American democratic socialism could emerge as a major political force in this country -- but its main organization, DSA, is currently encumbered by those who have no interest in such a perspective.

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

This is consistent with AWRADs recent polls. PCPSR has shown Hamas with much higher numbers but even their polls shows Hamas support has fallen. Like AWRAD ISEPs polls show the 2ss as the most popular democratic solution to the conflict among Palestinians

The latest ISEP poll in Gaza, conducted from January 22 to 27, 2025, shows that only 6% of Gazans support Hamas rule, and just 5.3% would vote for them.

@aoc.bsky.social is not wrong but I think there has been a cultural shift on the left from 2018 when AOC was first elected with a focus on making political change and opposing Trump's authoritarianism to a self satisfied piety It needs to change to fight Trump's authoritarianism
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Even with the first phase of the hostage release and ceasefire in place, far-right Knesset members are threatening to bring the deal down.
It's our deepest hope that this temporary peace is made permanent and that the Cohens and all families can embrace their loved ones again.
