How an ‘antisemitism hoax' drowned out the discovery of mass graves in Gaza. Read my latest article here: middleeasteye.net/opinion/antise…
I wanted to give a big thankyou to @DSAWorkingMass Without their reporting, it is likely we never would have seen the violence Mayor Wu and the BPD unleashed on students I only arrived after seeing their updates. Keep up the amazing work and give them a follow. #bospoli #mapoli
Sniper on the roof of the IMU. Absolutely unhinged response to a nonviolent encampment by a murderous and paranoid police state.

Unions have historically organized against the working class instead of the bourgeoisie several times. White collar workers went on strike to try and crush the early USSR and had to be disbanded.
Nikolai Ostrovsky. A Bolshevik at 13. Fighting for the Red Army in the Russian civil war at 16. Typhus at 18. Blind at 25. Novelist at 30. Dead at 32. An electrician whose novel, How the Steel was Tempered, became one of the most read in the history of the Russian language.
The US destroying the fake international order (UNSC, ICC, ICJ) to defend the real international order (violence from the west without accountability)
If we lived in a just world, DSA members would stop fighting about the budget and start contesting this argument.
the truth is marxism doesn't exist anymore and neither does anarchism we're all just communists who haven't finished figuring out what that means now
Militant unions are needed under capitalism because the people don't really "rule" even the public sector. The capitalist class holds the power. Workers working for the public sector have to use all the tools in the union tool chest to fight back and defend themselves.
On the other hand, in truly democratic membership orgs (of which there are very few — DSA and maybe a few US unions today — and no almost all nonprofits don't count as this) workers bargain with their equals who have been elected as member representatives.
The argument made here is that staff unions in truly democratic membership orgs and workers in the public sector both confront the same kind of boss. But that assumes that elected officials in the US government have real democratic legitimacy. That's wrong.
…for an incredibly narrow view of trade unionism that undermines the legitimacy of the unions that millions of U.S. workers (and thousands of DSA members, including me!) are part of. I’m honestly shocked and appalled that anyone in B&R is still co-signing this
School officials, mayors, governors, & presidents are not elected in democratic/fair elections. And even if they were, they'd still come under immense undemocratic pressure from the private sector. That's why militant unions are 100% needed in the public sector under capitalism.
I have my critiques, I also don't want to be represented by a Zionist ghoul. I will register as a democrat for the primary and I will hate myself for it but I will pokemongo to the polls for Bowman Yonkers will in fact pop
I'm fighting for ALL of us. For the people who have been left behind. No wonder MAGA Republicans hate me! And no wonder they're trying to buy this seat. But NY-16 won't let them. On June 25th we're going to take our fight to the next level. Our work is just getting started!
@Shaneless93 Great, then actually make that argument instead of publicly lying about the nature of layoffs.
If this were the case, we could actually have frank discussions about the different visions for DSA's operation and have a productive political struggle. Instead, we have constant outrage bait from a section of the org who apparently ascribe to the theory of "rule or ruin."
Ultimately, this section of the org refuses to make an honest argument because it suspects that its position will be unpopular with the membership. Just like how it wouldn't be honest about why it defended Bowman to the hilt after he voted for the Iron Dome and visited Israel.
I'd respect the right wing of the org more if they'd just be honest and admit that their opposition to layoffs is based on their political vision for DSA, which is centered around it being staff-managed and directed, instead of making things up whole cloth.
The question is not whether DSA is different from the state (of course it is), but in what specific way is it different that means our workers should not have a right collective bargaining and can be laid off without cause. I don’t think such a justification exists.
Not only do your politics suck, you look awful.
A really basic but important rule in life: if your partner makes the effort to dress up for an event, you should too. This is so annoying to look at.
Today, unions normally organize against the capitalist class and fight for the well-being of the whole community (not just workers in the bargaining unit). Organizing against DSA while we weather a financial crisis in the middle of the fight against zionist genocide is not it.
@Gompers_Stomper sect politics precludes honesty and integrity
@mental_ilIinois @centristmarxist From the beginning of this conversation you have only given vague, bad faith gestures at the supposed presence of anti-labor law members of DSA. Suggesting a particular filing is based on dubious evidence is not against labor law or the rights of workers!
