It’s all in the name – Democrats first, Socialists second (if at all). If you want to see what the DSA is really all about, just have yourselves a long, steamy gawk at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It’s about sucking the blood of the Left by tempting us with fake “progressive” politicians who insist that the DNC is an institution worth saving and wasting our time and energy before zombifying the People’s movements and shuffling them off to the Movement Graveyard. But, hell; my peeps at the Socialist Equality Party and WSWS lay it out a lot better in words than I can at the moment. Here’s a couple of points from the SEP’s Ninth Congress Resolution re: the DSA, Jacobin Magazine & ilk:

16. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the initial beneficiary of this radicalization. But the DSA is not a socialist party. It is a faction of the Democratic Party, and its principal role is to block the development of an independent political movement of the working class, to capture the movement toward socialism and confine it within the framework of the capitalist two-party system. Wherever it holds office, this function is on display. In New York, Mamdani governs in coordination with the Democratic establishment and the Trump White House, imposing austerity on the workers who elected him, while DSA-aligned officials preside over the destruction of public education and expanding police budgets across the country.

17. The DSA’s central claim, that the Democratic Party can be transformed from within into an instrument of progressive change, is refuted by all historical experience. It is also exposed by the party’s own response to the DSA’s electoral victories. The Democrats’ “centrist” wing has issued a manifesto reaffirming that its members are “capitalists” and launching a new witch-hunt against the party’s own left.

…and here’s a quick rundown of DSA escapades over the last year or two:

> Jacobin’s defense of the Trump–Mamdani pact and the capitalist state
> How the Democratic Socialists of America helped sell out the Philadelphia municipal workers
> After NYC elections, Jacobin offers services of DSA to Democratic establishment, union bureaucracy
> Jacobin advises union bureaucracy on how to respond to wave of contract rejections
> Ocasio-Cortez says pro-Palestinian demonstrations should be ‘shut down’

Kevin Reed reports at the World Socialist Web Site:
The President’s response encapsulates the contempt of the entire ruling elite for the conditions of sailors and other military men and women in the war against Iran. For personnel who have spent more than 250 consecutive days at sea—and amid multiple reported suicide attempts—Trump makes clear that the health and lives of American soldiers are expendable.

…and the Donster also actually said this – out loud – to an event at a police academy in New Jersey. And if you’ve seen the same war I’ve been watching since March, y’all know fersure that Trump really has jumped off the deck.

According to this Reuters report from a week or so back, the USA is basically running out of missiles in Iran. Like, actually running the hell out. I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying this.

Meanwhile, this goddamn fat-ass loser still insists that Iran won’t have a nuclear weapon, and that Iran owes reparations to the United States for all sorts of never-proven deaths or other sketchy conspiracies in a typically off-the-hook tweet.

Honestly, this clown could post a tweet threatening to hunt down the Iranian PM and personally cut off the PM’s balls and make him eat them and wrap it with “Thank you for your attention to this matter”.

When I first peeped that aerial shot on Reuters, it wouldn’t leave my mind.

On the one hand, it’s another bucket of your garden-variety shallow-ass Liberal pearl-clutching at seeing the Evil Orange Man giving the job of restoring the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to a company which contributed heavily to his campaign and which promptly turned the project into a National Lampoon movie.

On the other hand, though – the part that wouldn’t leave me after seeing that Reuters foto – on a much deeper level than simply Trump doing his usual nouveau-riche alcoholic country-club vulgarian shit, it was much more symbolic of an empire in rapid decline, possibly even already at the point where the Emperor is appointing his horse to the Senate. It doesn’t so much say something about Trump specifically as it does about American society, culture and institutions in general.
