Socialist Majority believes in a majoritarian movement for democratic socialism: we work together toward a bigger and unified DSA.
We support the updated NYC-DSA dues page and applaud our SC members for voting to ensure there is only one standard of membership: national dues.

Tascha is a working-class hero. Kudos to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his campaign for always highlighting the importance that field organizing plays in building the majority we need.
Tascha gave so many people the courage to knock that first door, make that first call and build the bridges with our neighbors that got us this far.
Together, we fought for a city for all of us. Now, we’ll build a City Hall for all of us.

Sounds like a DSA position to me
“Every single person in the Epstein emails should be removed and excluded from positions of any power forever” would be a good op-ed, but probably won’t appear in the NYT. Even more importantly, it would be a good political party platform, but that probably won’t happen either

Trump wants us to believe he's unstoppable
But social scientists have found that 52% of all attempts to build autocracies are relatively quickly reversed by democratizing "U-Turns" — and, within the last 30 years, this number has risen to 73%

Mamdani does what I've been calling constructive politics: appeals to identity as a building block of solidarity rather than a replacement for it. love to see it
Mamdani turned up at BAYO at Barclay Center yesterday and said he was going to fight to get Haiti off the travel ban and he said Haiti correctly

One of the biggest limitations of almost all electoral efforts—including Obama & Bernie's campaigns—is that they dismantle their volunteer armies after election day
Instead, Zohran could actively transform his huge GOTV machine into a deep organizing campaign to win his agenda

So that's what Big Balls did with the terabytes of data he stole from the National Labor Relations Board a few weeks ago.
On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody
Those workers—and their employer—happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

Nathan ends: "Democracy surviving in the United States looks so much better than it did two weeks ago." I agree but with the caveat that the China tariffs could escalate to war and then democracy's chances get much worse

Funding is shut off for some Head Start programs in Washington State, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and possibly elsewhere, according to Lisa Desjardins.
Preschool programs will have to shut down if they don't receive the funds.
