DSA stands in absolute opposition to the proposed deal to pass Trump's billionaire budget. Healthcare is a right, not a bargaining chip.

Ann Cudd | President, PSU

Here's what people had to say about Ann:

"Ann Cudd threatened student safety on campus by calling in the Portland Police Bureau who brutalized student protesters. She also prioritizes real estate deals rather than affordable education at an access-institution."

Far from their caricature as coup plotters who hated elections and democracy, the Bolsheviks used electoralism frequently, but towards revolutionary ends. Michael L explores what their work in the 4th Duma looked like and what we can learn from it today.

The stats are in for quarter 3 lobbying at the City of Portland and…

*drumroll*

🏆 The Portland Business Alliance, once again, has lobbied more than any other the entity by a huge margin!🥇

We can’t afford to buy influence in local media, so we’ll let you know here.

The PBA wants you to think we — a grassroots membership org — have an outsized influence over local politics, but every statistical indicator says the opposite:

the Portland Business Alliance and their wealthy corporate members continue spend more money on politics than anyone else by a long shot!

Never trust a CEO. Just because bourgeois progressives are better than alternative options does not make them friends of the working-class.

Just to be clear, socialism is *not* when the Republican Party and their corrupt billionaire president cut your food stamps to punish you for being poor while they enrich themselves and their buddies.

That’s actually happening right now in the center of global capitalism.

DSA supports the mass mobilizations against Donald Trump. As socialists we must be clear: defeating Trump and his administration means defeating the whole capitalist, imperialist system. Join DSA to help build the movement for a better world.

“The most important part of this was the working class moving as an organized bloc rather than individuals voicing their opposition into the wind… If this type of movement is to be built in the United States today, we could defeat the Trump administration before the next election.” #FightOligarchy

Since being elected, Trump has taken authoritarian actions at a scale which the U.S. has not seen in a long time, culminating in a recent series of federal military occupations. R&R member Diego examines their nature and what we must do to fight back.
