Turns out police superintendents CAN order their officers to intervene in unlawful immigration detentions.

Chicagoans will pay $76 per person this year for police misconduct settlements.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"

Chicago DSA members were out 6AM in 6 degrees this morning to support Starbucks workers at the Armitage/Hoyne store who walked out this morning and are now ON STRIKE! Workers will be picketing until noon today and tentatively 6AM-1PM tomorrow and Saturday if you’re able to stop by and join them.

A union contract is the only way we can stop these systemic problems that have been making Starbucks worse year-after-year. It would only cost the company less than a day's worth of sales to put fair pay, fair scheduling, and strong protections in writing through a contract.

Ironic given I’m not in either and I think my 1M1V articles last summer probably got my face put up on some dartboards. Also since “NGO-style politics” is also associated with the “right.” Speaks to the pervasiveness of the politics, imo!
1. It is a great article, thank you for reading and highlighting
2. It tickles me to see you and other Liberal Current people read it because this is a foundational text for the "DSA right" caucuses, Socialist Majority Caucus and Groundwork.

It’s true, the article was basically finished, argument-wise, 3+ months before that fight blew up, the earliest draft was from 18 months earlier. The draft sent to the editors was the 8th (!) draft. It took a month+ from the pitch for the editors to run it, which made the timing unfortunate
I don’t think Ramsin was drawing from this specifically but at the time there was a faction in CDSA that was against the chapter endorsing in local school board races because members didn’t authentically represent our neighborhoods or whatever. Meanwhile you had parent candidates asking for it lol

One of the things that shapes the difference in strategy between the right and the left is there is no scarcity on the right. There is so much money in so few hands they’ll throw it and anybody and everybody who sniffs their jock. The left is crabs in a barrel
I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.
So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

Last week, 65,000+ residents voted to elect a democratic socialist mayor. All Council races that had a DSA-endorsed candidate won by overwhelming margin. These results send a clear message: people want leaders who will fight for working-class communities, not corporate interests.
