Donate to Preserve the Solidarity Mural Fifty years ago, a team of artists led by John Pitman Weber and Jose Guerrero created the “Solidarity” mural in the lobby of the UE Hall in Chicago, at that time the center of a vibrant working-class ...

The Solidarity Mural is an invaluable piece of our union’s history. When we sold the building in Chicago, we knew we had to rescue the mural. There were technical difficulties including some pieces that crumbled.

Can we count on you to help us finish preserving this vital piece of UE’s history?

If the org connects itself to the world through existing orgs and institutions, the input we get and output we create will be mediated by third parties and that inherently dilutes our control over our own organizations. Be skeptical of structures and projects that take us in those directions

Are we setting ourselves up to communicate only to and through existing activist networks, NGOs and union bureaucracies or are we structuring ourselves in a way to bypass those gatekeepers and forge new, direct connections?

How are we connecting our organizations to social locations where we are getting real-time input from working class people in motion, and offering a message to those same people, ie, a positive feedback loop embodied in our org structure?

That means their other polling is ominous. There is a reckoning barely outside the view of the public that the political class is aware of, and I think it is going to explode into view soon, and the question is, will socialists be ready to capitalize on it, or will we be caught navel gazing?

Deep cut but there was briefly a place called Fan Si Pan that made burrito sized spring rolls. It was replaced by Hoosier Mama. That or Zorba’s Diner

Jackson tried to recreate Harold Washington’s political path in the Democratic Party primaries, and Obama eventually took that same model (but stripped of any substance, in truly early aughts fashion)

And this barn burner can’t not psyche you up. “He won by the margin of despair.” “As a matter of fact, we came here on a ‘foreign policy’”

Lots to critique about Jesse Jackson but for at least a generation he was about the only loud progressive voice in visible politics, and his 1988 DNC speech can still move me to tears. youtu.be/6RCARIpVDLU

This is so horrible. The criminality and cruelty of this ruling class has to be answered with more ruthless cruelty if we’re ever going to end stories like this

I get it, we can't get rid of capitalism or we'd lose its great innovations like the CSAM chat room, the suicide robot, the plagiarism machine, the doorbell snitch, the fake money generator, the self-immolating auto-car, the thing that puts ads in your ads, and the sex creep sunglasses. But still

Yesterday, after explaining how he rations his pancreas medication due to cost, my 80 y.o. dad proudly showed me the hi-vis vest he has for neighborhood patrol, and I became acutely aware of the rage I hold for all the actions/inaction that have led us here. So today I joined the @twincitiesdsa.org

For real, QAnon dropping the ball on this when it was their whole purpose is like how Skype lost out to Zoom when the pandemic started

Yesterday, in a packed room of 200 supporters in Gage Park, 25th Ward Alderman & Chicago DSA member Byron Sigcho-Lopez announced his run for Congress in IL 4th Congressional District as an independent democratic socialist.

That podcaster saying he’s not a bootlicker because he voted for the boot is among the funniest cope I’ve ever seen, you know his fans were like cmon man don’t admit that in front of people, bc it admits the pathetic psychological projection they’re doing

Just woke up from an amazing but bittersweet dream that me and Raekwon had to console GZA because he was feeling guilty that his five percenter beliefs and cursing in songs caused his mom to die. Dream-me said, “GZA, guilt is just your grief looking for a place to go.” Good job, Dream-me.

That brutal November, they lost 10 games out of 14. I’m blaming it on injuries and being optimistic they won’t have another terrible run like that
