Very exciting that DSA has over 120K members, but we have so much further to go: if Belgium's population was same size as the US, its main socialist organization, the Belgian Workers Party (PTB) would have 722,000 members

Last week, the Portland Police Bureau killed Kylo (their own dog) and a human person. Instead of just telling us that, PPB chose to execute a media blitz to try and convince the public they were sad that the dog was killed (passive voice) & that we should feel bad for them.

Economic Democracy Is at the Heart of Socialism

Democracy should not end when the workday begins. Workers deserve a say over how their workplaces are run -and a claim on the wealth they create.

"Here in the US, establishment Democrats and Republicans alike have shielded Netanyahu from prosecution for his crimes and sent over $21bn of our tax dollars in just two years to fund Israeli bombs." (1/2)
Israel has killed more than 73,000 people in Gaza. It has bombed hospitals, schools, places of worship, fishing boats, and refugee tents. It has collectively starved an entire population as a tool in its genocide.

It has subjected men, women and children to systematic sexual torture and imprisonment. It has threatened to kill people for flying kites, killed more than 1,000 people since its so-called ceasefire, and fired 335 bullets into a car carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab.

And when it comes to consequences, world leaders offer carefully worded statements that don't even amount to a slap on the wrist.

Here in the US, establishment Democrats and Republicans alike have shielded Netanyahu from prosecution for his crimes and sent over $21bn of our tax dollars in just two years to fund Israeli bombs.

The Biden and Trump administrations both obscured evidence, lied about what Israel was doing in Gaza, funded the carnage, and isolated and arrested people that spoke out against it. Just last week, the Trump administration proposed a $2.8bn weapons sale to Israel including 2,000lb bombs.

New Yorkers refuse to be silent. That's why today's civil disobedience, led by Jewish Voice for Peace, NYC-DSA, Sunrise Movement, CAAAV, Palestinian Youth Movement, Adalah Justice Project, the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights and more had 400 participants including more than 100 people arrested to demand an end to this injustice.

OR WILL I ANNIHILATE IRAN

-TRUMP

IS THIS WHAT BRINGING GAS PRICES DOWN LOOKS LIKE?Trump's speech at the UN General Assembly was the undignified ravings of a war criminal. His ultimatum to Iran was the latest desperate ploy to reverse an illegal and failed war that Americans continue to pay for against their will.Trump also threatened to dismantle the International Criminal Court, seeking to intimidate those who prosecute Israeli war criminals for their crimes against humanity. It is the same body that would bring him to justice for his complicity in the genocide and many other violations of international law.DSA stands proudly against imperialism and will use every avenue to achieve a total arms embargo against Israel, the end of war with Iran, and the end of interference in Latin America, including the cruel and illegal embargo on Cuba.

Workers deserve more than Trump's unilateral foreign policy and only socialism will deliver it.
