for St Louis people--there's organizing stuff going down on Weds at 7 pm. their new twitter (@stlouisdsa) has the details. it's on Cherokee St, so you can go out and get your drink on afters. i'll be there, because the city that birthed Michael Harrington (hell, he and I went to the same high school--there's a little display about him in our library as a famous alum) deserves to do right by his memory. (also in honor of @larrywebsite, i propose that any DSA gang-tag has the phrase "Trust The Process" in it.)

see, this is where STL DSA did it right: meeting opens with a "thought for the day" basic intro, what we're about, the Org Com talks about themselves, what they want, where they're coming from open floor: what should we be focusing on? breakout session: mid-sized groups based around a few common topics breakout groups report back with findings, we all agree on certain things close, announce next meeting time/date/location (though we're still working on the next location, as we're trying to broaden the horizons), we invite people to meet up and where to go for drinks afterwards ...and the only real issue we had was getting the projector/computer to work right to put up slides/documents (problem was: we had a bad cable) that, and our Twitter posted a picture of the Little Red Book with Matt Carpenter replacing Chairman Mao (because we're not Maoists, we're Marpists, and if anyone tries that LOLOLOL DEADSPIN BFIBS poo poo on us you'll regret it). plus I'm working on getting a classic Lenin picture posted with Vladimir Tarasenko's face replacing V.I. Ulianov's, because we don't have an NBA team and thus are down the pecking order. Troy Queef has issued a correction as of 07:06 on Feb 28, 2017 |

STL DSA is having a potluck tonight, and in true St Louis fashion we're having to mention that we have not only vegan and vegetarian options, but also options for people that don't like Provel cheese. (And anyone who joins in on the STL-shaming on Twitter can gently caress right off.)

our local is having our monthly meeting this Saturday so all this poo poo should be discussed ahead of the Chicago trip. and in true STL fashion, we're following it up by heading to a member's house (with a sizable yard) and having a BBQ. also we're making a visit to a shooting range later on in the week.

the best part is that the Momentum and Praxis slates aren't really directly opposing each other, meaning that you/your local's reps can pick and choose which people/parts of the slates they want (because both have really good points and I support)

Coolness Averted posted:Has Bruenig ever actually come out as anti-choice though? This keeps coming up in the vague sort of "Well no, but she REALLY IS! We got her to admit it!" because of her personal moral compass. I've never seen anything beyond she personally doesn't approve of abortion, no "and I will work to prevent other people from having access." here's the main thrust of their opposition to her https://twitter.com/ebruenig/status/976291616540344320

IGD will not shut up about the Austin branch and how great they are, which is one of the reasons I stopped reading them. (That and the Crimethinc posts.) I forget what the Maoist group in STL is called, but I do remember reading their site and they were focused on the stupidest of issues, like admissions into SLU.
