Labor Day was created by workers and made a federal holiday amid the labor militancy of 1894. Days later, federal troops were sent against striking Pullman workers. We’ll take any opportunity to celebrate those who fought, struck and organized for a better world. 🌹✊

The Republican-dominated Congress thinks that the very mention of socialism will inspire terror in the hearts of patriotic Americans. But it’s wrong to assume the American people are on board.
jacobin.com
With Anti-DSA Bill, Congress Is Red-Baiting Like It’s 1955
The House just passed a resolution condemning the Democratic Socialists of America and socialism broadly. While it rehearses opposition to Stalinist authoritarianism, the bill’s real preoccupation is with socialists’ advocacy for expanded democracy.

Our August 2026 Primary GMDSA Voter Guide is here We reached out to every candidate running in the August 11 primary with the same questionnaire and are publishing the responses we received alongside information about each race and our chapter’s endorsements Vote by mail or in person on August 11
Red cover for the Green Mountain Democratic Socialists of America 2026 Voter Guide. A large quote from Republican State House candidate Lynne Wilkins reads: “You’re out of your mind to think I would ever participate in socialism. Shame on you traitors to freedom and God!!!! Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone.” The quote is identified as a response to the GMDSA voter guide questionnaire. The title “GMDSA Voter Guide” appears above “August 11 Primaries.” A footer includes the Green Mountain DSA logo and the text, “Learn about who’s running, see our questionnaire, and candidate responses,” with an arrow indicating to swipe.Red informational slide titled “What Is This Guide?” It explains that Green Mountain DSA contacted every candidate running for office with the same questionnaire so voters could make an informed choice. Bullet points state that the guide includes candidate responses in their own words, identifies candidates who did not respond, provides statewide, Senate, and House race information, and includes GMDSA endorsements backed by chapter members. An illustration of a hand holding the voter guide appears on the right. The footer asks, “What questions did we ask?” with a swipe arrow.
Red slide titled “The Questionnaire.” It explains that the Electoral Committee selected ten questions for candidates and allowed space for additional comments. The ten questions cover: Just Cause protections for renters and workers; Act 48 single-payer healthcare; a $20 minimum wage; fossil fuel divestment; boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel; a moratorium on AI data centers; rejecting corporate and Super PAC money; statewide rent stabilization; abolition of ICE; and increasing income taxes on Vermonters earning over $250,000 along with a wealth proceeds tax. The footer reads, “How to Vote and Access the Full Guide,” with a swipe arrow.
Red closing slide titled “How to Vote and Access the Full Guide.” The left column explains how to vote by directing viewers to Vermont’s My Voter Page to check registration, find a polling place, request a mail-in ballot, and view a sample ballot. A QR code links to Vermont’s voter portal. The right column provides a second QR code linking to the full voter guide and notes that the guide is also available through the website greenmountaindsa.org. The footer includes the Green Mountain DSA logo, the chapter’s social media icons for Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, and Facebook, and the handle @greenmountaindsa.
