Bagel loves Denver. They’re both around the same age, and were strays that we found while walking my other dog about a year apart. They’re the youngest of 4
Kshama Sawant argues that lasting gains come from independent working class organization rather than trying to reform the Democratic Party from within. She presents her experience in Seattle as evidence that electoral victories are only effective when backed by organized mass action and calls for building an independent workers’ party outside the two-party system.
In Nebraska, the Democratic Party is attempting to prevent The “Working People’s Party” from obtaining ballot access by deploying the spoiler myth. They claim that Democrats are the best chance to defeat MAGA, therefore alternatives shouldn’t be permitted onto the ballot. This is obviously a ruse because even the Republican Party is opposing the WPP efforts to collect petition signatures required to obtain ballot access.
The Working Families Party, which is a satellite of the Democrats, is suing the WPP in Nebraska in an attempt to siphon off resources & further dissuade them from pursuing ballot access. So it’s clear that both establishment parties are well aware of the threat even the chance of a genuine left alternative would represent to their stranglehold on power.
Hilariously, Socialist Alternative, which is totally unrelated to any of the parties, tabled in Lincoln to build support for an upcoming public meeting. A Republican noticed them, assumed that they must be in league with the WPP & made this post conflating SAlt with WPP.
We found Bagel stray in FL last month. He was in rough shape but he’s since recovered & now is the newest member of our family. Bagel is around 2 years old, very good with people & gets along with our other pets. He loves hugs & kisses, especially from his new friends!
Iconic trans activist Marsha P. Johnson said, "No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us," correctly articulating the interconnected nature of our struggles as working-class people.
The fight for LGBTQ liberation today is not separate from the fight against ICE and the rest of Trump's reactionary agenda. Young people have seen this most clearly, with many young trans and queer people playing leading roles in anti-ICE student walkouts we saw earlier this year.
The whipping up of attacks on immigrants is part of the same divide-and-rule strategy used against queer people, and the best fightback is a united working-class struggle against all oppression. Swipe through to learn more, and find the full analysis at socialistalternative.org.
Black lives cannot be treated as disposable. Under capitalism, working-class communities are too often denied justice while the powerful are protected and grieving families are left to fight for answers on their own. We need more than promises, we need a socialist society where all public institutions are democratically accountable to working-class people.
Justice for Tonea. Fight for socialism.
Despite the rain, 12 comrades were able to politicize corporate Pride!
We need a new civil rights movement to fight back against police brutality. We need strikes, occupations, and walkouts demanding racial justice. We need a new, multiracial working class party, not corrupt Black Democrats. Finally, we need a socialist revolution to replace this decrepit capitalist system which breeds police brutality!

Denver is 1 of 4! 2 cats + 2 dogs
We adopted him from Peggy Adams Animal Rescue
Socialist Alternative will be cohosting a teach-in to discuss the radical history of Pride & what lessons we can draw to fight MAGA today
Pride didn’t begin as a corporate celebration. It began as a rebellion.
The first Pride was led by working class queer people, trans people, sex workers, and people of color fighting back against police repression and discrimination at Stonewall.
That history matters today because attacks on LGBTQ people are escalating across the country.
Join us for a Pride Teach-In focused on the radical history of Pride and what it will take to fight back against the right wing offensive.
June 20 at 1 PM at the Palm Beach Quaker House in Lake Worth.
