The most important thing a guy can do with his friends is to rhythmically dance in a circle, the second most important thing is to join DSA
What kind of culture is this?
As a longtime humanitarian who has battled famines and hunger crises, I fear that starvation in Gaza has now passed the tipping point and we are going to see mass-scale starvation mortality. A thread on famine momentum, famine response, and what it means for Gaza today.

i am suddenly developing strong opinions on elected officials possibly marrying their siblings
New: Mpls Rep. Ilhan Omar is staying out of the Mpls mayoral race for now and doesn't plan to back endorsed DSA candidate Omar Fateh or incumbent Mayor Frey. "I live in Mpls, and so I will be taking a closer look, and at some point deciding who I will vote for," she told me.
Zionists in Jerusalem conclude that Jews in New York fear a Muslim politician.
👀The Jewish People Policy Institute, falsely claiming Mamdani used the slogan “globalize the Intifada” (he has not), published online poll showing that 61% of U.S. Jews and 45% of Jewish New Yorkers believe Mamdani’s views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are antisemitic.

I read all 16,100 of Zohran Mamdani’s tweets. First takeaway: yeah, he’s actually a socialist.
The importance of the U of Chicago example is that the admin’s decision to destroy the humanities has no economic imperative whatsoever: it is purely ideological, a matter of choice
One of the many insane things about what’s happening at U of C is that the university had its best fundraising year ever, bringing in over $1 billion.
European countries recognising Palestine as a state now does not absolve them of their complicity in the genocide and starvation of Palestinians, or in enabling decades of occupation these gestures will not stop Israel nor will they feed the children of gaza, we need real action
Thinking about this more, I would really like for the NPC to send a letter with advice to these comrades and maybe even an offer to provide expertise and technical support (for example penalties would be super helpful for them!!) can we do that?
If you were to offer a short list of advice from DSA to these comrades, what would you say are the most useful suggestions? What do you think are the key lessons we can offer?
Who will complete the trifecta of dead chudded out Gen X icons?
This is precisely how my undergrad student financial aid justice movement ran itself. "Members" had no connection other than the next node on the organizing tree. No meetings. No place to ask questions about strategy between meetings. Just feeling around in the dark.
when I form my cadre org/cult rule #1 will be no groupchats of any kind. no "organizing" effort has ever been furthered by a whatsapp, signal, or telegram. if you think it has you're part of the problem
Lost to history now but there were a few days in August before Harris made her pick where you’d get called antisemitic if you suggested Tim Walz was more of a progressive ally than Josh Shapiro especially on Israel/Palestine. Don’t think that one is coming back
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Mamdani: "He left open far too much space for extremists to either use his words or for him to not condemn the words of extremists that said some blatantly antisemitic things." jewishinsider.com/2025/07/josh-s…
Remember that fascists, especially genocidal fascists, will NEVER be satiated. NEVER. Columbia can rename itself KKKolumbia, outlaw Muslims and anti-fascist Jews, and they will still demand more.
The government called for major reforms at @Columbia. Instead, we have a deal where half of the "reforms" are agreeing to comply with existing laws, while letting discriminatory, terror-supporting faculty maintain their leadership positions. This is embarrassing.
You guys have to stop following accounts like this, all it does is undermine the left
Antisemitism is NOT real. I’m not religious. The idea that I have to accept your goofy fucking Jewish stories about you being God’s chosen people and accept the existence of your apartheid state is ABSURD. Fuck you
Free oomf
An Israeli woman was reportedly arrested by the Shin Bet on the suspicion that she would try to kill ICC-wanted Benjamin Netanyahu. qudsnen.co/israeli-woman-…
In the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani's win in New York’s mayoral primary, DSA should take advantage of this moment to build DSA to 100,000 members by the end of the year. 1/6
Remember when it came out Josh Shapiro had made several racist comments about Palestinians and Arabs in an OpEd in college, and he didn't even apologize but said his "views have changed."
Grateful Jacobin published a brief excerpt from the intro of my book, Citizens of the Whole World. There are a lot of ways to read the cultural history of the American Jewish left, and one I would discourage would be, "see there are some good Jews out there" 1/5 🧵
In the last year and a half, thousands of left-wing American Jews have protested Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. They are taking part in a long tradition of anti-Zionist Jewish radicalism in the United States. jacobin.com/2025/07/baltha…
