1/ Today, Chi Ossé was brutally arrested while defending his constituent Carmella Charrington and her family from an eviction in Bed-Stuy. A sitting councilmember and a Socialist in Office put his body on the line alongside his community and was met with police violence. He has now been released.
9/ Today in Bed-Stuy showed both sides clearly: A system willing to remove families from their homes and a community willing to fight back. We know which side we’re on. Solidarity with Carmella, Chi, and everyone resisting displacement!

Happy birthday to Vladimir Lenin, who recognized that only the working class could win democracy and represent the political aspirations of all oppressed peoples and classes.
Reform & Revolution shares MUG’s solidarity with NoMore24 and the courageous home care workers on hunger strike. We urge the NYC-DSA CLC to vote for the resolution in support of this fight for the rights of these deeply exploited workers on Saturday!

Council Member Chi Ossé was just arrested while defending his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from eviction. This is the result of deed theft and the ongoing displacement of Black homeowners in Bed-Stuy.
SOLIDARITY WITH CHI OSSÉ!
While i am tempermentally opposed to gerrymandering and think its emblematic of how our system is not democratic...
...on a purely tactical level its pretty great for socialists because it tends to create good districts for us.
Historically, the unions that have experience engaging in the political and economic struggle are the ones who stay in the fight the longest, the ones who are willing to lose the most to win, and the ones who win the struggle. That is what a marxist means by the vanguard.
I think people have been a bit poisoned by debate around the vanguard. The vanguard is just the most class-conscious workers. A particularly militant union can be a part of the "vanguard". When we speak of the vanguard "leading" the revolution, it's not formal, coercive leadership. It's by example!
The revolutionary vanguard will be none other than the working class. Anyone who takes the position that the vanguard exists *above* society, rather than as a portion of the people, is not taking a serious position and should educate themselves.
When you think of it, race is fascist and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper communist movement should seek to abolish it.
It's crazy how many states where the demand of "a working class wage for representatives" is a pay raise
Refuse to comment on the hasan discourse besides saying its funny to paint him as a radical ultraleftist when he's like, groundwork
Being right, unfortunately, is not a substitute for tactics.
Disastrously incompetent party leader who embezzled from the party and advanced the doctrine of social fascism, leading to the obliteration of the communist party in Germany. Many lessons to be learned from him, few that he would have agreed with.
Congrats to the sparts on going woke and no longer opposing the age of consent
Sort of inherent in being a leftist! From a PR perspective, identifying as a socialist has historically been pretty bad. Part of doing politics is changing that.
Everyone thinks its cringe at first and then you find yourself using it completely unthinkingly. This is the inevitable cycle of the DSA member. And why not? It's an accurate word and our enemies will call us communists no matter what!
I can’t believe I’m writing this, but today is one of the greatest moments in baseball history history. It’s the 19th anniversary of the Fenway Pizza Throw featuring Don Orsillo and the late Jerry Remy with a guy who wasted a piece of cheese pizza.
Can't have a militant group without a group!
A headline that reads "Yankees Return Rule 5 Pick Cade Winquest to Cardinals"
hopefully the return of a political prisoner will help ease tensions in the U.S./Vatican cold war
Advocating for a no consequence position when there are no consequences (because you aren't in power) is easy. We should recognize this as not even really meeting the bar of a truly liberal zionist position.
I agree, but by adopting a framework of self-sufficiency (and, essentially, lying about it), it provides the permission structure for restarting that support and puts the position on shaky ground. As you said, it's magical thinking: it's entirely predicated on the non-existence of consequences.
It's also important to note the rhetoric that J-street is using on this, however, which is that Netanyahu thinks Israel should not rely on aid and wants to do away with it anyway. x.com/JeremyBenAmi...
This is a far larger concern than electability, which is a factor only in the minds of pundits and deeply invested political nerds, neither of whom will be a serious base for an AOC run. AOC will either be elected, or not elected, on her ability to message and unify opposition to fascism.
I have 100 followers so I don't know why you'd think this is the case. But in any case, the biggest hurdle AOC has to face is the opposition of capital, which will spend billions of dollars to oppose the election of an open socialist and at every opportunity pressure her to water down her message.
