Why is DSA Divided? In the New Liberator, Groundwork member Ben Davis argues that DSA's ideological splits reflect our divided political terrain, responding to Tom Goodkind's analysis of the 2025 DSA Convention: “Can We Meet the Moment?”

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

Make no mistake-Senate Dems under Schumer’s leadership gave up the fight to protect our healthcare. We need Democratic Socialism to fight for working class people!

Bowman achieved something incredible with his first campaign. If it weren't for redistricting, which removed nearly all Black voters from his district, he'd be a strong contender for governor. The left has lessons to learn from his campaign.
Jamaal Bowman was able to assemble a coalition of Black and progressive voters, something many candidates have struggled to do since. Read @michaellangenyc.bsky.social's interview with @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social to find out just how he did it!
