Reminder that the DSA is as white as the Republican party. Maybe a little whiter.

That doesn't happen by accident when your chapters are in Brooklyn, Detroit, Atlanta and Baltimore.

Hamas has executed at least 33 people since the “ceasefire” began. 7 were dragged into Gaza City Square and shot there, for the high crime of opposing Hamas. Yet the pro-Palestine protestors don’t object.Because most of them are pro-Hamas and always have been. they just hate Jews.

This dude went to an elite private school.

Used grants intended to boost minority business ownership to start his oyster biz. Sells most of his harvest to mommy's multiple restaurants.

He's a silver spoon fraud.

4) What’s happening now is an attempt to render those sentiments acceptable in polite company & to make people feel guilty for having negative judgments about people who express their racism and anti-semitism.

Jared Golden represents an R+3 rural district. He’s the only one who can hold it. Don’t talk about things you don’t understand.

Janet Mills is 77 years old. She makes Susan Collins look young. The oyster farmer is 41. We need some fresh blood in politics, new ideas. But he better be a true Democrat. No more Fetterman or even Jared Golden (claims he is a Dem but former Susan Collins aide and sides with GOP/Trump).

Yeah they had some good progress in the 60s-70s but since then moneyed interests made it radioactive

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

PRIMARY EVERYONE means you have to win those fucking primaries, open your wallet, get on the streets, do the work. if you want a better democratic party, you will have to fight for it and win it, it will not be given, it will only be taken.

the awkward thing is the DSA isn't just antisemitic, but also racist towards other people of color.

ask her if there is more than one person of color in her little local chapter.

also why is it "Israel-Hamas" instead of "Israel-Palestine" or "IDF-Hamas".

the DSA has ending USAID as part of their official policy platform.

as you probably know by now, the end of USAID is projected to lead to 14 *million* deaths.

that's what the DSA is.

it’s honestly just crazy to me that so many drivers simply choose not to use blinkers when turning

it literally takes the tiniest bit of effort and has the benefit of making yourself and everyone around you safer.

like, why wouldn’t you use them? that’s what they’re there for!

That too and banging on the doors, terrorizing them. I remember that. So awful. This was a “fly your antisemitism flag” movement, NOT a peace one

I am so disappointed by this. I've seen my Jewish friends continue to be savaged on social media, branded genociders for daring to grieve the victims of the barbaric 10/7 terrorist attack, begging for the release of hostages, and standing for Israel's right to exist.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 1d

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Trust was broken when progressives joined antisemitic mobs and tore down posters of kidnapped babies.

When they used "Zionism" as a slur, supporting genocide against Jews.

When they lied that a war in Gaza was "genocide" & called Jews Nazis.

When there was silence about murders in DC and Boulder.

We have a lot of work to do right here to build trust.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️
