Woke up weepily inspired by the incredible work that is being done by DSA members and chapters across the country. While the capitalist parties collapse and/or decay, we're doing genuine democracy and building a real working class alternative. So proud to be your elected leader.

2 French billionaires snapped their fingers and raised $300,000,000 for the rebuilding of Notre Dame.
38,000 of us pledged what we could, ranging from $1 to $50,000, in order to raise $2,000,000 to rebuild a few black churches.
That’s what wealth inequality looks like.

I am not ungrateful for those rebuilding Notre Dame. I think it’s a priceless piece of architecture. But if it takes 38,000 people to raise 1% of what a couple of billionaires can scrape out of the couch cushions, we’ve got a bigger problem.

Cuba literally developed their own vaccines despite the barbaric US blockade. Lift the embargo TODAY and let them have the resources they need to mass-produce Soberana and Abdala, which are >90% effective. Can't tell other countries to step up when you have a boot on their neck.
To beat this pandemic, we have to vaccinate the world—and America is leading that effort.
We have shipped—for free—more vaccines to other countries than all other countries combined. Over 275 million vaccines to 110 countries.
Now, we need the rest of the world to step up.

The Opelousas Massacre took place in 1868. At least 300 black folks were murdered for attempting to register to vote. (Some estimates put it higher). In 1870, just TWO YEARS LATER, the Seventh District Missionary Baptist Association was formed in the same area.

Feel how the chasm grows? Okay, now do $1,000,000,000 (one billion). If $1,000 feels like that much more than $1, and $1,000,000 feels like that much more than $1,000, just try to imagine how impossible a billion really is. No one needs it.

Wait, let’s just do this experiment because it’s fun and good. Think about how far a leap it is to go from $1 to $1,000. It takes some time, right? If you’re trying to put it aside from your paycheck, depending on what you do or what you owe, it might take weeks/months/a year.

Most of us with regular jobs could get there, though, and even do occasionally, saving for a vacation or a piece of furniture. But now let’s make the same proportional leap - $1,000 to 1,000,000 (a million). How long would it take you to scrounge up $1,000,000?
