Don't listen to anyone saying "humans are the virus." That's ecofascism. It's our *system* that needs to change. And that system has a name: capitalism.
You're "just not that into politics?"
Your boss is.
Your landlord is.
Your insurance company is.
And every day they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise your rent, and deny you coverage.
Its time to get into politics.

speaking at presser with CBC: Thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice...Because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous for justice.
Something infectious is spreading through the work force. Its symptoms present in a spate of two-week notices. Its transmission is visible in real time. And few bosses seem to know how to inoculate their staff against this quitagion.
If you think this Reddit/GameStop stuff seems extremely confusing and complicated, you’re right!
The stock market is capitalism - it is designed to make a small group of people very rich. It isn’t natural or simple! There is no divine free hand of the market.
It’s all a scam!
I believe in democracy. I believe in a free press. I believe in open debate. I love it when my newspaper prints pieces I disagree with. It causes me to think.
Here's the deal: Because President Trump refuses to concede and is delaying the transition, we have to fund it ourselves and need your help.
If you're able, chip in to help fund the Biden-Harris transition.

The fight to expand rent control in California is about people vs. money.
In our campaign against billionaire landlords, we've fought voter intimidation, rent gouging, and craven disinformation — but we know we can still win.

Eric Garcetti not only failed to make Los Angeles a city for all, build housing for homeless residents or improve transit, he also oversaw an era that saw wealth inequality skyrocket and housing become more unaffordable than it has ever been.
It's finally official! Congrats to our member

on her election to the LA City Council! Nithya represents the potential of a new kind of city council that cares for the wellbeing of all LA residents, not just the wealthy corporate class
Typically in the US, if you're more “liberal” then you're more left. But that's not how socialists use the word.
Liberals tend to only want to tweak capitalism. As if it's just misbehaving.
Socialists see capitalism as operating as designed and in need of replacement.
Mayor Eric Garcetti promised us housing solutions, instead he’s delivered a 150% increase in homelessness. He has no place serving as HUD Secretary or any other position on

On September 14th, voters will decide whether to recall and remove Gavin Newsom as governor.
As socialists, we are no huge fans of Governor Newsom. We'd prefer the option of replacing him with a socialist was on the ballot. However, this is not the election we're faced with.
Just learned that the San Diego office of our

This is an act of terror against the housing justice movement. This is class war & we will not be intimidated — we will fight & we will win
Los Angeles has led the nation in officer related shootings for two years in a row, and DA Jackie Lacey hasn’t done a damn thing about it. We stand with the families awaiting justice.

Los Angeles County has more than double the amount of residents then the whole state of Kentucky.
Stop blaming poor residents of Kentucky for Mitch McConnell. The Senate is undemocratic. It exists to protect capitalism.
Abolish the senate.
Los Angeles doesn't have to be hell on earth. 🔥
A better world is possible! But only if we elect Nithya Raman to City Council!

Pay even the slightest bit of attention to LA politics and you'll realize it's not the progressive promised land people pretend it is.
We have a lot of work to do.
