Just because the Democratic Party has repeatedly failed to put up a meaningful opposition to fascism doesnāt mean we should give up fighting as hard as we can to force their action. Abolish ICE. Prosecute. This is the bare minimum and an absolute emergency.
@kenklippenstein This is incorrect. Congress has not yet renewed ICEās budget. House voted but Senate hasnāt yet. They need 10 Dem votes in the Senate. We can still stop it

We must abolish ICE. They serve no purpose other than bringing violence and fear to our communities. We cannot allow these daily horrors to continue.

Thatās the DSA difference. Anyone can claim to be progressive but having a movement to back you up and hold you accountable, a multiracial working-class socialist movement, means a DSA elected is bigger than their one office. This is how we make true affordability a reality!

Made a map of the local NYC-DSA races that are fighting for universal childcare and an affordable NY. Great way to join up with local democrat socialists in your neighborhood and join the movement Zohran is part of!

From Brooklyn Navy Yard to Hudson River Park Trust, all contracts that allow ICE to operate or do business on city-owned land must be terminated. Our city cannot and will not be complicit in the Trump administrationās kidnapping of our neighbors.
The Trump administration paid Hudson River Park Trust nearly $170,000 last year, in a contract that lets federal ICE agents park their unmarked vans at Pier 40 https://t.co/OcRXbW50P0

If NewYork-Presbyterian can afford to give its CEO $26.4 million, if Mount Sinai can spend $100 million on an AI center, if Montefiore can give its CEO $16 million, these hospitals can afford to treat nurses with respect. I strongly support the 15,000 nurses on strike in NYC.

Our electeds were inAlbany for the first session of the state assembly rallying for child care and taxing the rich to get it. Last week, @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor announced major expansions to public child careāproof that our pressure is working. But we havenāt won yet.

As Jews, we strongly object to the use of synagogues to enable the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes. That events supporting the theft of Palestinian land, in full violation of international law, are occurring at all is unconscionable. That they are occurring in our

ICE kidnaps our neighbors and murders protestors in cold blood. We donāt want these fascist thugs anywhere near our communities so letās get out on the street and say so. We will not be intimidated! Join me at Foley Square tonight!

Trumpās bombing of Caracas is happening for one reason: to enrich the billionaire class. The same class he serves when he guts workers' rights and throws millions off of healthcare. He's pursuing regime change because Venezuela holds the largest oil reserves, pure and simple.

NO BLOOD FOR OIL! We've seen this movie before. Somehow there's never money for SNAP or healthcare but itās always there for jets and bombs. Whether in Venezuela, Iraq, Congo or many other Black and brown nations. NYCās working people have had enough. No war with Venezuela!

I was proud to rank all of these candidates highly! We need experienced leaders on the NEC who have managed campaigns, ran for office themselves, and led their chapterās electoral teams if we want to capture the energy of this moment and run winning socialist campaigns this year!
Congratulations to the 5 new SMC NEC SC members: Kate Logan, Lazar Bloch, Sam Klein, Sarah Fiore, and William O'Dwyer!! These 5 members are going to work to ensure DSA's NEC seizes the moment and is the effective, ambitious, and responsive national body our chapters deserve.š³
