Zohran Mamdani on CBS β€” β€œSocialist politics can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country, and that is the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what we’re doing, not in the appendix.”

America’s Mayor can’t miss.

This is the wildest start to a city council meeting. Just personalized attacks all around to a bunch of city councilors.

Everyone knows the economy is doing great. I dont know why homelessness is up and a record number of people are working 2 jobs, but that has nothing to do with the economy. The economy is a chart with a line going up, not that other shit. Grow up

This isnt a surprise. It shouldnt dull our fury though. Amazon does this precisely because they always put profits over people. Its systemic not an aberration.

GOVERNOR IS A FAIR-WEATHER FRIEND TO LABOR
Willamette Week's coverage of the strike-ending tentative agreement for faculty and academic professionals at Portland Community College [Murmurs, April 1] implies Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek stepped in to end the strike based on her benevolent attitude toward the strikers.
Instead, it was clear that the resolve of strikers to extend their strike, the looming strike at Central Oregon Community College, and Kotek's own election ambitions were the motivation for the
governor.

SUPPORT GOVERNOR IS A FAIR-WEATHER FRIEND TO LABOR Willamette Week's coverage of the strike-ending tentative agreement for faculty and academic professionals at Portland Community College [Murmurs, April 1] implies Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek stepped in to end the strike based on her benevolent attitude toward the strikers. Instead, it was clear that the resolve of strikers to extend their strike, the looming strike at Central Oregon Community College, and Kotek's own election ambitions were the motivation for the governor.

Kotek's public involvement in the PCC strike is a pivot from her past disinterest in the fate of Oregon's workers, including the extended strikes of the Oregon Nurses Association at Providence hospitals in 2025 and the Portland Association of Teachers (PAT) strike at Portland Public Schools in 2023. In those strikes, the governor was mostly AWOL. The consequence? PAT's statewide affiliate, the Oregon Education Association, chose not to endorse the governor this go-around.

Workers would be wise to time their future
strikes during the gubernatorial campaign season, or else they should not anticipate her help.

Portland DSA members Gabe E. and Christopher Z.B. submitted an op ed in @wweek.com arguing that Governor Tina Kotek (@tinakotek.bsky.social) is a fair-weather friend to labor.

In addition to the red scare coming out of the White House (executive orders declaring DSA members terrorists, increased police repression, & malicious prosecutions), there's also a red scare coming from inside the house of labor.

Long-time labor bureaucrats are threatened by a rise in militancy.

Kotek gets to sign these, but I want to thank @chaichiforor.bsky.social for fighting for and passing the federal officer mask ban. If not for house reps like her we would still be Thinking & Praying about it.

Zohran Mamdani and the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection have announced a "Click to Cancel" rule.

The rule would make NYC the first city in the nation to ban subscription traps and force companies to make it just as easy to cancel subscriptions as it is to enroll.

War in Iran is costing billions while working class Americans can't afford our basic needs.

US imperialism has destabilized Haiti, Cuba, Iran, and more.

It is our responsibility to struggle for peace and a socialist future at home.

Join @chaichiforor.bsky.social & DSA to fight back!

Zohrans campaign really focused in on key campaign deliverables "freeze the rent" "make busses fast and free" and "tax the rich" is that what you intend to pursue?

Sorry your neighbors are organized! Whine harder

Why is it that when white people call out racism they get praised but if we defend ourselves or each other we are argumentative, rude, or β€œrace baiting”?

We know why, but I don’t want to see the praise while I get called angry and combative.

Serial harasser and bigot Brian Owendoff is back in the news today. πŸ‘‡

Owendoff’s antics and lack of self control have given us a glimpse into the right wing networks that work behind the scenes to keep the rich and powerful in control.

Also, when will Dan Ryan release his texts with Owendoff?

Everything is so insane.

I’m really impressed by folks who are showing up for their comrades and the broader movement despite bad/terrifying news coming at such a destabilizing rhythm.

Ask for help and grace right now.

The problems are too big to take on alone and people want to help.
