Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

NEW YORK — The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is facing a political firestorm after the organization promoted a pro-Palestine rally in the wake of Hamas militants’ attacks on Israeli communities.

The group did not organize Sunday’s rally, its leadership said Monday. But several lawmakers with DSA ties are distancing themselves from what was said at the event.

New York Democratic Committee Chair Jay Jacobs said he expects there will be political repercussions for elected officials who have been endorsed by the organization, which includes Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who have been reelected by wide margins.

“I think anything like this gives voters an indication of what this group stands for,” Jacobs said. “Candidates who run with that endorsement or state they are members of the group, they’ll face the electorate, and I think they’ll see the consequences.”

How the hell does this dude still have a job? He's a complete fuckup, even by Dem standards

Brilliant strategy on the Dems' part: go after your most popular politicians and your grassroots at the same time.

Oh it's ok, don't tell us what was actually said at the rally, or by who, or by what proportion of the participants

That's what I was looking for as well and literally nothing is quoted from the rally.

Sounds legit.

Do you figure she'll go with crying or defiant face when voting to send weapons of murder to the apartheid state?

Also, this is why dsa should have dropped her ass over shitheel turn first time

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

So true. The struggle session DSA has had about punishing representatives that go to Washington and then do the opposite of what they were endorsed for was huge. They should have dropped Bowman and AOC

Always On Camera sure is awfully progressive until the exact moment she has to actually say or do anything to the left of Nancy Pelosi.

there is no war where an innocent civilian was not killed. but some conditions are so horrible that it will kill more than a war. liberals are incapable of understanding this.

feckless
