I’m writing this as thousands of DSA members are doing GOTV canvassing in New Hampshire or other early primary states or making turnout calls as volunteers from across the country. Still more are canvassing locally as part of DSA for Bernie independent expenditure work through their chapters. Others are pushing Medicare for All, labor union,…
The last week has been a roller coaster. Many of us have breathed a slight sigh of relief as things deescalate a bit around Iran. But this doesn’t mean it’s over. Far from it.

I’m here because I want to win. I bet you are too. And when we have a cruel president who is above the law, like the kings of old, when the naked struggle for power becomes an open spectacle, we have to remind ourselves who ended the divine right of kings: We, the people. If…
In the last few weeks, we’ve seen our future. Bahamian refugees who lost everything in the hurricane were turned back by Republican politicians. Families who lost people to the manufactured opioid epidemic saw paltry results in the Sackler OxyContin lawsuit. Trump’s trade war with China continues to devastate US farmers already suffering from record floods.…
WOW! I cannot believe we are three weeks out from the convention! It went by so fast as we continue to work on post convention tasks and also pick up the projects we set aside the last few months when we were in the home stretch. But I never forget that the internal work we…
