jarofpiss posted:it is good to make an explicit and repeated point of looking to fill leadership positions with people from different backgrounds imho I was at the Queens DSA meeting last night and I agree. Really dug the camaraderie and looking forward to the work ahead!

police unions almost universally back illegal and immoral actions against the disenfranchised and vulnerable when the perpetrator is a cop; there is also long history of police, local to federal, actively crushing unions and leftist movements in the u.s. maybe danny has good responses to these sorts of concerns but either not realizing there would be intense concern or realizing and consciously downplaying that part of his resume as a response shows astoundingly poor judgement at best

BrainParasite posted:Look. First, he was not as upfront as he could have been about his previous work. He pretty clearly hid his connection to a police union. It wasn't listed it as explicitly as other jobs in his extensive CV. The right way to do this would've been to get in front of it. You trust him. That's fine. He's done nothing to earn the trust of the organization outside of Austin. the first part follows from the second part too, e.g. I'm wondering *why* he hid his connection; it may just be he realized it looks bad and didn't want to deal with the fallout, but that's a pretty dumb decision if so and should preclude holding his position

TrilliontonNixon posted:While we're on the topic of the Russian Revolution, does anyone have any recommendations for historical works covering that period? I remember Chapo had on a guy who had written a book on 1917. that was sci-fi author China Miéville's October; haven't picked it up yet, but it sounded like an interesting perspective - Miéville's been a leftist for a long time.

working group question: our WG recently adopted an endorsement/sponsorship policy that requires an online membership vote if we get a co-sponsorship/endorsement request sufficiently far away from our monthly meetings, but we didn't really specify how the vote should take place i'm trying ballotbin, which seems like it will work, but just curious if anyone has tried anything else in similar situations

belated reply, but this was v. cool and good most of my dsa work has been in a nyc working group and the latitude we have from citywide to explore, start, and run campaigns that wg membership feels is important has been great from a trust and getting important things done perspective

Syndlig posted:so i see the thread has decided to descend into boring baby poo poo for dumb idiots so instead i'm going to talk about stuff that actually matters and post pictures from an action we did today. a bunch of comrades from all over Texas drove down to Laredo to stage a protest at the "Laredo Processing Facility", a detention center run by CoreCivic (a.k.a. Corrections Corporation of America), a for-profit private prison company that partners with ICE to detain asylum seekers, torture them, and use them as slave labour. super awesome praxis

if it hasn’t been contemplated or planned already, a rally with speakers has usually been good for nyc marches that have a dsa contingent or have been sponsored by a nyc dsa working group, at least in my experience

Rated PG-34 posted:we definitely need speakers for the march itself. I was thinking of something low key where people could at least gather and talk i'm biased towards quiet bars, especially since it's cold, but the other factor is how many people you're expecting after definitely bring sign-up sheets, pens, etc. though edit: does the coalition have nyc dsa or a group/branch as a formal co-sponsor or endorser? if so, definitely reach out to the nyc dsa media team for social media promotion - feel free to pm me if you need any help there Crusader has issued a correction as of 22:11 on Jan 13, 2019 |

my hopefully only take on the whole momentum and bernie thing: if sanders runs, great, but even solely electoral work is more than just the presidential race, so it would be great for those so motivated to work at congressional and local levels as well. and if there’s a new wave of people flowing into dsa from another sanders run, that is great too, but i am assuming said people will want to do more than all their direct all their energy on a sanders run, so having a chapter and presumably national org that has viable avenues for participation along labor, healthcare, housing, feminist, immigration, climate, etc. lines to build a socialist future outside of what a president sanders could ever accomplish even in an ideal term seems just as important to me this is a long-winded way of saying that schlesinger's article spoke of the dsa that i recognize, and enjoy spending time in/on; hell, i had a local dsa meeting last night that had cool reportbacks concerning support work people had done to support the migrant exodus, discussion about new directions for ongoing campaigns, and input from brand new dsa members - that’s the sort of thing that makes me want to keep doing this and think we have a fighting chance

my mind keeps jumping back to the shutdown ending almost instantaneously due to air travel workers (atc and flight attendants at least) striking i think this effectively removes any possibility of trump getting everything he wants, because i don't believe any of the workers who went on strike are going to wait days and weeks to do it again however, i'm wondering if this threat can also be leveraged to push dems away from any lovely compromise "comprehensive immigration reform" deal... dunno what this would look like right now as a campaign though i'm not on any labor working group so dunno if this is something that dsa labor nationwide is contemplating already, but i would hope so edit: also going to start reaching out inside nyc-dsa to see if this is something we can effectively push on, may just be a bad brain idea of mine that goes nowhere Crusader has issued a correction as of 20:34 on Jan 26, 2019 |
