Socialists Can Never Win â Until We Do
We all know the narrative by now: socialists are too radical, fringe, and unpopular to win any kind of lasting power. âEnjoy your time in the sun, lefties, because any moment now the hammer of reasonable, moderate thought will come crashing down and send you back to the depths of political obscurity with your collective tail tucked between your legs.â
Variations of this line are repeated constantly across the country by national media and prominent members of both parties. They repeat it like a mantra, both because they need it to be true and because they would rather eat glass than honestly engage with our ideas. Unfortunately for them, the recent streak of socialist victories has proven there is immense hunger for a working-class movement in this country. In fact, DSA may be more popular among Democratic voters than the Democratic Party itself. One out of three Democratic voters now identify as democratic socialists, and even among those who donât, two-thirds would be comfortable voting for one.
âThe Fight Has Just Begunâ: Angie Nixon Delivers Shocking Upset Win in Florida
In a surprise upset described variously as âstunningâ and âa shockerâ in headlines, State Rep. Angie Nixon won the Democratic primary for the open US Senate seat in Florida on Tuesday, defeating Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, the former national security official who many presumed would sail to victory with the support of the party establishment and a massive cash advantage.
Nixon, a former union organizer and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, will now face Sen. Ashley Moody, whom Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to the seat after former Sen. Marco Rubio became Secretary of State, in the general election.
Angie For Florida
What Led To This Moment
Angie Nixon is a Florida State Representative, union organizer, and mother born and raised in Jacksonville who has spent her career fighting for hardworking Floridians. In the State House, she expanded childcare, took on corporate price-gouging, and led the fight against DeSantisâs unfair voting maps. Her leadership is rooted in lived experienceâwatching her mom work two jobs to get by, attending public schools, and losing her cousin to gun violence. Angie is running to lower costs, raise wages, and build a people-powered government that puts families firstânot greedy billionaires.

Itâs Not Trump. Itâs America.
Is Trump a freak of history or its fulfillment, an aberration or a culmination? The answer, surely, is both. But in the course of his presidency, Trump has revealed a much older malady: Americaâs unshakable faith in its ability to shape the world to its liking, indifferent to what others might want and supremely confident that its plan is the right one. Beyond Trump, itâs this disfiguring mentality we Americans must face.
Troops in LA can detain individuals, military official says, as protests spread across US
In addition to protecting government buildings and personnel, the Pentagon has said the troops will safeguard Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during raids.
ICE posted photos online on Tuesday of National Guard troops standing guard with weapons in hand as ICE officers handcuffed apparent migrants against the side of a car in Los Angeles.
An 1878 law, the Posse Comitatus Act, generally forbids the U.S. military, including the National Guard, from taking part in civilian law enforcement.
Democrat RFK Jr. details how he differs ‚profoundly‘ with Biden ahead of 2024 election
Kennedy is challenging Biden in the 2024 Democratic primary. While he has known Biden for many years, the challenger said they have differing stances on issues like corporate influence in government, censorship, civil liberties, poverty, corruption and war policy.
„I look forward to engaging him in debates and town hall meetings, in a primary election that is honest, civil, and transparent,“ Kennedy said in a statement. „I invite him into a new era of respectful dialog in these times of division.“
Exposed: CDC Rushed to Change Definition of ‚Vaccination‘ On Same Day Israel Study Touts Natural Immunity over Vaccine
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) quietly changed their definition of âVaccinationâ on September 1st, exchanging the word âimmunityâ for âprotection,â now that it appears that breakthrough cases can no longer be explained away as an anomaly.
The definition change occurred on the same day â September 1st â that a massive study was released demonstrating that those who had been vaccinated were â13 times more likely to be infected with the Delta variant (what has been called a âbreakthroughâ infection) than those with natural immunity,â as summarized at the American Conservative.
Covid-19 vaccine immunity may be waning. Here‘s what that meansâand doesn‘t.
Explanations for Israel‘s vaccine effectiveness data
When Israeli researchers announced last month that people vaccinated in the winter were more likely to contract Covid than those who had been vaccinated in the spring, many assumed this demonstrated waning vaccine effectiveness.
The data from Israel‘s Ministry of Health suggested that vaccine effectiveness against both infection and symptomatic disease had decreased to around 40%, but this decline may have been due to other factors and not the vaccines, Wu writes
Likud MKs fight over potential cooperation with United Arab List
While some Likud members of Knesset see a potential in the Arab party Ra‘am, that managed to reach the threshold, others cannot fathom such cooperation.
‚Your Brexit sulk will cost lives‘: MPs from all parties and the WHO plead with Britons to keep taking ‚safe‘ AstraZeneca vaccine amid fury that EU‘s ‚fake news‘ has fuelled anti-vax campaign as Sweden joins 12 countries suspending jab
As Sweden became the latest European country to suspend the Oxford vaccine over unproven fears it causes blood clots, politicians, medics and scientists have launched a concerted effort to reassure the public about safety.
France, Germany, Spain and Italy are also among the states to act despite the European Medicines Agency dismissing the link, with warnings that the pausing of inoculations is ‚reckless‘ and will cost lives on the continent.
Be a nonconformist.
A thread of #MLK speeches and sermons in which he speaks truth to power, shares about his philosophy of nonviolence, and expounds on issues of injustice and what our righteous, rigorous response should be. Relevant. Revelatory. Revolutionary. #MLKDay
Netanyahuâs Wooing of Arab Voters Unwittingly Sets an Important Precedent
The truth is, it doesnât make any difference what his motive is. And thereâs no need to support him, much less vote for him, to be filled with optimism.
After all, if the wall of the delegitimizing of Arab votes is cracked, that would be enough. If, following Netanyahu, other parties begin wooing Arabs and reserving spots for them on their tickets (see Meretz), that would be enough.
