I bet if you ask those 400,000 “leftists” to define socialism you’ll mostly get some variant of the New Deal. How many of these people are willing to interrogate the source of the US Reich’s imperial superprofits?
The idea that "DSA co-opted socialist energy into the Dems" is always funny There was no meaningful socialist movement before 2016 (Bernie)! The left was dead for 40 years. Socialism is more popular now than ever in US history. If you can't organize in this environment, NGMI.

Council just passed an impossible mandate that can only be attempted with immediate violence on homeless people across the city. Mayor Chow was absent for this entire debate. She's at a Police Gala tonight.

Now hear this: 1. Old City Hall is ugly. 2. New City Hall is awesome.
This is one of the worst architectural downgrades of all time. The construction and design of New City Hall in the 1950s symbolized Toronto's break with tradition, as stated by the City of Toronto's own website. It was the end of "Toronto The Good" and the start of the modern,

“I bet you’d LOVE to deface this monument to a Waffen SS Division!” is a pretty weird dunk

walkable to what? the other identical houses???? this makes no sense and it's hideous
This is exactly the approach we have when building new communities. Design and walkability is of the utmost importance.

The desire to be governed out of a generic gingerbread house instead of a purposefully commissioned product of an international design competition is a character flaw.

People romanticize the mafia but it was always this. These guys fed like parasites on workers and broke strikes for bosses. In Sicily, communists drove them out of villages after the war. On New York docks, socialist-led unions pushed gangsters off piers.
COSA NOSTRA of my era - 60’s, 70’s, 80’s…. Would NOT be happy with Mamdani as Mayor! Cosa Nostra is not Marxist or socialist. We would have not allowed him to be elected. Agree? Disagree? Weigh in!!

Social democracy cannot serve as a true alternative to capitalism. It appears attractive on the surface but is built upon deep contradictions that eventually collapse under their own weight. At its core, social democracy seeks a balance between capitalist profit motives and

New footage shows armed Israeli settlers in Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, draining a Palestinian family’s water tank, wasting the water and blocking their livestock from drinking the water as well.

The “everybody is twelve now” theory of architecture
Great call by Scots College Sydney replacing its modernist monster of a library with a building in Scottish baronial style. Increasingly around the world, people are defying the modern architecture lobby with traditional designs that most people prefer. https://t.co/hYpV1rASoK

This you speaking in support of Israel & posing with what looks like the flag of their military? You don’t just focus on foreign issues--you speak at rallies. Glad Mayor Chow has now joined scholars & human rights orgs calling Israel’s actions in Gaza what they are: genocide.
Ward 19 Councillor Brad Bradford told the Sun that Chow should focus on issues impacting her city instead of foreign affairs. “I wish Mayor Chow was telling people what she would do to ensure the safety of everyone in Toronto, rather than weighing in on a conflict thousands of
