DSA is proud to endorse State Rep Dylan Wegela for his reelection. Our comrade Dylan is running because Workers Deserve More from the Michigan State House. He understands that a better world is possible and is committed to fighting that better world.

DSA endorses our comrade Nolan Southerland for Burbank City Council. A 16-year member of IATSE Local 700, the Motion Picture Editors Guild, a win for Nolan could tip the Burbank City Council to be a socialist majority.

We endorse Nate Adams to represent District 2 on Oakland’s City Council! Nate is a long time DSA member who served comrades as co-chair of @DSAEastBay, stood up to criminal landlords, and seen first hand how the greed of capitalists keeps innocent people hungry and unhoused.

DSA is proud to endorse @dsa.la member Angela Gonzales-Torres for Congress. Gonzales-Torres’s congressional agenda takes up an arms embargo on Israel, labor protections, Medicare for All and abolishing ICE.

DSA endorses @austindsa.bsky.social comrade Misael Ramos in the race to represent District 1 on Austin’s City Council. The President of the historic Rogers Washington-Holy Cross Neighborhood, Misael is also an accomplished community/union organizer and advocate for housing justice and public transit

DSA backs Ashley Herrmann in her race to represent Florida's 69th District! In a state that has a history of being notoriously hostile to organizers of the working class, socialists like Ashley stand strong and we stand with her!

DSA is proud to endorse our comrade Robert Hunter in his race for the Alabama State House! Robert is a founding member of North Alabama DSA and an organizer with an impressive organizing record!❤️

‼️ALL OUT IN NYC! WAR CRIMINALS NOT WELCOME HERE!‼️ Genocidal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting New York City to speak at the UN General Assembly this week. 🧵

this is a genuinely crazy story

This merger should’ve been blocked. Instead, it will concentrate American media under Trump-aligned billionaires, threaten thousands of jobs, and give the ultra-rich even more power. Our economy and democracy pay the price when power is concentrated in the hands of a few.

Mike Rogers was a leading advocate for boosting opioid prescriptions. He took over $1M from Big Pharma. He has always prioritized personal profit over the health and safety of Michiganders. That's not public safety. Watch our new ad, "Safe."

I got two daughters, they're 8 and 3. And I know everything I do is gonna shape the world they grow up in. But everything you do is gonna shape the world they grow up in."

When is someone going to investigate the real fraud in our govt? The big fraud?

Stunning and historic result in the Gordon and Denton parliamentary by-election in the UK. The anti-genocide Green Party led by Zack Polanski has won the seat from Keir Starmer's governing Labour Party. Nigel Farage's Reform UK and its odious candidate Matt Goodwin beaten.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

But yeah, by all means, interrogate Hillary 🙄

Two Russian women or two Russian girls? 🤔 Bill Gates now says his Epstein relationship was a “huge mistake.” He even admitted to affairs with two Russian women, while insisting he never saw any criminal activity.

Didn’t watch but I’m sure it went something like this

This guy gets it.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek is trying to expand the state’s already massive tax breaks for data centers. Data center companies are already saving nearly $500,000,000 in local property taxes this year in Oregon. Now the Governor wants to double key tax breaks from 5 years to 10.

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. (Published 2022)

NEW: If Attorney General Pam Bondi’s team wins this case, thousands of immigrant moms and dads could be exposed to deportation for minor involvement in the juvenile court system, a new realm for President Trump’s deportation regime.

🚨Trump's ICE Covered Up the MURDER of a Fourth U.S. Citizen for nearly a year—and with the help of Texas, seems to be burying video evidence. Via @jordanchariton.bsky.social www.statuscoupsubstack.com/p/trumps-ice...

"The President Must Be Removed From Office" Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit. zeteo.com/p/time-for-t...

“By declining the State of the Union visit, the US Women’s Hockey Team’s polite 'no thanks' says more than any corporation, or tech billionaire, or media company is willing to say. Amid so much cowardice, it’s those who stood up who will be remembered…

Someone asked if I’d be watching the State of the Union

“Today, the people of Merrimack and all of New Hampshire proved that organized, local voices are more powerful than a federal agency’s ruthless expansion,” she said. “This is a victory for us and all of New England but it is not the end of the fight.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/24/m...

NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon rules to prevent the release of former special counsel Jack Smith's report into Trump's alleged mishandling of classified government documents www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.

"Why aren't reporters asking whether the president has the legal right to launch another Middle Eastern war?" From my Zeteo piece/newsletter today: zeteo.com/p/an-illegal...

A reminder that no matter how many videos of ICE abuses appear online, a chunk of America, a big chunk of Trump’s base, is not just totally fine with it, they want it, enjoy it, revel in it. The cruelty is indeed the point. The rest of us non-sociopaths need to reckon with that depressing reality.

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.   You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope" (John Barron is a pseudonym Trump has used for himself when talking to journalists)
