Federal Workers United @fedworkersunited.bsky.social · 10d

The Trump administration has tried to blame federal workers while withholding $6 billion for SNAP that could prevent millions from going hungry. Federal workers are the families working without pay, applying for loans & struggling to feed our families. And we will hold the line for these services. 💪

Whatever this poll means, its clear: Democratic voters don't want the same corporate candidates, they want something new.

Omar Fateh @omarfatehmn.com · Aug 24

Yesterday, over 250 neighbors arrived at The United Labor Center to let everyone know that Minneapolis will not be silenced. We turned anger into action and knocked thousands of doors to let our neighbors know what’s at stake in this election.

On to November! fatehformayor.com

Omar Fateh speaks to the crowd at the rally.

Line-up of rally speakers and supporters includes Councilmember Jason Chavez, School Board member Greta Callahan, Ward 8 City Council candidate Soren Stevenson, Senator Omar Fateh, Councilmember Aurin Chowdhury, Council President Elliott Payne, and SEIU Director Chris Stinson.

Park Board candidates Michael Wilson, Dan Engelhart, and Jason Garcia speak in support of Omar Fateh.

Hundreds of supporters of Omar Fateh for Minneapolis Mayor hold signs and pose for photo.

Don’t Risk Evil Andrew for Mayor @dreamfornyc.bsky.social · Aug 13

How can the left harness the power of creativity to break out of the political bubble? We talked to @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social for @hammerandhope.bsky.social about DREAM's history, strategy, and using hatred for good.

“Zohran Mamdani Helped Us Love New York. We Helped New Yorkers Hate On Andrew Cuomo.”

Scrappy leftist organizers are learning their political campaigns “can succeed by being creative and speaking the truth in interesting ways.”

We’re proud of our whole slate. Alejandra, Carl and Sumter are excellent organizers who will continue to lead in powerful DSA chapters. We’re thankful for all the great conversations we had with members over the past few months — so many across the country want a DSA for all.

People are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District.

It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here.

That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1.

GNDCC’s Convention Report, posted last week, provides key context for deliberation on this year’s GNDCC Res (CR03) and the amendment. The history of GNDCC shows how the amendment would take DSA backwards without building internal democracy or deepening external strategy. 🧵
