Every DSA member in congress has voted, against DSA'S official position, for tens of billions of dollars in arms for an imperialist proxy war.
Now the Congressional Progressive Caucus retracts its weak criticism of US policy in Ukraine after only a day.
Jayapal: “The Congressional Progressive Caucus hereby withdraws its recent letter to the White House regarding Ukraine.”

A spectre haunts the National Review this Halloween
The DSA as a radical left-wing political force has achieved a level of penetration into the Democratic Party, including among prominent elected officials, that no radical-right organization even comes close to matching. | Robert Stilson

Socialists don't vote for state intervention against the workers movement.
We need to radically rethink the political approach that's gotten us here and start to act like a real opposition party, not imagine that when the capitalist Democratic Party is in power, we somehow are.

MUG condemns Professor Isserman’s categorization of us and other DSA comrades as sectarian entryists. Our goal is to forge DSA into a mass socialist party united around the advanced section of the class. Standing firm against Zionist colonialism is key to that vision.
Concern for Palestine, entirely legitimate in itself, furnished a convenient stick for DSA’s new sectarian leadership to beat the group’s moderate wing if they weren’t willing to embrace the most extreme positions on the Palestinian question.

🧵Daniel Ellsberg faced over a century in prison for revealing the machinations of the US empire. Today, whistleblowers continue to be ruthlessly pursued. There’s no freedom of the press, nor are the inner workings of government accessible, intelligible, or accountable.
Daniel Ellsberg dies at 92. He leaked the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Vietnam War history, in 1971.
The former Defense Department official hoped giving newspapers the 7,000-page document would end the conflict.

Socialism and progressivism are different political trends that represent the interests of different classes. Socialists in congress should organize a caucus separately from progressives and the Democratic caucus entirely in order to advance an independent working class program
As the Whip of the Progressive caucus, I want to remind folks
@RepJeffries

@RepKClark
are active members of CPC who are running for the top two leadership positions of the Dem caucus.

That the people of Ohio had to overturn the abortion ban themselves shows how unrepresentative our political institutions are. We need to defend against conservative schemes like this one by going on the offensive to win the battle for a truly democratic political system.
Direct democracy should not exist. Case-in-point: Ohio legalizing the slaughter of babies.
It would be an act of courage to ignore the results of the election and not allow for the murder of Ohio babies.
We are probably 10 years away from this opinion being acceptable though.

Matthew Kacsmaryk’s decision claiming to overrule the FDA’s approval of abortion drug mifepristone—23 years late—is an appalling and indefensible abuse of power that will go down in history as one of the judiciary’s most humiliating and lawless moments.
