I am the Schrödinger's anti-Nithya DSAer. I am simultaneously furiously trying to whip my list against her and also not really going to the mat at all because it's like whatever you know, those pro-Nithya guys are like such tryhards

The Nithya Campaign isn’t a real campaign, it’s just a promotional vehicle for Geese Magazine
A 3rd Geese op-ed on whether DSA-LA should endorse Nithya Raman just posted. The authors: "To build class consciousness and a socialist Los Angeles, we must actively contest and obtain power... Socialist leadership therefore means endorsing Nithya Raman." geesemag.com/articles/to-win…

I really think you need to have a hard cap on the length of a podcast. 90 minutes is straining it. Beyond that I think you’re just a bad at editing or interviews

Tomorrow I am proud to walk alongside my union siblings in @afscme3299, and I encourage all my @UPTECWA family to do the same. Come before your work shifts and lunch breaks and return the solidarity our coworkers have shown us!
TOMORROW, WE STRIKE! When we show up together, we win together. This is for our families, our patients, and for the future we deserve! Members and allies, bring your energy, see you on the line! #afscme3299 #3299strong #UCWorkers #strike #labormovement #laborunion #explore #picketline #UCberkeley #UCDavis #UCIrvine #UCLA #UCMerced #UCRiverside #UCSantaBarbara #UCSantaCruz #UCSD #UCSanDiego #UCSF

Because it would inevitably have meant in practice supporting & coalescing around the Democratic party, who *are* the popular front. That's the bottom dollar.
The inability to create a left-liberal popular front in the 2010s against this will probably be studied for decades

The moment is extremely dire, but it bear repetition that moments like these are where the left needs to demonstrate real leadership in battling the forces of consolidated capital and the fascist right

These are the moments the left builds organizations to anticipate, these are the moments we prepare for. No more talk about being "beyond bandwidth" or "at capacity," we have to leave it all on the field. The role we were meant to play in history is happening *now*.

Listening to NPR right now reporting on the NYC mayoral race and they are reporting how the early voting analysis is showing a younger electorate while not mentioning Mamdani once lolololol

This is the UC system’s union for their laboratory workers. There was a big story in the LA Times last late fall about how people were quitting right and left because of the conditions there. Meanwhile, the lab in Davis is the only one that can confirm #H5N1 For the ag sector.
Severe understaffing & unsafe working conditions at the California Animal Health & Food Safety Laboratory System jeopardizes our critical role in testing for diseases such as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (H5N1). #BirdFlu #HPAI #H5N1 #AvianInfluenza latimes.com/business/story/2…

MAY DAY STRIKE LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
UC continues to act with impunity, publicly announcing & implementing a hiring freeze without providing UPTE notice or a chance to bargain effects. This freeze will only worsen the already dire conditions our patients, students, and research face. RSVP: upte.org/ucstrike

I <3 My Union™️
UPTE members from UCLA, UCI, and UCR joined Sen. @BernieSanders and Rep. @AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the “Fighting Oligarchy” rally in LA. We stand proudly with them and the movement supporting workers, public healthcare, education, & research. #UnionStrong #FightOligarchy

If UC thinks it can get away with bad-faith bargaining, unilateral healthcare hikes, and divide-and-conquer tactics against new UPTE members, think again. #Strike #StrikeReady #Solidarity #UC

Tomorrow I'm proud to be joining 20,000 of my coworkers and colleagues on a statewide ULP strike. There is a staffing crisis in the UC, and if administration is not going to lift a finger it's up to the workers to sound the alarm. laist.com/news/education/upt…
