Hi! I’m running this project.
There are millions of trans Americans, we poll 90% left-wing, our rights are under attack, & public opinion is on our side. But we need somewhere to organize that energy.
I believe DSA is the best-equipped org in the US to do it. Here’s why 🧵
Trans and abortion rights are the front lines of the fight against the far right and for working class liberation.
That's why this year, Trans Rights & Bodily Autonomy will join Labor and Climate work as national priorities for DSA.
Join us on Feb 3 ⬇️

This is the woman who filibustered the entire legislative session to stop anti-trans legislation. It’s not a moderate thing — she explicitly identifies as left — it’s that the democratic party is, in her words, “ideologically bankrupt”.
One of Nebraska’s most high-profile Democrats has left the party.
“The parties are not the future,” Sen. Megan Hunt said.

She was killed IN the police gunfight, BY the police. Her kidnapper is alive. They turned a kidnapping into a police murder by repeatedly and unnecessarily escalating the situation. No government should tolerate this — these cops should be fired and thrown in jail.

This is the second Nebraska state senator to promise to filibuster the entire session over an anti trans bill. Both her and Machaela Canavaugh have transgender children who would be forcibly detransitioned if it passes.

The fact that this battle over how the New York Times covers transgender americans is being waged along union vs anti-union lines explains everything you need to know about me. Solidarity is a survival tactic
“We are journalists, not activists”
Dozens of NYT journalists signed a letter objecting to the union’s support of criticism of the paper’s trans reporting. “We ask that our union work to advance, not erode, our journalistic independence,” they wrote

DSA is not a perfect org. But it is 80k people, in 48 states, with 200 elected officials spanning every level of government. And it knows how to fight.
It has power, and is probably the largest organized group of unwaveringly pro-trans people in America. We need to use that.

Almost all tenant lawmakers support tenant rights legislation, most non-tenant lawmakers don’t. We should elect more tenants 👁️
NEW: Why didn't lawmakers tackle the rent crisis? Maybe because most of them don't rent themselves.
Lawmakers who own their homes are far less likely to support eviction protections and new housing supply than those who rent, we found.

check out this thread, the Zapatistas are no joke. They staged an uprising in 1994 and have maintained an autonomous society since then, one where “the people give the orders and the government obeys”. spiritual connection to land and things it bears are a key aspect of this, btw
The 300,000+ indigenous Mayans who make up the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities (MAREZ) in Chiapas, Mexico have one of the most advanced systems of democratic, consensus-based governance in the world.
Here are some clips from “People Without Faces” (2016) that explain.

Trans people are 1% of the population, but we need social & medical rights in a democracy. We can't secure that on our own.
We need cis people, and they need a reason to side with us. Socialist politics are founded on giving them that reason: solidarity.
If you're trans, we want you to know that you are loved. You are worth defending.
Socialists believe an injury to one is an injury to all — that means we're in this together. With nearly 100k members, 150+ chapters, and 200+ elected officials, DSA is ready to fight for you 🏳️⚧️🌹

Insane to cut over 1/3 of org staff without touching political leader pay, dues share, or programs/ops. It’s the worst boss behavior and how you rob an institution of its soul. It would kill our organizing & tech capacity — the things we pay dues to build. They should pull this.

This video of a cop saying “we’re union as well” while breaking up a union picket is the perfect encapsulation of why police can’t be grouped in with normal workers. They serve the unique role of crushing labor actions on behalf of bosses/owners.
Cornell called the police on students who were selling coffee outside the dining hall to raise money for striking Starbucks workers.
Workers and students are protesting the company's decision to shut down all their stores in Ithaca — all of which are unionized.
