I was lazy about requesting a panel - anyone want to do an informal one around DSA Convention with me where I talk critically about what has and hasnt worked in NYC
Does the American right-wing believe in anything?
"We want the list"
I would love to read a general interest book about how pretty much every major world cuisine as we know it was completely reinvented over a period of 50-100 years in the wake of the Colombian exchange--chilis coming to India and China, tomatoes to Italy, etc. etc.
Just remember: Not a single European, much less any Italian, had eaten a tomato until the 16th century.
Is this the first time ANYONE has acknowledged that Zohran won the Jewish vote
At Hampton Synagogue this morning, Andrew Cuomo said he "didn't debunk" Mamdani enough. Cuomo added that Mamdani got "more than 50 percent" of the Jewish vote. "Those young people, the under-30 people, they are pro-Palestinian, and they don't consider it being anti-Israel."
Its crazy how the racists crawl out of the woodwork when you mention Zohran and now Omar Fateh. I think theyre scared that we will win :)
ISLAMIC SOCIALISM IS REVIVING THE AMERICAN LEFT. PREPARE TO RECITE THE SHAHADA
Zohran and now Omar Fateh's rising success signals that the Dem base is sick of the conservative wing of the party.

remarkable moment from candidate intros: State Sen. John Hoffman, who was attacked at who was shot in a politically motivated attack in June, sends a video in support of “his vice chair” of the Senate Human Services Committee, @OmarFatehMN “He leaves his ego in the hallway”
TY, @DSALatSoc for organizing a picnic today for us to be in community. It was exciting to meet a number of new members who joined after canvassing for Zohran. Gracias compañeres! ✊🏼🌹
Was this just a common media trope or were mayors more visible in public life a few decades ago?
The amount of mayor related plotlines in the stuff I watched as a kid had me massively overestimate their impact on my day to day life
A poll just came out with Environment as the Dems' strongest issue
Not depressing at all, this would be great!
Shortly after Biden dropped out, Harris led Trump by 3%-4% nationally, before collapsing into a Trump popular vote victory. That the Dem post-mortem wont question how the Harris campaign rapidly blew their lead is ABSURD. It does nobody any good to pretend she couldn’t have won.
The only position a socialist elected can take is that no country doing what Israel is doing deserves a dime of our money

I think that Zohran shouldn't have addressed the 'intifada' thing at all as its a literally fake smear campaign (he never said it) and responding is a trap. That said he handled it well and used it to refocus on America's de facto financing of the genocide.
Not many people know there is going to be a public stand off between NYC Italians and New Jersey Italians over Zohran on Monday
more and more people are saying it: the private sector has no idea how to productively invest surplus
Some CEOs think it's time to build data centers on the moon. In a CNBC interview the CEO of one real estate firm says companies are looking to "monetize space" by building manufacturing plants and data centers up on the moon.
Globalize the condemnation of Israel's daily war crimes.
Seeing the hideous cuts to public services happening right now, I understand the impulse the left hand from the 70s onwards to build nonprofits etc to pick up where the government left off. Ironically that strategy is part of what has lead to today's mess, but I get it
