I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

Brad Lander commits to cosponsoring the Block The Bombs Act if elected, which would ban the US government from transferring cluster bombs, JDAMs, artillery and tank shells, and other munitions to the Israeli government.
Brad Lander: To build a just and safe future for Israelis and Palestinians, and to move toward a US foreign policy that aligns with our principles and our interests, it’s time to block the bombs.

It's never going to be what a lot of liberal hawks want it to be, but we can get rid of the vulgar campism certainly.

The greater the balance of normies to ultras in the organization, particularly flipping control of smaller chapters, the more likely we are going to be able to redirect the organization's foreign policy views.

Would also love to build networks with other Eastern and Southeastern European leftist parties. I think comparing notes with how activists are navigating confronting the right in Hungary, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, Lithuania, etc. could be really fruitful.

I think hosting events with Ukrainian leftists could be a real flashpoint that I wouldn't necessarily want to subject them to, but if they were willing to put up with it absolutely.

while this is not *surprising*, it is still *shocking*
if you remember the FBI + ICE + local raid on a horse race track in Wilder, Idaho that detained hundreds of families (including many kids & U.S. citizens) the @acluidaho.bsky.social just announced a lawsuit.
The complaint is just as disturbing as previous reporting www.aclu.org/press-releas...

PYM is going to cancel us again for aligning with a multiracial socialist party instead of the Based Jewkillers, and that'll give SOR a big sad

Yes. Many of those chapters, as they grow, will either crack under the strain of accommodating more normal people or will just become more normie chapters.

I think within DSA, there's a fairly large block of people who have vaguely ultra politics, are not particularly interested in whatever the campist idiots on the IC are pushing, but don't want to take any action about it because that would put them in alignment with the mass politics caucuses.

The issue fundamentally is that these people are a small and loud minority, they get tacit backing due to negative polarization from a much larger minority, and that minority controls Assembly through malapportionment that particularly empowers tiny Communist Pizza Party chapters.

It's also probably an important institution to have, we should have party-to-party relationships with other socialist parties.

Not ideal that the options for foreign policy jobs that aren't at the State Department are mostly at the Mohammed bin-Salman Institute for Dismemberment Studies or Generic Jewish Conservative Nonprofit #078, with the remainder at the Stalin & Putin Fellatio Society.

I don't actually think this is true, I think people on social media talk a lot about average dipshit tankies because they're on here too, they often disproportionately shape the discourse, and they're usually in your mentions sending you death threats and calling you slurs.
big chunk of online left-of-center types took "intent doesn't matter" re: racism etc & allowed it to metastasize into "actual ability to wield power doesn't matter, ergo the average dipshit tankie and Guy Breaking The Leahy Law To Facilitate Genocide are not just morally but practically equivalent"

And like obviously you try to get rid of those people whenever possible but in the meantime, well.

People who don't like DSA ignore the fact that being a Democrat means being part of the party where the majority of federal party officials are psychotic Zionists who are also actively fellating the Saudis. You kind of just need to put that aside and keep it moving.

And "being active" means more than voting, the "well DSA is a membership organization" dodge is bullshit formalism, if you've given more than $70 to political campaigns and done one (1) canvassing shift or attended one protest per year, you're about as engaged as the average DSA paper member.

Being active in American politics means being in cheek-and-jowl coalition with people who have absolutely dogshit takes about a foreign policy issue somewhere. Pick your poison, basically.
