Federation Supreme Court legal drama. Case of the week style. Lots of commercial litigation about how to interpret standard weights and times of delivery for goods given relativity and different solar systems. All just oral arguments

Join Chicago DSA’s Labor Branch on April 3rd for Jobapalooza!! RSVP tinyurl.com/jobapalooza Jobapalooza will include several workplaces organizing a union, or organizing to boost and support existing union organizing. You will talk with people who want to get a job at the workplace to help organize
Well yes but the Supreme Court deciding that talk conversion therapy programs are viewpoints so strict scrutiny applies when banning them amounts to instruction to every circuit to carve out those programs from bans. What’s the survival rate under strict scrutiny, like 5-10% in speech cases?
The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Today! DSA 102 at Haymarket House! Build your socialism skills! Come by:
I’d argue it’s even a little worse, which is that they often believe the US working class isn’t constitutionally able to end capitalism and that global south breaking imperialism is a precondition to change—which is a recipe for organizational tailing and immobility domestically
My friend and I were talking the other day about some Marxist theorists use theory to justify their passivity (as in “eventually, the inevitable forces of history will achieve communism”) and also identified this type of third worldist thinking of an inert US working class as being similar to that

Let's remember what happened the last time Sara Nelson and the flight attendants decided to flex their muscles
This interview is notable because it contains the same hinting about flight attendants refusing to work if they think the system is not safe that we heard before the 2018 govt shutdown ended. No union workers are obligated to work in an unsafe environment.
Yeah, like in a vacuum the logic of citizens united isn’t really wrong (the type of organization you are shouldn’t so heavily factor into your speech rights) but we don’t live in a vacuum we live in a plutocracy. So long as that is true, every “rule of law” bends to benefit the rich.
virtually every main social ill we face right now is downstream from the fact that rich people have more money than they know what to do with. national security risk

The Solidarity Mural is an invaluable piece of our union’s history. When we sold the building in Chicago, we knew we had to rescue the mural. There were technical difficulties including some pieces that crumbled. Can we count on you to help us finish preserving this vital piece of UE’s history?

That means their other polling is ominous. There is a reckoning barely outside the view of the public that the political class is aware of, and I think it is going to explode into view soon, and the question is, will socialists be ready to capitalize on it, or will we be caught navel gazing?
Took a survey tonight that I'm pretty sure was for Chris Welch that seems to indicate that IL Democrats are at least starting to incorporate DSA-style policy demands into their strategy. Three questions mentioned the org specifically.

Lots to critique about Jesse Jackson but for at least a generation he was about the only loud progressive voice in visible politics, and his 1988 DNC speech can still move me to tears. youtu.be/6RCARIpVDLU
And this barn burner can’t not psyche you up. “He won by the margin of despair.” “As a matter of fact, we came here on a ‘foreign policy’” youtu.be/9Ol_BqU10IM
This is so horrible. The criminality and cruelty of this ruling class has to be answered with more ruthless cruelty if we’re ever going to end stories like this
Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

I get it, we can't get rid of capitalism or we'd lose its great innovations like the CSAM chat room, the suicide robot, the plagiarism machine, the doorbell snitch, the fake money generator, the self-immolating auto-car, the thing that puts ads in your ads, and the sex creep sunglasses. But still

Democratic Socialists of America — We are at 100,000 members! 🌹 dsausa.org/join
For real, QAnon dropping the ball on this when it was their whole purpose is like how Skype lost out to Zoom when the pandemic started
What the hell was Qanon doing? There really was/is an international child sex trafficking ring and they got almost none of the leaders of it right. Just a whole group of world-class stupid motherfuckers, man
