>I'm kind of surprised that 30% of San Antonio's city council is DSA members. Also a little surprised that's only 5.9% in NYC but then again theirs a lot of very wealthy Democrats in NYC so that makes sense.
To be fair to the NYC DSA (and no further), NYC is still one of the biggest cities in the US, period, so a 100,000 member org dispersed nationwide literally doesn't have the capacity.

Haven't been to Texas but I have the impression that it's not as reactionary underneath the surface about as much as California is reactionary underneath the surface.

All of my friends now "reject nihilism" and are in support of Graham Platner. I don't even know. I don't even know! Because who's to say that he isn't just going to do an about face when he gets in like literally every other politician. Is it worth it to invest time in electoralism or what? I just have a bad feeling again, like with every politician, that this facade will fade away once he's in the Senate. I hate this shit

US antitrust chief Gail Slater ousted from Trump justice department
Her defenestration followed a strained relationship with the attorney general, Pam Bondi, who had reiterated to the White House in recent weeks that their differences over the direction and management of the division were irreconcilable. Slater also found herself isolated outside the department, most notably with JD Vance – once her most powerful ally – who grew weary of hearing complaints that Slater had invoked his name, one of the people said.

NewYork-Presbyterian nurses defeat strong-arming by NYSNA bureaucracy, continue strike
On Wednesday, nurses at New York-Presbyterian Hospital overwhelmingly rejected the sellout contract, which leaders of the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) tried to impose through an entirely illegitimate vote. Out of approximately 4,200 NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP) nurses who were eligible to cast ballots, 3,099 voted to reject the deal and 867 voted to approve it.

DHS shutdown imminent as Senate leaves town without deal
Despite two weeks of negotiating, Democrats said Thursday that they were no closer to a deal with Republicans to avert a shutdown. Democratic leaders are demanding reforms to ICE. The standoff over funding for DHS started after a string of federal law enforcement shootings in U.S. cities this year, particularly the killing of two American citizens in Minneapolis in January.

All Charges Against Baki Have Been Dropped!
The trial was supposed to last until the evening. But on Tuesday, Baki Devrimkaya emerged from Berlin’s Regional Court before noon, where he was greeted by dozens of supporters with banners and chants. The case had been dismissed—resulting in neither a guilty nor a not guilty verdict. Instead, the charges will disappear in exchange for a €450 donation to medico international, an NGO that opposes the genocide in Gaza. Back in December 2023, Baki had been a steward at a pro-Palestinian protest at the Free University of Berlin. Right-wing agitators attempted to disrupt the event by destroying posters featuring images of murdered Palestinian children, insulting students as “Nazis,” and physically attacking stewards. Multiple videos show Baki standing in front of these bullies, remaining peaceful even as they shoved him. Absurdly, Baki was charged with “assault” and “insult.” At a first trial last June, these charges had to be dropped as the evidence showed the opposite: Baki was the one being assaulted and insulted. Instead, the judge convicted Baki of “coercion” for standing in front of a person with outstretched arms for about 50 seconds. He was sentenced to a €450 fine. This would create a dangerous and bizarre legal precedent, potentially criminalizing every form of stewarding at left-wing events. Baki appealed the charges, and yesterday his three lawyers were able to get the coercion charge dropped as well. The right-wing paper Tagespiegel is lying when it claims in a headline that Baki was sentenced to a fine—there was no determination of guilt.

Majority want major shift left– but can the opportunity be seized?
AS THE Westminster political crisis unfolds, the hopes and fears of the capitalist class were spelt out plainly in two separate articles in The Telegraph, appearing on the same day this week. The first was headlined “Why bond markets may be Starmer’s closest friend.” The Prime Minister has indeed run out of others. The article’s argument was simple. The international money markets will rally to try to save Britain’s useless premier. The omnipotent markets threw a wobbly when Rachel Reeves burst into tears at Prime Minister’s Questions last yearPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

US officials lift 10-day closure of El Paso airspace after balloon mistaken for drone
While some officials claimed that Mexican cartel drones invaded US airspace, in recent days a balloon was reportedly mistaken for a drone. The initial, vague citation of security concerns prompted still more questions as conflicting narratives surrounding this surprising closure and its abrupt reversal have since emerged.

'It's time to get aggressive', Border Patrol agent says in Chicago shooting video
Martinez, a Montessori school teacher in Chicago, was following the agents to warn residents of their presence when the collision occurred. In the bodycam video released Tuesday, one agent could be heard saying "do something, bitch" shortly before the vehicles made contact. An agent in the vehicle, driven by Border Patrol agent Charles Exum and bearing an Uber carshare sign, said they were being boxed in. "It's time to get aggressive," the agent said, adding, "we're going to make contact."

Right-Wing Catholic Off Trump Religion Panel After Israel-Gaza Remarks at Antisemitism Event
Noting that Israeli forces have killed “tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza,” Prejean Boller asked panel participant and University of California Los Angeles law student Yitzchok Frankel, who is Jewish, “In a country built on religious liberty and the First Amendment, do you believe someone can stand firmly against antisemitism… and at the same time, condemn the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza, or reject political Zionism, or not support the political state of Israel?” “Or do you believe that speaking out about what many Americans view as genocide in Gaza should be treated as antisemitic?”

The Only Option is a Total Existential Confrontation: PFLP
‘Our people have no choice but to engage in a comprehensive existential confrontation’ The Popular Front: The decisions of the “actual annexation” represent an essential shift in the level of Zionist criminality and the biggest escalation since 1967; it is a declaration of all-out war against Palestinian existence, and the transition from military administration to direct colonial sovereignty, with the aim of finishing off our people and cause once and for all These new Zionist criminal measures bury the “Oslo” phase and the illusions of a settlement forever, and clearly reveal a Zionist plan to impose comprehensive security, military, and administrative guardianship, through which they will transform our cities and villages into ethnic ghettos run by Zionist war criminals.

Socialists in Latin America Demand Brazil and Mexico Send Oil to Cuba Now!
After the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores in Venezuela, and the threats against Iran and Greenland, Trump is now once again targeting Cuba. The United States is reinforcing its criminal embargo against Cuba, now sanctioning companies and countries that sell oil to the island, directly or indirectly. Mexico stopped sending oil to Cuba, once again aligning with the criminal economic offensive driven by Donald Trump’s authoritarian administration against the island. President Claudia Sheinbaum first tried to deny the news, before finally confirming it. She has publicized that Mexico is sending boxes of food to Cuba, a PR move for Mexico, This suspension of energy supplies coincides with an executive order from Washington, which threatens to impose punitive tariffs on countries that sell crude oil to Cuba. This measure is designed to deepen Cuba’s isolation, escalating the decades-long criminal and illegal blockade. Economic collapse is now very likely. Furthermore, the Trump administration is threatening sanctions against companies and countries that sell oil to the island, which could include the Brazilian company Petrobras. Oil is essential to guaranteeing energy, transportation, hospitals, and basic living conditions for the Cuban people. The United States is using this dependence on oil as a weapon of economic warfare. The U,S. sanctPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

People got overexcited because of NATOs failure in ukraine, and oct 7, and the domestic situation in america. It's not guaranteed yet that the west & NATO have been defeated like these youtubers keep saying for clickbait.
in the 1970s people thought the US was on its last legs, with riotors in the streets, the golden age of serial killers, bank robbers, wierd terroristic groups, satanic panics, the USSR was winning across the globe, and norman finklestein and his maoist reading group were plotting revolution.

A lot of the fatties died off during COVID. I'd be more inclined to believe the obesity rate is declining if we see a consistent drop every year for the next 5-10 years. Gallup cites glp1s for the drop, but it's known that a lot of the people regain the weight they lost on a glp1. You can take the fatty out of the buffet line but you can't take the buffet line out of the fatty.
