DSA is steadfast in expressing our solidarity with Palestine.
Today’s events are a direct result of Israel’s apartheid regime—a regime that receives billions in funding from the United States.
End the violence. End the Occupation. Free Palestine. 1/5
No grace period for the new President, we aren't easing off the pressure.
Now that you have the power, it is time to cancel ALL student debt

Bolivia’s former president, Evo Morales, returned to the country on Monday, a year after his failed attempt to keep power tore the nation apart and sent him into exile.
Joe Biden voted to allow pharmaceutical companies to price gouge. He voted to make it impossible to discharge student debt in bankruptcy. He works for capital, not for us.
The ruling class get rapid COVID tests so that they can have parties, while the working class are out at risk every day, and wait up to two weeks to get test results. This is class warfare.
While most of the U.S. waits 7 to 14 days for coronavirus test results, at some parties hosted by the wealthy in the Hamptons, expensive rapid tests that take less than 30 minutes are the price of admission
When the CEOs of Walmart, Walgreens, Target, and CVS are speaking behind the presidential seal... is it any wonder whose interests our system protects?
Pat Tillman saw the War in Afghanistan for the lies it is built on, and was killed by friendly fire that the Army covered up.
Not telling his whole story serves the U.S war propaganda machine.
Pat Tillman left the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the U.S. Army after 9/11. He turned down a $3.6M contract offer at 25 years old.
Tillman was killed in Afghanistan 17 years ago today.
RIP.
Today, DSA endorses “Uncommitted” in the remaining Democratic presidential primaries. Until this administration ends its support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and delivers a permanent, lasting ceasefire, Joe Biden will bear the responsibility for another Trump presidency. 1/
Congress is preparing to fund a genocide. Rather than seek deescalation, the ruling class spends its time smearing those who recognize the humanity of Palestinians and the true cause of this conflict: apartheid. We will not be cowed in the fight for peace and liberation.
Every left wing program is met with questions about how we will pay for it. The answer is simple. We are going to tax the rich and end the wars that cost us more and more every year.
"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children.”

More than 14,000 people were arrested for protesting George Floyd's murder, today
#Only13
right-wingers were arrested for storming the Capitol. Whose side are you on?
They say that the programs we support will never win in "red" states.
On Tuesday, DSA endorsed ballot measure for a $15 statewide minimum wage passed in Florida.
We are sad to announce that Senator Mike Gravel passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, at his home in Seaside, California. He was 91, and had lived the fullest live anyone could have ever wanted. We will miss him every day.
Do you want to help Texans living without power, heat and now water and food? Mutual aid and solidarity is stronger than charity. Here are mutual aid groups that can use financial and volunteer help now:
Democrats will always fight for greater access to health care and to make it affordable and accessible for all. No one should ever have to make a difficult decision between putting food on the table and filling a prescription.
For the past four years they've said we can't criticize Democrats because getting Trump out was too important. Now they'll call us divisive for going after Biden.
Don't play the game on their terms, we'll always stand up for what's right.

All three NBA games will not be played as players sit in wake of Jacob Blake shooting.
Tapper: “Will you raise taxes for the middle class?”
Bernie: I’m talking about no deductibles and no copays
Jake, your question is a Republican talking point.
And by the way the healthcare industry will be advertising on this program with that talking point.
#DemDebate
DSA is proud to endorse
@AOC
in her reelection bid for Congress, representing NY-14. During her first two years, she has:
- Introduced the Green New Deal
- Stood up to Democrats & Republicans on bad bills like the COVID stimulus giveaway to the rich [1/x]
This, all this with
@AOC
. The Left's win rate on Election Night was higher than the Center's and flipped red districts. DSA national candidates are at 75%, winning in places like MT and TX.
A $600 one time payment is nothing. We need $2,000 a month, retroactive to the beginning of the pandemic, and until it’s over.
That is what adequate relief for the working class looks like.
No matter who wins tonight we're still going to be fighting for:
🏥 Medicare for All
🛠️ Strong Labor Movement
🌍 Green New Deal
🏠 Homes for All
🚫 Cancel Student Debt
💵 Defunding the Police, Funding our Communities
Aaron’s final words were to reject complicity in the United States’ genocide in Gaza. May his soul rest in peace and may we live to free Palestine within our lifetime.
Aaron Bushnell, 25, of San Antonio, an active duty Air Force airman, self-immolated in front of the Israeli embassy today while chanting "Free Palestine." He has since succumbed to his injuries.
Rest in peace, Mr. Bushnell, and may your family and friends find healing and peace.
