Happening now, the US House is considering several amendments to the NDAA, which would ban trans people from bathrooms on military bases, create further care bans, and more.

Nancy Mace has hurled slurs on the house floor repeatedly.

Watch with me.

Related, from Walter Benjamin, before he died fleeing the Nazis:
"The growing proletarianization of modern man and the increasing formation of masses are two aspects of the same process. Fascism attempts to organize the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structre which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves. The masses have a right to change property relations; Fascism seeks to give them an expression while preserving property. The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life. The violation of the masses, whom Fascism, with its Führer cult, forces to their knees, has its counterpart in the violation of an apparatus which is pressed into the production of ritual values."

NEW: A group of DNC members are pushing to bring Resolution 18 to a full DNC vote.

The DNC Resolutions Committee killed it earlier today.
It calls for a ceasefire, arms embargo to Israel, and recognition of Palestine.

Just 8% of Democrats approve of Israel's military action in Gaza.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 26, 2025 Coalition Calls on DNC Members to Bring Gaza Resolution 18 to the Floor Minneapolis, Minnesota - Today, the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) Resolutions Committee killed Resolution 18: A Resolution in support of Palestinian lives. Resolution 18, introduced by DNC member Allison Minnerly, seeks to invest American dollars in America by suspending U.S. military aid to Israel and conditioning weapons transfers on compliance with U.S. and international law. After Resolution 18 was defeated, DNC Chair Ken Martin pulled his Resolution 3, which was in discordance with the Democratic base, expressing a desire to hear voices in support of Palestinian lives. A coalition of DNC members and grassroots organizations are asking to bring Resolution 18 to the full DNC floor with a clear message: we will continue to fight for the will of the voters. While Resolution 18 failed in committee, party rules allow members to bring it to the full DNC and to require a recorded roll-call vote if at least 25% of members present support the request. "The DNC membership has the power to stand up and let the public see where Democrats really stand," said Allison Minnerly, a 26-year-old DNC Member from Florida. "A roll-call vote is the minimum standard of transparency in a democracy." The campaign calls on every DNC member to: • Publicly pledge to support a roll-call vote on Resolution 18 from the floor; • Reject voice votes that hide accountability; • Stand with Democratic voters, the majority of whom oppose blank-check military aid toward an ongoing genocide. RootsAction: "We continue to strongly support 'A Resolution on Gaza,' and we are pleased to be part of the coalition that will bring it to the DNC floor. Transparency and accountability are central to democracy. Across the United States, young Democrats and others have worked tirelessly to offer the party the opportunity to turn away from its complicity with Israel's continuous mass killing of civil… Aftab Siddiqui, American Muslim Democratic Caucus National: "Resolution 18 represents exactly the kind of principled politics that wins elections. While Democrats lost ground in 2024 by wavering on core values, New York City's mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, proved that moral courage on Gaza builds winning coalitions. The DNC must learn this lesson." Nick Boyle, Illinois, DNC member: "What we are seeing with the genocide in Gaza is the world's largest ongoing mass disabling event. The fact that Gaza has more children amputees than anywhere else in the world, caused by bombs sent by the United States, should abhor everyone. We can't hold our breath waiting for Netanyahu to do the right thing. For disabled people living in Gaza and Palestine, the DNC must call for an immediate arms embargo and demand an end to Palestinian suffering and the genocide in Gaza." Zayed Kadir, New York, Chair of the High School Democrats: "Resolution 18 represents the voices of not only young Democrats but all Democrats who believe that Palestinian lives matter too. It's time for the DNC to stand on principle and stop shying away from the conversation, the moment is now." Nadia Ahmad, Florida: "The Democratic Party cannot claim to stand for justice and human rights while blocking a resolution that calls for an arms embargo and humanitarian aid to Gaza. This is about whether our party has the moral courage to listen to its members and the American people. We are demanding a roll-call vote so that every DNC member is accountable for where they stand in this historic moment." Immediate Call to Action 1. Tell the DNC that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza demands urgent action. Send a letter now urging members to bring Resolution 18 back to the floor and vote for it tomorrow: https://bit.ly/DNCGazaRollCall 2. Contact your state elected DNC Members demanding that they support Palestinian lives, not genocide. As the plenary session approaches, the campaign will publish a transparency scorecard t…

I think we're definitely past the point where this reflects much more poorly on Jeffries than it does on Mamdani. www.nydailynews.com/2025/08/26/m...
Mamdani meets with Hakeem Jeffries, again, but still no word on endorsement
Hakeem Jeffries has been hesitant to throw his weight behind Mamdani and has expressed concerns about Mamdani’s pro-Palestine stance. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Gov. Kathy Hochul have…

Another nonpartisan study confirms: under this latest tax scam, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Because of anti-worker yes-men in Congress, income for the poorest will drop by $1,200/year while boosting income for the wealthiest by $13,600. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Join us at Pride on 39th! Visit our table to learn more about DSA and what our Queer Liberation Working Group has been doing over the last year! May 30-June 1, on 39th east of Youngs Blvd. A photo shows a person smiling and waving, standing behind a table with a banner that reads "Better worlds are possible" Statement on Pride Sponsorship: The Oklahoma City chapter of DSA has a strong position for the support and advancement of self determination for all oppressed communities that are under the thumb of imperialism. As a part of that commitment, we recognize the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and aid the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Pepsico, a sponsor of Pride on 39th, acquired Sodastream for $3.2 billion and owns 50% of Sabra, both of which contribute to the “israeli” occupation of Palestine. Our chapter recognizes Pepsi’s participation in apartheid and encourages everyone to boycott their products.
