When your three cats (including a three legged cat) manage to extract the children's candy bag that had been tightly wedged in a kitchen nook and leave remnants of their debachery around the first floor

I am so proud to receive Philly DSA’s endorsement, the organization that has been my political and organizing home. The overwhelming support for my City Council At-Large Campaign has confirmed my belief that together, we can create the change we want to see in Philadelphia.

Dino Guastella and Damage have the magic formula: "patriotism over globalism, family duty over self-expression, and tradition over cosmopolitan sophistication." Insular philistinism—works for Trump! substack.com/inbox/post/2223…

She may be bad on Palestine and policing but at least she’s really good at defining socialism!
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist? "I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people." She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish police, prisons and the Senate. Interview via @InsidePolitics on @CNN

Zohran Mamdani launched his mayoral campaign two years ago today. @PeterSterne interviewed him at the time. And it's remarkable how decarceration has not been the mayor's focus, at all, in office.

Appreciate this answer from Angie Nixon on why she joined DSA. There is one opposition party in Florida and that’s DSA!

Nice.
John Reed, socialist journalist and author of “Ten Days That Shook the World” chronicling the Russian revolution, was born today in 1887.

“Too long have the workers of the world waited for some Moses to lead them out of bondage. He has not come; he never will come. I would not lead you out if I could; for if you could be led out, you could be led back again.” Eugene Debs.

Running a Democratic Socialist, working-class campaign is hard. You don’t have access to the same sources of campaign funds as establishment campaigns.  That's why we're celebrating Shawn's birthday at @nikkilopezphl as our first fundraiser! secure.actblue.com/donate/30…

Chris Rabb: “I’m a decarceration person, I believe the country that represents 5% of the world’s population, but 25% of the people put in cages is morally wrong, but I will make an exception for all of those fuckers who are lawless MAGA thugs who have destroyed lives and communities. Lock all of those fuckers up. If there are moms who are going to jail because they changed what school district they are so their kids could get a better education, you better believe a Jared Kushner should be experiencing some jail time”
