@helengalvinross well i gotta say i’m definitely against “military origins” UChicago should divest from anything with “military origins”
if mainstream resist lib accounts are doing stuff like this, then I think pro-Israel sympathies in the Democratic Party have taken a permanent hit that they’ll never recover from

To be clear, UChicago admin knows this 100%. They're just playing up the "aw shucks, muh marketplace of ideas, can't we all just get along?" schtick as much as they can because it sells super well with their conservative-to-moderate-liberal donor base.

People hate AOC bc her enormous popularity validates the idea that participating in electoral politics can grow the socialist movement. She also reveals the compromises winning power entails. Some people wanna go back to being a tiny club that’s right all the time. They’re wrong.
The Left won’t win politically if it continues to be a refuge for cynics + nihilists. One of the significant contributions the great Jane McAlevey (@rsgexp) has made, is to call unapologetically for us to focus on winning. The base we build when we do that will propel us forward.
Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity? "That could well be an official act," Trump lawyer John Sauer says
I'm sick of my ethnicity being used as a punching bag tbh
DSA needs to start having member referendums. the only venue for disagreeing with big decisions is social media, so everything becomes a social media crisis fight thing. if we want to be member driven lets actually let members drive. no way it's worse than the current system.
To pre-empt the DSA Twitter discourse that's gonna inevitably come out of this: This is like two-thirds our fault. We've been promising our federal electeds a federal SIO for years, but haven't delivered. They've all said they're willing to reach out. We have to commit to it.

Here’s the deal on Bring Chicago Home: Ballot measures are difficult. Ballot measures can often be complicated. And while often we like the idea of Direct Democracy, we haven’t done much of it in Chicago & Illinois and it requires some getting used to.

My office was right by the encampment, and I cannot understand how it interferes with exams. It’s that little red circle. Not a single notable the protest in the history of modern protest would meet the requirements of “acceptable” protest from many past free speech advocates.
One cannot disrupt the ability of one's fellow students to take exams or graduate with impunity. It's common courtesy and common sense. Such imposition of costs on one's fellows is not free expression.

Watching the DSA budget fight take place on twitter really does make you wonder if this is the goal for some ppl
This is the kind of thing you say when you intend to sever all ties and are going scorched earth. It'd be healthier for all involved and the socialist left generally, to just, not.
@helengalvinross well i gotta say i’m definitely against “military origins” UChicago should divest from anything with “military origins”
some bad news for the president of the university of chicago about arguments based on etymology
@AChillGhost It was a response to conservatives spending six months pretending that Fetterman wearing hoodies and sweatpants was the downfall of Western civilization (which also stopped immediately after he started supporting Israel, funny enough)
@nikicaga Really it’s specifically where any young left wing transplant lives, there are richer parts of town not circled. But these are all nice areas, certainly.
@nikicaga No it’s more like the young urban professional parts. It features gentrification zones but also excludes places with olds.
@thangbrandr @HCLPO No, they aren't. Can you point to a single example of someone actually proposing that?
@HCLPO You understand that a 15-minute city doesn't mean you're banned from taking trips longer than 15 minutes, right?

Ackman predicts that Trump will win a majority of Jewish votes in November. I’ve already offered to bet him on this. If anyone else would like to take Ackman’s side in an even-money bet, I can wager up to $10,000. Escrow preferred for bets over $1000.
Union activists are trying to plant the seeds for large-scale strikes on May Day 2028, by aligning contracts to end simultaneously. The idea came from @ShawnFainUAW. Now we're seeing local labor councils urging unions to shift their contract expirations. huffpost.com/entry/organize…
The police overreacting to the protest at UT Austin is only gonna throw fuel to it
Incredible sights at UT Austin as the growing protest marches against retreating (and mace wielding) cops, to retake the south lawn they were forced from earlier. Protests will not stop until UT divests from all interests in Israel. Hartzell and Abbot can't intimidate us.
it's frustrating to be entering a moment of historic uprising with this albatross around our necks. newly radicalized and newly organized leftists are not going to accept the arguments that normal union values don't apply inside the org we're asking them to join or organize with
Update: The NPC majority has declined to attend tonight's meeting, so we are going to cancel it. We plan to invite the NPC to a private meeting and bargain our MOU. Time is of the essence, as our layoffs notice mark May 25th as the last day for seven unit members.
DSA isn’t a socialist government. It is a 501c4 non profit bound to the laws of the United States of America. It’s workers are subjected to the same consequences as any other workers when they lose their jobs, and it’s workers who sell their labor have to survive under capitalism
This is connected to the classic/fascinating problem of unions under socialism. TLDR: if unions don't operate differently in a socialist society where workers themselves rule, militant unions repping workers with rare skills could quickly destroy the socialist society.
Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.
Workers' rights means all workers If the goal is to fire people because you disagree with their politics, just say that and do it We shouldn't have to play this game where we abandon our pricinples in pursuit of inter-organizational squabbles. Workers' rights must be central

It's really frustrating how unwavering Democratic politicians' support for Israel has been even with a shift in public opinion
if mainstream resist lib accounts are doing stuff like this, then I think pro-Israel sympathies in the Democratic Party have taken a permanent hit that they’ll never recover from
