Literally not a single DSA candidate is a socialist. They do not fit into the description of socialist in any way that isn't a complete redefining of the word. Every single one of them propose a platform of managing the administration of capitalist relations, not destroying them.
All while making poverty wages and being exploited from every angle! 😁

“Police Brutality” is a redundant term.
Policing IS brutality.
Policing IS violence work.
Abolish the police!
🚨Innocent Healthcare Worker Held at Gunpoint in Houston Case of Mistaken Identity
A medical professional was brutally targeted, misidentified, slammed onto concrete, and held at gunpoint by Houston Police officers only to be released without a single word of apology.
They were looking for a suspect related to a car theft. They admitted they misidentified her.
She has since been treated at the hospital and is actively seeking legal representation and community assistance.
The physical and emotional trauma inflicted by this unwarranted brutality has deeply impacted both her and her family. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while commuting to serve others.
We need justice, accountability, and answers.

Venezuela announces privatization of state entreprises, like PDVSA, which was the engine behind crucially-needed social programs that helped slash poverty, illiteracy, fund healthcare, education. This is after Trump/Rubio said the oil was for "the good of Venezuelans." Shameful.
🇻🇪 Delcy Rodríguez anuncia que Venezuela devolverá o venderá empresas estatales no esenciales
La vicepresidenta ejecutiva informó que las compañías en manos del Estado consideradas no estratégicas serán ofertadas al sector privado o restituidas a sus antiguos propietarios afectados por procesos de expropiación.

"Haiti is a laboratory where these people can come in & kill our people with no recourse ... It’s been 22 years of a foreign occupation with thousands of our people dead and killed, but yet we’re sitting here talking about gangs. The biggest gangsters are the US and its minions."

best description of academia may be: what if the difficulty of becoming a pro athlete without any of the money or notoriety

Someone posted: The ruling class doesn’t need you to think capitalism is good. They just need you to think any alternative is worse. Your apathy is just as good to them as loyalty.

.@BarackObama deported millions, waged drone wars, destroyed Libya and Yemen and armed Israel for genocide. Now @AbdulElSayed is helping rehabilitate him as a moral voice against Trump.

Ask the people of Flint MI what they think about this charlatan
Ask the ppl this war criminal bombed about their opinion
Ask the millions who lost their homes due to this corporate puppet what their thoughts are
Ask the millions this scumbag deported about his hope & change
OBAMA: I inherited this major financial crisis. I never called my Treasury Secretary and said, “You've got to go to Arby's. Order roast beef. No cheese though that may look elitist.”
They don't have solutions to actual problems, so they'd rather have the media and you talking about the Cheesecake Factory.
Truly a master of the shuck and jive
Norman Finkelstein, Cornel West, and Richard Wolff discuss how Tucker Carlson has changed recently, with West saying that we should give Tucker a chance to prove he's really changed for the better. West says that Tucker is going through a "spiritual transformation" and Wolff says that Tucker becoming more religious could make him pro-immigration and against mass deportation.
Cornel West: "Now, he's changed again. People do change, I believe in people changing. And when they change, you give them a chance to be tried and true."
Richard Wolff: "I suspect Mr. Carlson may have an epiphany around his squaring the religion with that deportation."
