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/ With over 100k people voting “Uncommitted” in last Tuesday’s MI primary to demand a permanent ceasefire, Biden is on track to lose the election to Trump unless he chooses to listen to the working class of this country and change course. Defeat is certain if he fails to do so. 2/

DSA applauds @RashidaTlaib @CoriBush @AOC and the 10 other members of Congress who voted no on HR 894. DSA strongly opposes all forms of discrimination, but this resolution does nothing to fight anti-Semitism. Instead, it conflates support for Palestinians with anti-Semitism. 1

The resolution describes the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism as “widely accepted,” but the IHRA definition has faced serious criticism from scholars, elected leaders, human rights groups, and many others. 2

Wondering why people all over the world are celebrating Henry Kissinger's death? Here's a rundown of just a fraction of his crimes against humanity as an agent of capitalist imperialism.1/7

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 We unequivocally condemn the killing of all civilians. It is imperative for international human rights law to be respected.

But we cannot forget that the Israeli state has systematically denied Palestinians the right to self-determination for decades. 2/5

A follow-up statement from our National Political Committee on the rail contracts and how to build power for workers on the rails and beyond. For the full statement follow the link. The NPC is organizing a mass call for members on the subject. 1/7
dsausa.org/statements/sta… "Railroad work is notoriously brutal. On-call nearly around the clock, workers suffer regular, often fatal, accidents due to overwork and exhaustion. And yet the [Tentative Agreement] lacks any paid sick leave, let alone the 15 days demanded by rank-and-file workers." 2/7

From the National Political Committee: A Statement on the Question of Expelling Congressman Bowman

1/9 Following his egregious Iron Dome vote, the Congressman met with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on his recent trip to Israel with J Street. The NPC strongly condemns these actions by Congressman Jamaal Bowman. There is no excuse for Rep. Bowman’s decisions. 2/9

Member quotes Monday 🧵

From Oregon: I like what DSA does for unions and the community.

From California: I'm going to be a father and this country must change. ❤️

dsausa.org/join 2/5 "I’m a DSA member because our ability to have our basic needs met shouldn’t be tied to our wealth, and I want to connect with a local community of others who know everyone is worthy of all good things in this world."

What is the alternative to a failed, for-profit, mostly private power grid that leaves millions to freeze? #TexasBlackout 1. A federally owned supergrid that allows energy to be imported from regions of the country that have an excess of solar, wind, and other energy at that time....

From our Nat'l Political Committee: DSA will not endorse any other presidential candidate as none are advancing a democratic socialist vision. Defeating the right is imperative & will require a mass movement of working class people fighting to completely transform our world. 1/5 We believe Biden’s anti-Chinese xenophobic messaging & the allegations of sexual assault against him exemplify how corporate Democrats allow the advance of far-right politics, white supremacy, misogyny, and capitalism. 2/5
