Met a May 68’er Columbia alum on the street trying to find a way in- “they won’t let me in because my student ID is expired” 😂😂
Asked him about the dean held hostage and he jumped/looked like he was holding back saying more while smirking then booked it. Love the old heads

Seeing pictures of Bernie speaking at the very same podium many of us in YDSA have spoken at in the CTU hall should feel touching and moving considering our history there and on his campaign. It hurts, actually. I’ll never look at him the same after this past year.

A big thing I don’t like is older comrades not having the patience for younger organizers in YDSA; seeing them as things to hold disdain for instead of people to understand. The same hubris they chide is reinforced by their own greater hubris. Why would anyone want to be near it?

AOC: People are saying it's cope or whatever. It's not cope. This is a moment of ambiguity. I'm not like a Biden campaign co-chair. I go out and I campaign for the president and I stump for the president, and I have done that because he is our Democratic nominee.

The notion that Israel is committing genocide or ethnic cleansing is a blood libel.
It is a dangerous lie intended to incite hatred for Israel as a Jewish State.
The kind of hatred that has driven extremists to celebrate, call for, or commit violence against Jews.

took a while for me to learn this, but the icebreaker should always be related to the meeting if you do them- what was the push that made you want to build a union, what is your biggest issue at work, is there anything insane/baffling your manager has done recently, etc
Somebody needs to break it to the people running meetings that for introverts ice breakers create more tension than they relieve.

It’s been insane watching the Stand Up strike UAW’s planned out. Just the energy of being able to hang fear of a credible strikes over the employer’s heads, shop-by-shop per bargaining-subject, then say fuck you and hit them hard when you need, is pretty sick imo
Per a Ford source, the union asked Ford this afternoon for a meeting at 5:30 p.m. today with a new economic counteroffer.
When Ford said it did not have one, Shawn Fain stood up & said “You just lost Kentucky Truck.”
The meeting took about 10 minutes.

Deeply disagree- the debates have stakes for non-voting members. It’s part and parcel to a vibrant, democratic organization. To think otherwise is to believe in a falsely lauded expertise of leaders- that only they do their work and we do ours, and accept that as a fixed reality

I actually don’t want to weigh in that much on Twitter, but the most awful aspects of this staff and budget proxy debate (aside from that it was engineered at such an awful time when UAW is striking at the Big 3) is how it prevents us from having a frank discussion abt a lot

When YDSA has brought the creation of real student unions and they hold the first ever nationally coordinated student strike, I’m going to pay for this graph to be printed onto a giant cake to celebrate. All ydsa’ers+alum who haven’t turned against the youth section are invited☺️
DSA came out of Sunday's NPC budget meeting with an unsustainable $1m deficit for 2024. SMC is committed to stabilizing DSA's budget and will continue to prioritize avoiding staff layoffs.

I think the primary question comes down to- do you think the working class has the capacity to change society and create a new form of class leadership or do you think it needs the “special “/ “talented” leadership of politicians

You can argue that they should be the first point of modifying behavior, but these are young people who’re new to politics & organizing. They need mentorship, support, and coaching. Doesn’t matter if you don’t like what they’re saying, they’re the future of socialist organization

The sharp contrast of neoliberalism to the right was seen in 2016 with Clinton against Trump, and amazingly so, socialism was posited as the only alternative that could solve the crises of society. We’re in a different moment, but it feels bad that this isn’t so pronounced today

Do I need to say more?
The student strike for Palestine is the moment of action that coheres long-term durable organization: the student union
Without action, cohering the union is largely an abstract task- we can debate the methodology of how we take action, but the strike is what we want to build to
