In 2021, DSA was 85% white.
In 2026, DSA is 60% white.
America is 56% white.
By 2028 DSA will have a higher percentage of Black membership than America has as a percentage of the population.
And I'm not even joining. But these are the facts and the trajectory no matter how much you goofies want to Weaponize Neoliberal Identity Politics to maintain Zionist occupation of our Republic through Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer

You’d never get this info — especially presented in a way that’s easy to understand — if Koretz or Sokoloff had become Controller.
If your landlord offered you cash to move out, would you take it?
According to our latest Cash for Keys analysis (Jan 2019 - Sep 2026), the avg buyout amount is $25,455.

There is an arrogant criticism sometimes levied against DSA-SF - that "they don't know how to win elections." They just won a public bank & have won Right to Counsel, 2 Supes, and a real estate transfer tax over the past 8 years at the ballot.
Despite the worst circumstances.
PROP B WINS!! San Francisco has voted to establish the first municipal public bank in United States history!🌹
DSA SF and its members have been fighting for a public bank for nearly a decade, since @JackieFielder_ co-founded the SF Public Bank Coalition in 2017.

A lot of you "Marxists" on here are just reproducing Feuerbach's materialism and bastardizing Marx by branding it as his dialectical materialism

LA County is the only county in Southern California that voted yes on 40. Slandering the OC, IE, and SD was already a hobby of mine but it’s about to be my career.
California's 'billionaire tax' is still undecided. Here's where Proposition 40 stands latimes.com/politics/story/2…

I don't expect Zohran to give passionate defenses of prison abolition, but I think it's really disrespectful to the organization to allow Fox News to list DSA's platform like this and give no argument or education from his platform and just say "no".
"Get rid of borders?" "No." "Get rid of SCOTUS?" "No." "Get rid of jails?" "No."
@ShannonBream fires off a series of questions to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani about the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization he proudly says he belongs to.
After Mamdani rejects all three proposals, Bream asks whether the DSA will kick him out. He answers "No" again, this time with laughter.

Video tampering can mislead every frontier model we tested into harmful actions, including a 100% attempt rate on stabbing a baby doll, producing toxic gas, and pouring water into a toaster.

You poured millions into the most pathetic disgraceful fearmongering ads about “encampments in front of schools” and guess what? IT DIDN’T WORK because the people of this city are better than that.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the UAW. I’ll be thanking them from my FORD ESCAPE MADE IN THE LOUISVILLE PLANT BY UAW MEMBERS.
The United Auto Workers backed Abdul El-Sayed in a close Senate primary, then mobilized members across Michigan.

One thing that gets overshadowed (on here) by the Nithya/DSA drama, is that LA is a classic machine town where the party decides, and low-engagement, low-turnout elections don’t serve as much of a check on the party elite. Nithya winning is a pretty huge rebuke of that

this is why they pay centrist think tanks the big bucks, to triumphantly display a graph where two DSA members are ahead of a guy who himself is not in DSA
