Larry Website has been posting about how they're getting requests for chapters in Iowa, North Dakota, Arkansas. Not necessarily convenient locations even if you live in those states, but it's growing into the Midwest and South.

the DSA meeting in boston this week was actually larger than the one right after the election, probably around 80~ people. pretty exciting that it just seems to keep growing.

You had walkouts? Even at the 300 person meetings in Brooklyn I've never seen that.

this is Houston and I think liberals get lost sometimes and show up. we were about 10 chairs short so had a number of people standing and they left when the speaker started talking about public, private, secret, communication and if you're doing anything illegal do it only face to face with no phones around.

they were talking about cops and stuff working with corps on social media info and how stingray surveillance works so I think it made a couple liberals nervous. I thought that it was good because it means it's filtering out soft social dems that don't want to work

v good dsa meeting tonight. had like 40 people and a whole bunch of first timers. had an environmental action speaker asking for civil disobedience signups to train for arrests and stuff. had an infosec speaker that walked everyone through tor and internet/phone security stuff for activists. had a call to action for a leftist coalition action on the 20th. very militant themed. only had two walkouts lol.

The Effective Leftism thread wants to hear about DSA meetings & what kind of activity they have been promoting. I quoted you over there but you might want to speak for yourself. idk

I'm curious to hear from people who have attended meetings DSA or otherwise, what sort of tools are they suggesting? What other organizations are they promoting? Anything besides the usual protests and marches and meetups worth mentioning?

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

Hmm, is this as stupid as the collapse of the ISN in the UK over the racist chair?

Actually it's less, because it's a forum on a website rather than a political organisation.

She didn't even post any cat girls to the socialism subreddit. They were just on her twitter and the mods banned her for that.
I think one of the comments summed it up best. "when you white knight females so hard you hurt actually existing women"

Edit: beginning to wonder if the socialism subreddit is set up to push people away from socialism, because there's major drama there every drat week.

single childless nazis who masturbate to anime just got their idiot king elected to america's highest office and socialists have responded by purging a catgirl artist from their internet club

r/socialism is exactly as good as it should be. "memes" that make it to the rest of reddit, #inspirational quotes, people asking why everyone hates obama. r/communism is probably the best thing on reddit that isn't cat gifs.
