The last article you’ll ever need to read about Nithya—I give you my latest honkings in Geese:
After a contentious debate that has claimed center stage in the organization's discourse, a cross-tendency group of DSA-LA leaders argues for endorsing Nithya Raman for mayor against liberal incumbent Karen Bass. The authors believe this decision will consolidate other chapter campaigns around the most high-profile race in the city, engage with the material realities of the working class, and move Los Angeles closer to DSA's ultimate political horizon. The endorsement vote begins today and runs until September 1st. If you are a member of DSA-LA, make your voice heard by casting your vote before the deadline. READ: geesemag.com/articles/to-win…

I wish Nithya had not said this. But let's be clear. Nithya will not "represent" DSA through her rhetoric. This clip will be viewed mainly by people on left-of-center Twitter, and not by the broadly unorganized working class. Nithya will represent DSA through her governance.
Raman was pitched as an LA Zohran. She’s not. She wont defend BDS. She can’t even explain what socialism is. It was wildly irresponsible of the chapter to endorse someone so ill prepared to represent DSA in such an important position.

Well I think the entire point is that what you are willing to do “for someone you love” he did it for everyone—not only the beloved, not only those who deserved it, not only for those who knew, the stranger, the criminal, the outcast, the most vile sinner
going thru diaries from when i was struggling with my Christian faith. It seems even from a very young age, I was confused that Jesus's sacrifice was supposed to be such a big deal. I find multiple entries across the years with variations on "Obviously any of us would do that for someone we loved, it kinda seems like Jesus just hitting the bare minimum"

Unironically, this is why AOC's line on trans rights, "you get to control your body" is perfect. Do you want to be in control of your body or do you want a TV writer who torched his career so he could obsess over children's genitals to be in control of it?

President Obama is right. Angie Nixon will make a great U.S. Senator. She has overcome enormous odds. She has the momentum. She’s gonna win!
Today, I’m honored to share that President Obama is supporting our campaign for the U.S. Senate. President @BarackObama & I both started as organizers in our communities, because we immediately understood that real changes come from regular folks joining the fight. #AngieForFlorida

When states cut progressive taxes like property and income, they hose working people with all these nonsense taxes and fees. What Rick Jackson wants for Georgia.
Arkansas taxes do not mess around. Holy shit

This is incredible! Karen Bass is now the Republican candidate for Mayor of L.A.!
Has Mayor Karen Bass become the Republican candidate in LA’s mayoral race? One poll says she has! @KFIAM640

Seems like those who don't want mega-publishers like EA or MS to shut down game studios might want to push for French-style labor protections.
Not only this, but Bethesda and Xbox signed a contract with Disney/Marvel for the Blade project, and if the game is cancelled and Arkane is shuttered, not only will Microsoft have to pay out extended severance, they will ALSO likely have to pay Disney and Marvel a large sum for violating/shredding said contract. Also, this idea that Microsoft and Xbox have been the ONLY ones footing the bill for this game is ludicrous, as evidently Disney and Marvel poured some of their own money into the project as well. Microsoft is out here acting petty like they can no longer afford this game when they just purchased Kojima’s PHYSINT and spent untold hundreds of millions on Gears of War: E-DAY.

Honestly moreso than managing to finish the game in under 2 years (which required unhealthy crunch) I did respect DA2's complete swerve towards a narrative where you get relentlessly crushed by the forces of history in a genre that's usually very "great man" in tone
Dragon Age II was developed in less than a year and a half. With that in mind, it’s a borderline masterpiece.

We finally found out what can get the DSA left to side with Zionists and anti-socialist right wing Democrats. Allying to block new housing from being built!
in the case of this member I view participation in the chapter and commitment to this slate as evidence of positive change, and I sympathize with the context of the donation

Nithya represents transparent socialist governance in LA. We haven’t heard from Bass for years and now see her on our feeds, right on time for election season. Much like Zohran, Nithya will be updating and engaging discourse with the people both online and irl directly from day 1
LA has spent four years asking: Where is our mayor? When I’m mayor, you won’t have to ask. LA deserves a city that shows up for us. A Los Angeles that loves us back. Let’s go get it.
