Yinz like socialism n'at?๐น Local chapter of @DemSocialists in the Steel City. Help rebuild socialism in the Rust Belt!
Joined November 2016
police taking selfies with them aren't "bad apples". the root policing as an institution is white supremacy. fascists violently storming the capitol with guns, nazi flags, and confederate flags are fruit of the same tree as police taking selfies with them.

PSA: everyone who hasn't yet supported @BernieSanders is welcome to start. We're in a beautiful moment where the most electable candidate is unapologetically fighting for the working class and believes in the power of movements. Join us.

A better world is possible. A better world is possible. A better world is possible. A better world is possible. A better world is possible. A better world is possible. We can build a world where we don't have to beg politicians not to rob, starve, or kill us every few weeks.

Only 5 months ago, a white supremacist walked through the front doors of Pittsburghโs Tree of Life Synagogue and murdered 11 people. White supremacists are terrorists: an active threat to our communities. Solidarity with Muslims all over the world. Solidarity against fascism.

Our Socialist Feminist Committee is outside TWO fake clinics today to call them out as anti-choice, and provide people with resources to real reproductive healthcare facilities. People deserve the facts โ and the healthcare they need, when they need it. #ExposeFakeClinics

โIf her connections with DSA were questioned, Lee said, her response would be simple, too. "I would ask, 'How did capitalism work for you? Because I can tell you in my community it's not working. Capitalism works on the back of my community.โ .

A big part of socialism is doing what you can to help make your community healthier, happier, and safer. We believe that in the richest country in the world, nobody should go hungry. Our chapter's Free Pantry has been restocked with pet and human food alike! ๐๐ฝ๐ฅซ

Pennsylvania has over a 1000 bridges classified as structurally deficient. Over six years, $4.2 billion that could have helped fix those bridges has instead gone to State Police. We need safe transport, not murderous police.

For hours, Pittsburgh police broke comradesโ bones with cavalry charges, tear gassed someone whoโs pregnant, gassed medics trying to help people shot by rubber bullets, trapped protesters with military-grade equipment and threatened lethal force against still peaceful protesters*.
For 2+ hours thousands of Pittsburghers Marched against Injustice, for building a better city, for the critical changes necessary to change our country. Then. their March for Justice was hijacked by a group of 100+ Anarchists - focused only on violence.

BREAKING: "63% of Pittsburgh voters support the referendum, including 70% of registered Democrats and 75% of people between the ages of 18 and 35". #NoWarCrimesOnOurDime is wildly popular. The attempts to take it off the ballot are deeply anti-democratic.

The #TrumpAddress got one thing right: There is a crisis at the border. But it's not the people crossing the border. The crisis is the existence of Border Patrol & ICE. The crisis is the violence against immigrants & the detention centers. All the walls have got to go.

Just so we're all clear:. Sen. Casey, Sen. Fetterman, Mayor Gainey, Controller Heisler, & the Jewish Federation of Pittsburgh all allied with the lawyers that tried to overturn the PA election results for Trump in 2020, in an attempt to overturn a voter referendum's ballot access.
