In a context of the reactionary administration of Trump and the pardoning of Eric Adams, radicalized New Yorkers are searching for alternatives from the Republicans, Democrats and a government for the rich. This search gives the Zohran Mamdani mayoral campaign its political momentum.

He’s the first Muslim mayoral candidate, a first-generation immigrant with youthful fire, a Democratic Socialist who publicly condemned the border tsar Tom Homan and is presenting a progressive program that includes rent freezes. However, under the Democratic Party, he’s not presenting a program of class struggle and movement building. That, along with other limitations, is why I won’t vote for him. I believe instead, we must take steps to build a political alternative from the Democrats; a party for the working class and oppressed that fights for socialism.

There are attacks on labor with the firing of federal employees. Conjoined attacks on education and the Pro-Palestine movement. Attacks on free speech as we’re forced to witness a genocide. Trump is escalating the attacks of a repressive onslaught started by the Democrats.

Love to see the Finns Party (nationalists) eat shit even in this minor election

”Of course this is a failure,” said [Finns] party leader Riikka Purra, who is also the Finance Minister. ”The numbers are terrible, and there's no explaining them away.”

Early votes are still incoming and may narrow this margin, but so far it's looking very good for Alex Brower, the DSA candidate for Milwaukee City Council

dems are cookeder than any political party has been in america in two lifetimes

Don’t know a lot about them, but they’ve been all over my feed for the past week.

between this and the intra-day tariff chart, i don't know which is more ridiculous

Kind of going on an organization kick rn, and it’s actually pretty interesting on how back in the day, unions also served as community hubs similar to churches.

I want to go to a DSA meeting soon and see how I vibe, because as much as we may all lament the loss of community. I think it’s important for the left to learn how to build one, because the fascists most certainly have.

My Rep. is a total CHUD but I’m still going to write him. I’m not going to mention any ideology, but focus on the Mahmoud Khalil has not been accused of any actual crime, and the people who called for his detention (Shai Davidai etc.) are acting under the orders of a foreign power and are complete snowflakes.

Meet the new head of the DNC.

Watch the video on Ken Klip's page to just hear the sound bite, then look at fun excerpt from Salon which is still a lib rag:

Martin went on to say that it’s important for voters to feel like “we’re not taking money from the people that are working against them,” adding: “There are a number of billionaires in this country that have no interest in helping the working class in this country.” Asked who, specifically, he would not take money from, Martin said: “There’s too many to name.”

“There are a lot of good billionaires out there that have been with Democrats, who share our values, and we will take their money, but we’re not taking money from those bad billionaires,” Martin said.

Wikler responded to the question by saying: “We’re not going to take money from people who are actively union busting. We’re not going to take money from the people who funded Stop the Steal.” He added, “If they try to donate we’re going to send that money back.”

When the whole panel was asked whether any of the candidates would support a blanket ban on campaign contributions from tech executives — the same class of billionaires mentioned by former President Joe Biden in his farewell address as forming an American oligarchy — none of the candidates would commit.

Now for a fun excerpt from Da Hill which is a blue stenographer for power and doesn't question anything:

Martin said in an interview with The Hill last year that he saw a multi-faceted role for the DNC amid a second Trump administration — both resisting “the really extremes and excesses of the Trump administration” and defining the Democrats’ priorities.

“You have to give people a sense of who you are and who the party is, who we’re fighting for, and why and that means, you know, if we’re focused the whole time on just resisting Trump, we’re not giving people a sense of who we are and why they should support us,” Martin told The Hill.

Other Democrats agree that the party cannot be in resistance mode all the time.

“There’s a big difference between being the political opposition party and just pure resistance,” former Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) told The Hill.

They're trying to sell "bipartisanship" as "standing for something" (pretending they "hear you, see you") by saying that they cannot be "da #resistance" but they have to be an "opposition party" which they are classically not.

As a treat enjoy this Ryan Grim prediction / quote-Tweet where Wikler laid out out his platform of austerity for the DNC consultant class.

they're bad folks
