Socialist Party of America leader Eugene Debs died a century ago this week. In Light & Air, @overallsthinker Steven Raney argues that we can revive the dream Debs embodied for millions of people.

Your “revolution” was a bunch of land speculators annoyed that the British was limiting land expansion (due to the costs of intervention for them on the colonists behalf) and who proceeded to accelerate said genocidal settler colonialism. It created a class of white settlers who

Desperately need a WI Dem trifecta in Nov. I wonder: will the revival of this desiccated government lead to a Michigan-type trifecta or a Minnesota one? Fretful, milquetoast, afraid to chart a course adequate to repair 2 decades of GOP devastation? Or will they seize the moment?

First step to beating the far-right in Florida has been taken: unshackling the party from the center-right scammers who win statewide primaries bc of South Florida
Here we have the 2026 Florida Senate Democratic Primary by Congressional District! Nixon won 20 district while Vindman won 8 Several precincts are split by the district lines, so these raw numbers should be taken with a margin of error of a 200 or so votes. #flapol #flsen

BREAKING: Wealthy parents are paying upwards of $6,500 for southern sorority rush coaches. Rush coaches that specialize in SEC schools like University of Alabama, Auburn, and Ole Miss are seeing increased demand especially for out-of-state students from NJ, NY, and CT. Rush coaches charge $3,000 to $12,000+ and offer advice on securing outfits and auditing social media profiles.

The 371,000 people who pledged to Spirit 2.0 were not wrong about what aviation should be. They were handed too small a target. The task isn’t rescuing one airline. It is building the organized power capable of taking the whole system into public hands. reformandrevolution.org/2026…

Tomorrow the NPC will debate the format by which to determine DSA’s strategy for 2028. R&R is committed to a democratic, deliberative process and a mass campaign with an independent message to support a left wing candidate while criticizing their missteps when needed. 🧵

Our history books celebrate presidents, generals and billionaires. But how many Americans know about Eugene Debs? A labor leader, anti-war activist and champion of the working class, Debs helped shape this country. It's time we learned about him.

We want to expand democracy in every part of our lives. We want a true democracy. And we want to bring working people into the movement who had previously checked out of the political process.
