Proud this has reached over 125 sponsorships. Convention must pass this reso, which ties our immediate tasks to an electoral offensive for city council supportive of Zohran but openly and explicitly struggling around an independent radical program not limited by his compromises

If you listen to the far right they call the Minneapolis protest a crucial defeat to "ANTIFA" and a turning point when the Jews/Neocons took over. They were (and are) demanding escalation and martial law to crush the people who they saw as DEFEATING the regime.
Let’s think this through—what is blowing up and Netanyahu being released immediately? It means that Trump would either have to back off or ‘Metro Surge’ NYC—an incredibly unpopular move that originally turned the tide of Trump sentiment. If the Trump administration attempts military occupation over Israel, that makes it clear he is an enemy, and maybe it’ll teach the socialists to have solidarity with the forces that are actually inviting state repression, maybe you will have some understanding that the vanguard is not who fills the most potholes but the masses that are actually in struggle with the state. Every single citizen of Minneapolis is braver and more revolutionary than anyone who thinks like this, and they prove time and time again that this attitude is purely voluntary and not determined

Is it legal to remove someone from an illegal protest? (Obviously you can ask.) Much to think about
My friend joined the protest, but she was wearing a shirt with a resistance fighter on it that said “existence is resistance” and she was immediately told to remove it and then two more people showed up to escort her away from the action.
JVP blocks mention of ‘resistance’

When it comes to choosing corporations over our communities, I’ll always be with our communities!
This is our first commercial, but to make sure we get in front of so many I haven’t met yet, it will take ALL of us.

Any Democrat or democratic socialist who votes by mail in this authoritarian environment is naive. They are sabotaging USPS. Don't throw away your ballot.

The left is obsessed with following the rules because it is largely upper middle class. All rules are made up, all rules can be broken, all rules can be tested. We continue to push away the working class because they are begging us to shred the rules & we will not

It’s the last hours to sign!!! This needs more signatures to bring it over the line. If you haven’t signed on yet please do now!
NYC-YDSA's co-chairs Cass B and Matthew Smith argue in this op-ed that the current growth of the organization and its impending tasks make one thing clear: NYC-DSA Needs A Strong Youth Wing, and It Needed One Yesterday.

It’s neither, he has a strategy and only so much power. The conspiracyism is stupid and a waste of time. As we speak, there is movement within NYC to employ a strategy of “helping Zohran deliver”—this tendency needs to be critiqued and defeated as the basis for more radical action

In what world could he possibly arrest Netanyahu without it blowing up in his face and Netanyahu being released immediately

Because you force the arguments in the courts, and using genocide statutes can force the US government to actively defend genocide in court. It's not different to what Trump is doing by kidnapping Maduro and forcing Courts to address jurisdictional Qs over heads of State
In what world could he possibly arrest Netanyahu without it blowing up in his face and Netanyahu being released immediately

underrated thing about the usefulness of these compromises and failures is that we learn from them. Claire and darializa are very much a response to AOC’s failures, especially on Gaza. And when Claire and darializa compromise, we’ll get better future candidates too.

This is the entire thrust of this article, which explicitly discusses deblasio: the temptation to deliver yourself into defeat is the problem

this is because melenchon is the last actual liberal remaining. the rest are poseurs
Mélenchon's presidential campaign so far:
- accelerate the great replacement
- rename the French language to "Créole"
- cancel all debt Fight Club style
- let Russia conquer Ukraine
- declared white people "ugly"
- declare war on Germany
He went from 11% to 20% in the polls

As a side note you have to imagine this is how Trumpies were talking to each other after he didn’t lock Clinton up. He put it in his platform, there’s a radical hunger, and it’s going to come out in some form
Don’t disagree on disbanding the SRG but I’m sorry, saying Zohran should simply arrest Netanyahu is the leftist version of “don’t siege Leningrad, take it immediately.”
Netanyahu would be freed immediately and Zohran would risk his entire mayoralty over basically a stunt.
