Cambridge DSA 🌹

SOCIALISM SURGE: Support for socialism within the United States hits an all-time high. The latest Fox News poll finds a record 38% of American voters think it would be a good thing for the United States to move away from capitalism and toward socialism — that’s more than double the record low in 2010. While younger Democrats and very liberal voters are the most eager to embrace socialism, a solid majority of Americans, led by Republicans and older voters, still say moving away from capitalism is a bad idea.

Um... according to *FOX NEWS,* 38% of US voters want to move towards socialism. 😳

“Cambridge’s home rule petition is one way the city can help keep attention and pressure on the issue, and I’m glad we moved forward with it last night,” Sobrinho-Wheeler told Cambridge Day via email.

Feeling justified in giving Councillor Al-Zubi my #1 (with Councillor Sobrinho-Wheeler as my *very* close #2).

The DSA Difference.™

Cambridge is leaving X. Our policy order to take the city off the platform passed unanimously Monday night. Yesterday morning, the city posted a final farewell message—and then went dark.

Thread below on how we got here and what we do next

Leadership must meet the moral challenge of its day. What is the moral challenge of our day? Economic violence- Jesse Jackson Photo of Rev. Jackson with Bernie Sanders.

Jackson's Presidential campaigns fired back, laying out a vision of a multiracial America that inspired both his adherent Bernie Sanders and the entire democratic socialist movement. Jackson held the line on Palestine, on gay rights, on racial justice, and on economic justice.
