Hello Comrades.
@ElectShannel
and I have decided to launch campaigns in the assembly and congressional districts that overlap in East Los Angeles. We will be running as Socialists Shannel as a Green Party Candidate and myself as the Peace and Freedom Party Candidate. 🧵
Liberals calling for “ceasefire” aren’t actually concerned about Palestinians’ safety, let alone their liberation. They’re not actually asking for a ceasefire; they’re merely demanding that the fire stop burning so brightly so they can go back to ignoring the flames.
Our district is home to beautiful Israeli and Jewish-American communities, and so many who have family in Israel. I cannot imagine the terror they are experiencing.
I stand with them in condemning the horrific violence by Hamas and praying for a peaceful end to this conflict.
@LAUSDSup
This is propaganda, you are the one refusing to negotiate. We have 20% less purchasing power than the last time we got a raise! You are lucky we are just asking to match inflation!
Almost 4% 💪🏽 if we had proportional representation and we got 4% state wide we would have earned 3 state assembly seats, a state senate seat, and 2 congressional seats. We need
@ProRepCoalition
now!
Of course they are gonna use the situation in Occupied Palestine to now attack Mexico. This is why a proper anti-imperialist analysis is necessary. From Palestine to Mexico, The border walls have got to go.
BREAKING: Hamas allegedly has terror cells in the United States after entering the country via the southern border, creating a fear of terrorist attacks in big cities over the next 14 months.
Just the fact that the Democrats hung over 20k cancelation of student debt over us and then made sure it didn’t pass should have been a bigger wake up call than it was.
Childhood friends back together again. So great to reconnect with my childhood friend to discuss our important partnership between CD13 &

. Once again, welcome to Hollywood Councilman Soto-Martinez!
Should socialists use both the democratic and Republican ballot lines? NO we should be creating Broad Left Coalitions where us Socialists can run as Socialists while also provide a space for new socialists can go to instead of toxic micro-sects.
The 2024 election season has begun, and so has our endorsement process!

Didn’t you give more money to the police? We’re suppose to be taking money from the police and giving it to metal health clinicians and service providers. Not increasing their budget so they both have more.
Democrats infuriate me to no end. They act like they are the opposition party. The
@CA_Dem
has 80% in the CA Assembly and Senate. Instead of talking they need to ENACT. But they won’t because the Democrats are a capitalist party, they fight for billionaires not workers.
This district can’t take another KDL or his buddies in the Democratic Party. Each race, we’re told to vote for a new Democrat- that this time it’ll be different and things will get better.
CD14 is tired of waiting. It’s time for a working class socialist fighter in City Council.
UCSB is such a joke.ZIONISTS who have a proven track record of fixing elections by promising frats funding, which I personally witnessed between 2013-2016 in order to prevents BDS resolutions, is closing the MCC because some students want people who believe in a genocidal….
Let me get this straight:
Nearly all of our predominately white frats and sororities are still open despite HUNDREDS of sexual assault allegations and racial discrimination cases,
But a few cardboard signs that condemn a genocide is enough to close an entire building.
Yesterday I stood in solidarity with my fellow union members to demand that

NEW: One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California.
In a series of secret meetings in 1994, the Resnicks seized control of California’s public water supply.
Now they’ve built a business empire by selling it back to working people.
San Francisco is home to one of the biggest Chinatowns in the country. Chinese-Americans have a rich history in California. Just like many other immigrants in California, Chinese people should have the same right to feel pride in their culture and heritage.
Imagine claiming to be a Socialist and taking as many photo ops as you can with liberals 👀. They Democrats aren’t our allies just like the republicans aren’t. Our only ally is the working class.
At a holiday event last night with scores of families and children present, Councilmember de León, a staff member, and non-profit staff person were physically assaulted by so-called activists. Please see the Councilmember’s statement.
Groundwork and SMC are tanking DSA-LA. It’s either rightist opportunism or deliberate anti-socialists operations from the Democratic Party. Both are bad
LA City Council unanimously approved a bailout deal for Chinatown Landlord, Tom Botz, for almost $15M.
The deal, however, does not include canceling the affected tenants’ rent debt, estimated at a little over $1 million.

Weird how throwing people into tool sheds is “dignified, safe”. Even weirder how people are defending this as a solution. When actually housing people in vacant ha part mente and homes is a much better solution.
📣 Announcing "Home for All" 📣
We are launching project Home for All, to provide dignified and safe housing units and wraparound services to residents in need. Each unit is lockable, heated and cooled, and furnished with a desk and bed.
It makes me sad that some are using left/right-wing framing against comrades like me who organize alongside them. The right and left of US politics want fundamentally different things; in DSA we share a vision for an end to capitalism, we just differ on how best to get there.
Congress has decided to spend 1 trillion on the military, CBP, and DHS. Yet senior citizens are standing in bread lines in freezing temperatures. The Democrats and Republicans are unfit to lead.
Elderly and disabled people are standing on line in 10 degree weather for food and hot soup in NYC at Christmas Eve day. With walkers and canes. How sad is that.💔

I have seen many people grown dishearten due to the betrayal of progressives in office. Giving up on electoralism all together. This doesn’t prove that electoralism is a dead end, this proves that electoralism within the Democratic Party is a dead end. We need to build a strong-

In the same country that spends over $1 trillion a year in the military and its campaigns, they arrest senior citizens for not paying a utility bill. The jackbooted thugs even laugh at her when they present her the warrant. The foundation of this country is rotten.

Why was the only open socialist kept off from being able to plead their case in front of general membership? They had the required amount of signatures.
