Hey, as long as you guys are talking about what to do in Virginia, reminder that Cheryl Turpin is running in the special election for the 85th District of VA and is in a close-but-winnable race, please send her your power and your volunteering. All she's got is a facebook page and a hype man, let's do the work.

Taran posted:I too will be at this Boston DSA thing on the 9th (and possibly even at the movie-thing on the 12th), as I also want to have "get more involved with politics and stuff" as a resolution this year. I look forward to meeting y'all there. Anyone in the thread who's in a red district, tomorrow morning, call your representative's office and tell them that you'll be looking forward to hearing of their principled stand against this bizarre and amoral attempt to defang the Office of Congressional Ethics. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/house-republicans-gut-their-own-oversight-233111

get that OUT of my face posted:I'm quite sure they don't give a poo poo about what commons schmucks like us have to say. Individually? No. But collectively? Who the gently caress do you think votes them in to office? The bill got pushed back today in large part due to republican representatives getting flooded with thousands of calls. Here's a calling script to demand to know how your representative voted: https://twitter.com/derekcnel/status/816277538519601152 Here's a link to a live-updated spreadsheet recording the answers people are getting: https://twitter.com/kelsey_ah/status/816336960562331648 Draw your cell phone like a gun and let em' feel some heat.

OhFunny posted:I'm being told about the DSA's Slack platform. Is anyone on this? Is it useful? I'm on it, it's 3 parts shitposting to 1 part serious strategy discussion. It has some issues - it's a free account so we can only keep 10K messages in the archive at a time, after that they drop off, so there's a limit to how far back we can search on it. We're looking in to superior options now, but it's an ongoing project. RiotGearEpsilon has issued a correction as of 03:50 on Jan 14, 2017 |

tower time posted:Their twitter was last used in 2015 to give condolences to Joe Biden for the death of his son, and their facebook was last active 2 days before the 2016 Iowa Caucuses to share an O' Malley post. Good luck, brother.

On the 23rd of April there will be a livestream broadcast by Our Revolution - a 'state of the revolution' address which will discuss what's been done so far and with news about what will happen in the future. If you're involved with Our Revolution at all, you likely have another source which is already keeping you in the loop; otherwise, you can look for local livestream watch parties from this page: http://map.ourrevolution.com/#zipcode=&distance=50&sort=time&f%5B%5D=state-of-the-revolution-livestream

LinYutang posted:Was at a minor state convention a few days ago, Bernie folks swept it. Best part was when the establishment folks were getting more and more frustrated at their losses and one of then shrieked "sure, you all are pandering to the Bernie crowd, but what about JOE MANCHIN" unless you guys are having your state convention in west virginia I don't see how joe manchin is your problem
