Love seeing you all stand in solidarity with liberation caucus on this topic. It doesn’t matter which caucus a dsa member belongs to. No one should be kicked out of a leadership role they were elected to. Just because someone else may not like the faction the elected member belongs to.

It's a certain type of online brain rot to believe that my posts about trans youth completing suicide, while being failed by the adults around them, is because of a cynical social media strategy rather than genuine anger at those creating the circumstances that lead to those tragedies.
Alejandra doomposts & makes enemies out of people who actually support her cause because her relevance depends on others being mad and scared.
It does her no good to tell followers that they're resilient/strong, or coalition build.
In any other context people would rightly call this manipulative.

You can't separate this from the Atlantic article claiming their are too many students with disabilities. It's a moral panic meant to push out young people with disabilities from access to resources and to reify ableist bigotry. It's exactly what they did to trans people.

I was about to take my finals in psychology when the professor said that he would give us all a 'B', ONLY if we all unanimously voted for it.
There were 4 people who voted against it.
Our professor said, "This is why we do not have universal healthcare."

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
