Joined December 2019
This weekend, I officially became a Co-Chair of the Philly DSA branch of the Afrosocialists and Socialists of Color Caucus, and I think it might be the proudest I've ever been to be part of a project in my time in DSA.

Lula’s victory is proof of what 3 weeks of coordinated, concerted and intense organising can yield.

Should frankly be a lesson to US socialists as well. We can debate the strategic merits of elected office. Fundamentally, a campaign that only mobilizes people to the polls, even successfully, will not activate the masses as a conscious political force
Lessons of Lula victory for India: Street mobilisation played an important role in galvanising moderates and dormants after the first elections.Lulas challenge of Meta’s biased algorithms and late surge in his social media campaign.And the slogan - Brazil is nobody’s backyard.

Fidel sobre Lula “Nunca fue un extremista de izquierda, ni ascendió a la condición de revolucionario a partir de posiciones filosóficas, sino de las de un obrero de origen muy humilde y fe cristiana, que trabajó duramente creando plusvalía para otros.”

Lula is not without fault but my god this is much needed good news. As the region increasingly veers to the right, with leader after leader declaring their commitment the Zion*sm, the largest Latin American country not following suit is definitely something worth celebrating.

Lula's victory is a massive shot in the arm for the left across Latin America, difficult to overstate how much this has raised morale already These next few months we're going to see BIG protests from emboldened movements against fragile & unpopular pro-US govts.

Ansioso para chegar no Congresso Nacional e pautar todo dia a prisão de Flávio Bolsonaro e todos os envolvidos no escândalo do Banco Master. Flávio, acabou a imunidade parlamentar!

This is where you can end up if you abandon working class self-activity as the centre of the Marxist project. On the one hand, you treat workers as cattle who you have to lie to and mislead. On the other, you delude yourself that capitalist progressives are secret communists
Imagine having a DSA endorsed candidate leading in the polls & unironically thinking now would be a good time to un-endorse cuz she’s trying to Trojan horse socialism to liberals in a literal CNN interview and it didn’t satisfy your LARP signifiers and say the magic words for you

URGENT🚨: We’re witnessing unprecedented voter suppression here in Brazil. Far-right governors are targeting the poor & the marginalized – & shutting down their access to polling stations. We must wake up! Whether it’s Trump or Bolsonaro, authoritarians fear the people’s voice!
BREAKING 🇧🇷 The Supreme Court of Brazil has recognized Bolsonaro’s widespread effort to suppress the popular vote by shutting down public transit – and extended the vote by 2 hours. But scores of stations have already closed – and cannot now reopen to the public.

Roteiro do golpe O bolsonarismo usou seu poder econômico para criar caos na eleição e impedir o direito ao voto. Agora começa uma onda de perfis bolsonaristas falando em “golpe”. As Big Techs vão estimular os posts bolsonaristas e vão fortalecer um clima de violência nas ruas. Se confirmada a derrota de Flávio Bolsonaro, os Estados Unidos não reconhecem o resultado e falam em fraude.

The incarceration of Fergie Chambers in Spain, pending extradition to the US for showing solidarity with Palestine, is an international scandal. Join me in demanding his release!

As reputable news outlet, I would certainly hope Drop Site News would knowingly publish "illegally" obtained classified CIA intelligence, as would any serious journalist if the information was in the public interest.
Did @DropSiteNews knowingly publish illegally obtained classified CIA intelligence? On October 5, the outlet co-published Aída Chávez’s story claiming a secret CIA assessment warned Israel could descend into civil war. That date is now in an FBI leak affidavit🧵

This was my reaction to the Vic Mensa interview too, whose entire premise was racist despite trying to pass as some deep inter-community dialogue. Between Obama, Rice, and Powell, you have 3 Black Americans responsible for 4.5 million Arab and Muslim deaths. Still, nobody would ask a random Black congressional candidate to account for those war crimes—whose scale far surpassed the undeniable petty bourgeois exploitation of Black neighborhoods by shopkeepers—simply on the basis that they share the same race as some war criminals.
Has Abdul El-Sayed ever owned a gas station or liquor store in Detroit? Why is he being made into an avatar for anti-Arab grievances? Why must Arab and Muslim candidates answer for the real or perceived sins of other members of their group?
