Don't underestimate AOC

What's Our Plan to Stop ICE From Stealing the Midterms? Waiting until November would be a disaster. Time to go on offense to ban ICE from polling places.

seems pretty clear that MAGA plans to disrupt the midterms by sending ICE agents to demand everybody waiting in voting lines provide proof of citizenship

blue states can legally ban this, but Dems have passed such a ban only in one state (New Mexico) so far

NYC friends, please post here your favorite personal memories and anecdotes about volunteering for and joining the events of Zohran's campaign

(Working on a new project about the campaign's social/belonging/fun dynamics, would love to include your stories)

Got subscriber number 10,000 to just now to my substack :) A big thanks to all of you who read and share it, it really means a lot to me

First I heard that Thomson Reuters employees were organizing against their company's complicity with ICE was when this NYT reporter called me to ask if I knew my research had sparked their effort 😭

Why is there no anti-war movement even though the war is very unpopular? Top reasons imo

1) Americans feel powerless
2) People are hoping the war ends quickly
3) Trump Is doing so many awful things
4) People confuse mobilizing w/ organizing
5) Sectarianism has helped marginalize anti-war activity

NCAA is sounding the alarm on a charter aircraft shortage for March Madness teams because ICE is using up the planes 👀

We Spend Almost a Trillion Yearly on War. That’s Insane. Cut the military budget in half. Bloated war spending remains a sacred cow for far too many

55% percent of House Democrats voted for the most recent military budget

Trump is setting the world on fire, but Democrats gave him the matches

ICE agents this morning apparently kidnapped a student after lying to get into a Columbia dorm

Shopping Isn’t a Strategy The goal of a boycott is not to make ourselves feel better. The goal is to make society better.

Like bowling, boycotting is best done together

I wrote this piece to share with your friends and family who think they're "doing their part" against ICE and Trump by not shopping at bad companies

Without an organized force outside the state capable of shifting the balance of class forces, even the best socialist or progressive politician will be hemmed in by capital

“A permanent political party must be formed to supply encouragement and active assistance to the current executive and his administration and to ensure that successive executives carry on the desired policies” — Daniel Hoan, Milwaukee's Socialist Mayor

Daniel Hoan, Milwaukee's Socialist mayor from 1916 through 1940, underscored in his book "City Government" that if other cities wanted to emulate Milwaukee’s success, electing “honest and competent men” was insufficient

Sewer socialism is not just about good governance and public services—it's about building (and leaning on) a powerful working-class political organization🧵

What does it *feel like* to build worker power?

Season two of Haymarket Originals is bringing you inside one of the most dynamic and inspiring organizing drives in the labor movement today. Heat The Ground Up is an oral history of Starbucks Workers United, voiced by the baristas who built it.

We’ve Had a Nationwide Immigrant Strike Before. We Can Do It Again. The 2006 “Day Without an Immigrant” offers urgent lessons for beating ICE today

On May 1, 2006, millions of immigrants defeated a horrific Republican immigration bill by taking to the streets and walking out of work

To defeat ICE today we should learn from this "Day Without an Immigrant"

It's pretty amazing (and ultimately lucky for us) how much they undercut the effectiveness of their already extremely racist policy through stuff like this and also by (needlessly, for their project) murdering white people. a bit more discipline would have made them harder to defeat

"The president has said that business officials are calling and complaining to him about longtime workers being thrown out of the country" - Wall Street Journal

Trump listens to billionaires, which is why we need to force billionaires to break with ICE

How has Minneapolis remained so non-violent in the face of Trump's horrific provocations?

JaNaé Bates Imari explained to @thedigradio.bsky.social how MN's deep progressive orgs set a tone of non-violent discipline for the movement as a whole

How to Build a Real General Strike Against ICE Minnesota shows what’s possible—here’s how we turn that spark into the kind of disruptive power that can actually stop ICE

Organizing a general strike requires three ingredients: momentum, organization, & militant, risk-tolerant leaders.

The proportions can vary, but until we have a sufficient combination of these factors, a general strike will remain a wish rather than a reality
