While Starbucks workers are on ULP strike across the country, community allies are standing in solidarity in all kinds of ways! Besides vowing to not buy Starbucks ANYWHERE, members of DSA Labor are running strike kitchens to feed baristas while they hold the picket line.

The rhetoric peddled to young women on social media today is a plea for a return to innocence, domesticity, and “traditional femininity.” In some spheres, this manifests as right-wing propaganda, complete with antifeminist talking points. Read the full article here: www.cpusa.org/article/trad...

The MAGA GOP has closed the John Brown museum at Harpers Ferry. They say it's DEI. But our history will not be denied or silenced. The former slave's spiritual still shouts across the centuries "John Brown's body lies rotting in the grave but his truth goes marching on!"

With peace prize for Machado, Nobel Committee shows it favors the ruling class. Despite the image it presents of itself, the Nobel Committee is not neutral in matters of world politics.

From criminalization to compassion: Rethinking addiction. Criminalization seems to do more harm than good; it can lead to people being afraid to seek help, and it perpetuates stigma around drugs and the people who use them.

Racism in the U.S. is organized violence. It's systemic and deeply embedded in the history, economy, politics and the country's criminal justice institutions. The cause is monopoly capitalism. On this anniversary we pledge once again to continue the fight.

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
