I published more fleshed-out thoughts on the limited framing many of us socialists are using with campaigns like #CancelRent

and the need for sharper critique of predatory systems.

Would love people's feedback.

I'm encouraged that the Democratic Socialists of America endorsed the Red Deal.

The fight for #socialism must be rooted in #decolonization.

Ushering in a white-dominated socialist society on stolen land is not a victory.

About to hop on a book discussion of No Shortcuts: Organizing in the New Guilded Age

#DSA #Socialism

I might live toot with the hashtag #noshortcuts

The book goes on to highlight several case studies that both support her point and are riveting stories of success in the face of serious opposition.

#DSA chapters are reading the book together and the author is leading video-conference book club sessions -

This is an excellent deep dive into worker-owned coops that are trying to contest power and build #socialism.

#coop #solidarityeconomy

means.media is an anti-capitalist, cooperatively owned original content streaming site. Basically Netflix for anarchists.

I just donated $5 to their crowdfunding campaign. It looks VERY rad.

@Matt_Noyes @ntnsndr @cooler_ranch This is also partially inspired by my time in Durham where I learned that the Self-Help Credit Union was formed by workers who wanted buy their shut down factory and turn it into a worker-owned cooperative.

I am LOVING the book Joyful Militancy: Building Thriving Resistance in Toxic Times. Commentary to come soon...

I love that the #JacksonRising folks leave no revolutionary stone unturned. They are not afraid to learn from them all and apply them to their own situation in creative ways. #socialism #mutualism #leninism #anarchism #blacknationalism #antiimperialism #indigenism it's all on the table.

Reminds in some ways of #Bakur and #Rojava and revolutionary Kurds unique politics.

Just bought Jackson Rising: The Struggle for Economic Democracy and Black Self-Determination in Jackson, Mississippi.

I've joined a book club here in Denver to discuss it. Super excited to draw lessons from it for the coop and racial justice movement out here.
