The Land of Lincoln DSA is on Bluesky now, by popular demand! And by popular, I mean a couple people asked about it. But hey, since we're here, we might as well mingle! If you're DSA-curious, get in touch with us!
Land of Lincoln DSA is holding a protest this Friday at the headquarters of the Sangamon County GOP. Got something you wanna say to the bastards who sold our lives and planet down the river to a dying fascist billionaire, than say it this Friday, and make damn sure you say it loud.

Yesterday, activists from across Central Illinois showed up in Decatur to protest Caterpillar’s 70th birthday party at the Devon Amphitheater. Bulldozers manufactured by Caterpillar have been instrumental to the demolishing of Palestinian homes in occupied Palestine. 1/2

Some good news for everybody, cause we could all really use it.
For the record: I lived in Africa for 11 years. There is no such thing as an "unprovoked attack" by an herbivore. Cape buffalo have a very low tolerance for predators looking at them the wrong way. www.expressnews.com/news/texas/a...

On Saturday, PSL Atlanta and members of the community held a 12-hour hunger strike outside the Israeli consulate in an act of solidarity with the people of Gaza, where a deliberate famine is being manufactured by the U.S. and Israel.

We demand the immediate end to all U.S. aid to Israel!

We must oppose Israeli aggression against Iran. A war against Iran would hurt working-class people both here and in Iran. There must be no war against Iran.

There's a non-zero chance that ICE is hiring bounty hunters in order to achieve Steven Miller's insane 3000 deportations a day number. And we know people are impersonating ICE agents (and cops) in order to extort people.

Stay safe out there.

The supreme court decided yesterday that it's only gender-based discrimination if you're discriminated aganst on the basis of your BIOLOGICAL gender.

Just another in a series of increasingly horrific decisions by this supreme court. Trans rights are human rights.
