The Land of Lincoln DSA is on Bluesky now, by popular demand! And by popular, I mean a couple people asked about it. But hey, since we're here, we might as well mingle! If you're DSA-curious, get in touch with us!
We recently added to our bylaws a resolution condemning both zionism and anti-semitism. We made both grounds for removal; as well as anti-Arab racism or Islamophobia. While we adopted these before the 2025 Convention, DSA becoming an anti-zionist org convinced us to strengthen our position. 1/3

This December 3rd, there’ll be a town hall in the Bank of Springfield Center at 5:30 to discuss the data center Cyrus One is threatening our community with. They've made all sorts of claims about how their data center won’t impact our water supply or our power bills, but we know they’re lying.

Some good news for everybody, cause we could all really use it.
For the record: I lived in Africa for 11 years. There is no such thing as an "unprovoked attack" by an herbivore. Cape buffalo have a very low tolerance for predators looking at them the wrong way. www.expressnews.com/news/texas/a...
