The Libertarian Socialists Caucus believes that the police must be abolished, and as such we have signed onto the Emerge Caucus statement on the NYPD. But we add that true power won't come from the right person in city hall. Sign: bit.ly/fundpeoplenotpolice #nypd #nyc #mamdani #nycdsa #socialism

In "The Workers' Way to Freedom," Pannekoek warns that socialists in power often become "delegates of the capitalist class." When we hold office under capitalism, the pressure to manage the status quo, rather than transform it, is immense. 🧵 1/4

This "duty" to govern leads to the restart of homeless sweeps. Even with a 7-day warning, sweeps kill and displace. As Pannekoek says, the role of public official eventually forces the use of police against the vulnerable to maintain "order" for the capitalist class. 3/4

Mamdani’s success and DSA’s are now linked. To counter the oligarchs, we must empower members to push back on these cuts & sweeps. This coordination requires open communication & deep democracy in NYC-DSA, building a movement that doesn’t just manage the state, but holds our leaders accountable.

As an executive, Mayor Mamdani is forced to govern, making the tension Pannekoek warns of especially acute. To satisfy the capitalist class and media, Mamdani has proposed NYPL cuts—reneging on campaign promises. Executives often sacrifice workers to maintain state stability. 2/4

Candidate for Californias 40th Congressional District @estherkimvaret.bsky.social loves to spend her saturday nights attacking community organizers in SPICY DMS! 🥵 Is this who we want to represent us? How is this any different than Chuck Schumer or Young Kim? #OrangeCounty #ICE #Gaza

The project not only requires us to win gains in the workplace, building R&F militancy instead of leadership alliances, but to expand solidarity to include all battles for worker power and liberation, from the shopfloor to the ports to Palestine.

As a 5-year UFCW member, he formed a rank-and-file group that used direct action and petitions to force the local to finally adopt open bargaining and democratically elect a bargaining committee. In DSA, he's arranged socialist job fairs to help organize industry.

We can't afford a costly local fundraising proposal that divides comrades from national. A successful Zohran campaign must expand the terrain, not limit WG interaction and leadership accountability

Let's Meet the Moment and sustain a principled and effective member organization! Please support the cross-tendency push for a January 2026 special delegated meeting, following parliamentary procedure, to revise our bylaws & build a participatory and democratic NYC-DSA! forms.gle/q9ywttXpRL4f...

Mutual aid has always been a key part of left-wing organizing. DSA without a mutual aid program will re-create the failures of the Democratic party. Join DSA. If your chapter doesn't yet have a mutual aid program, start one.

We have our own priorities, but as DSA members, one thing we want is a bigger DSA. DSA should include people excited by the Mamdani campaign AND people excited by labor organizing AND people who want to do mutual aid and immigrant defense in their neighborhoods.

In addition to being a close copy of our video's structure, Harper's video suffers inaccuracies typical of someone who is more unfamiliar with the organization's internal politics. We do not recommend using it as a trusted source of information.

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Translation: "We want to kidnap your neighbors and deport them, then go out with Republicans for drinks."

New Dems just released our Immigration & Border Security framework—a plan for how we can pass commonsense, bipartisan policies that fix our system & address the issues Americans care most about. Read more about it in @washingtonpost.com ⬇️ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

American democratic socialism could emerge as a major political force in this country -- but its main organization, DSA, is currently encumbered by those who have no interest in such a perspective. I wrote about it all! www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

We have decided to close down new member onboarding starting in September and running no later than January with membership empowered to vote to re-open membership. This has been done in order to give us time to work on upgrades to how we handle onboarding and developing new members.

Doesn't have to be with us, but go get organized. Advocate for your neighbors, hold your representatives accountable. Start conversations with your friends and family. We CAN build a better future. It starts with getting together.
