Meet the donors backing our opposition. DraftKings. DoorDash. Big Real Estate. The pro-Israel lobby. Our opponents need that corrupt cash to win, but we have the power of the people.

DARK MONEY VERSUS NYC-DSA
Our slate is funded by tens of thousands of small-dollar donors, but our opponents are getting bankrolled by the pro-Israel lobby, real estate and...Draft Kings?

SHADY SUPER PACS HAVE SPENT OVER
$8.5 MILLION
AGAINST OUR DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST CANDIDATES
And that's just counting outside spending, not direct donations to our opponent's campaigns.
Next NYC, one of these anti-DSA PACS, has raised $500k from real estate donors-including
MSG owner, billionaire, and Trump donor
JAMES DOLAN.

PRO-ISRAEL DONORS:
OVER $600K
This includes $150k spent against Darializa Avila Chevalier and Conrad Blackburn, outspoken opponents of the genocide in Gaza.

DRAFTKINGS & FANDUEL:
OVER $415K
Gambling companies have spent over $375k just to support Conrad Blackburn's opponent, Jordan Wright, who sits on the state's Racing & Wagering Committee (aka the gambling committee).

Boston MUG recommends a NO vote on endorsement of Erika Uyterhoeven at tomorrow's general meeting and expresses concern at vote-whipping tactics than undermine chapter democracy. Boston MUG also recommends members rank MUG member Eric L #1 for the new Socialist In Office Committee and Travis B #2.

Endorsement Recommendation for Boston DSA

VOTE NO ON ERIKA UYTERHOEVEN FOR STATE SENATE

Read the full explanation for our position, which is based on these themes:
Compromise and political trading vs. principled opposition
Failure to work with Boston DSA in such a manner as to engage with our democratic decision-making
Outstanding questions about co-governance: how will DSA’s deliberative decision making weigh against other coalition partners?
Recent lack of endorsement for our Somerville mayoral candidate Willie Burnley Jr.
No clear plan to backfill the 27th Middlesex District State House seat with a DSA candidate
Concerning vote-whipping tactics which risk the integrity of our member democracy

VOTE NO ON THIS ENDORSEMENT

Boston MUG
endorses Eric L. #1 for SIOC
Recommends Travis B #2

Eric L. is a MUG member running to further a partyist vision of Boston DSA’s relationship with its elected officals- building an independent socialist bloc that is responsive to the democratic decisions of DSA.

Eric is co-chair of the Merrimack valley neighborhood, and is a former member of the Boston DSA CC and has worked as a volunteer on countless socialist campaigns.

Boston MUG recommends members rank experienced and principled organizer Travis B #2 on your SIOC ballot

Boston DSA and @merrimackdsa.bsky.social are happy to announce our endorsement of Marcos Candido for Lowell City Council. Preliminary elections are September 9! Join us this Sunday for a canvass to build a better, more affordable Lowell: bdsa.us/canvass-for-...

Boston Democratic Socialists of America endorses Marcos Candido for Lowell City Council District 8

BDSA and Merrimack Valley DSA are proud to endorse Marcos Candido for Lowell City Council. Marcos is committed to being a strong democratic socialist voice north of Boston, breaking with the Council's complacency and obstruction and instead championing a transformation of housing, immigrant rights, and urban planning.

Growing up in an under-resourced city as a son of immigrants, and as a former NIH researcher and union organizer, Marcos understands the struggles of working families. He is committed to taking on the housing crisis driven by the real estate industry and improving public transit and accessible infrastructure in Lowell.

While the current Lowell City Council has cut funds for education and public health to increase the police budget, Marcos has a plan to build affordable housing, fully fund public schools, improve public transit, and guarantee transparency at Lowell City Hall.

Again, there have been ZERO quantifications of actual acts of violence and antisemitic harassment leading to criminal convictions stemming from campus protests. Because if there was a quantification, it would be quickly recognized that this is a moral panic premised on wild exaggerations.

NEW: @nbcnews.com confirmed last night that the Trump admin almost sent a dozen men from Vietnam, the Philippines, Laos, and Mexico to Libya, a country described as a “hellscape” for migrants where some have been SOLD INTO SLAVERY and many have been subjected to extraordinary horrors.

May 8, 2025, 6:37 PM EDT
By Kimmy Yam and Laura Strickler
A Filipino immigrant detained in Texas described being woken up at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday by armed guards in tactical gear, being told he was being sent to Libya, and then waiting for hours on a bus at a military base outside a military plane, his lawyer said.
The flight never took off and he was sent back to solitary confinement in the Texas facility along with the other 12 detainees, mostly from Asian countries, the immigrant's lawyer, Johnny Sinodis, told NBC News. The immigrant requested anonymity due to fear of retaliation.
The immigrants, including people from the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Mexico, would later learn that their attorneys filed an emergency motion after reports that the Trump administration had planned to send a group of immigrants to Libya.

You know that if the New York Times is reporting this, then the situation is extremely dire. Palestinians have been saying for months that famine is happening due to Israel’s siege. That is a war crime, Israel is the agent, the US is the sponsor, and American taxpayers are rendered complicit.

Andrew Cuomo is functionally a Republican. He was a terrible governor and would be a terrible mayor. He is a serial sexual harasser. He fought against every progressive achievement during his tenure. Politics is complicated, but this endorsement is nothing to be proud of.
