Some on the left fear Zohran Mamdani won't be accountable to DSA and will distance himself from the org's positions. NYC-DSA tried to reassure members that Zohran actually works closely with the org – which led the NYPost and Andrew Cuomo to claim that Zohran will let DSA run City Hall.

At the end of September, DSA had just shy of 80,000 members in good standing nationally, while NYC-DSA had just shy of 11,000 members in good standing.

Democratic Socialists of America @demsocialists.bsky.social · 2d

For the first time in history, DSA has 80,000 members in good standing! Tens of thousands of new members have joined the last year alone. In the face of rising fascism, a US-backed genocide, and an escalating climate crisis, socialism is the only path forward. 1/3

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

President Trump is bucking tradition and legal precedent in pushing to deploy the National Guard to Democratic-led cities like Portland, Oregon, and Chicago due to what he says is rampant crime and to support his crackdown on illegal immigration.

These Supreme Court oral arguments on conversion therapy are going to be painful. No matter what is said, know that trying to force someone to be what they're not is psychological torture with measurable negative consequences, and anyone trying to defend such efforts is a bigoted monster.

more and more I am convinced a good share of why Trump 2 is so much worse than before is because of what Elon did to Twitter. it's like those group chats where people gassed themselves up to join ISIS, scaled up a millionfold

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

the DC outskirts are full of suburbs where you can metro into the city and all the necessities of life are within a 5-10 min drive or bike ride. it’s pretty elite honestly and even better if we build out our biking infrastructure.

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

As a society, we ought to close the "kill someone with your car and get away with it" loophole for murder.

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 2d

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

Doug Gordon @brooklynspoke.bsky.social · 8d

Imagine if we treated any other form of safety like this:"We should only install outlet covers in day care centers on a case-by-case basis, such as where a toddler has stuck his fingers in an electrical socket."

So instead of supporting universal daylighting, Brewer is now saying that the city should instead restrict parking at corners on a case-by-case basis, such as where there's been a crash or a fatality, a position that mimics that of the DOT.

Would read a senior thesis about the history of the preposterous design of the intersection of Connecticut Ave/185 and Veirs Mill Rd/586.

Action Committee for Transit @actfortransit.bsky.social · 7d

On Wed 9/3/25 1:17 pm
the driver (52/F) of a 2017 Toyota RAV4
making a U turn on Connecticut Ave/185 at Veirs Mill Rd/586
hit & injured a teenager (16/M) on an e-scooter
in a marked crosswalk.
Police (MCP2678005V) found the scooter user at fault: failure to obey traffic signal.

Satellite image of a truly preposterous giant four-way intersection with two giant slip lanes, two regular-sized slip lanes, and one of the marked crosswalks very angled. There is a red X in the south leg marked crosswalk, indicating the location of the crash. There is a red arrow pointing north toward the red X, indicating the first part of the driver's U-turn from going north to going south. There is a blue arrow pointing west in the marked crosswalk toward the red X, indicating the path of the scooter user.
