wake up

🚨PSL STATEMENT — Two cowards set off an explosive outside the home of Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez at 12:45am on Saturday. We stand with Byron against this act of anti-socialist terrorism! The explosion, which occurred while Byron's three children slept inside, shattered windows and damaged the facade of the building. Video evidence shows two men exiting an SUV to place and light what appears to be a large firework on the corner outside his home. Thankfully, no one was injured. This should be seen for what it is — an act of political terror meant to intimidate an independent socialist. Without speculating, this attack comes as Byron is fighting the Democratic machine for ballot access. Byron is currently running for Congress in Illinois fourth district as an independent socialist. He is fighting to abolish ICE terror, for average Americans to have access to healthcare and to end the billionaire control of society. There is a long history of political terror against the socialist movement that seeks to extinguish working people's dreams of a better world. But they will not succeed. Instead of backing down, we will organize harder. Instead of shutting up, we will shout louder. Instead of submitting to fear, we will build power. The bombs of the past did not stop the labor movement from winning the eight hour day, or the Civil Rights Movement from expanding democracy and they will not stop the socialist movement. We call on all our comrades, allies, and community members to stand with Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez at this moment!

Five days until Juneteenth 🙌🏾

Remember blind Rohingya refugee Nurul Amin Shah Alam? It's a pattern, not an accident. ICE is strategically killing refugees.

The idea that Elon Musk worked harder than every person alive and who has ever lived is a very stupid and immature fairytale. Wake up. He’s robbing us.

I want a refund on every minute I spent in 8th grade learning that monopolies are illegal and that our government would protect us from greedy men....

This is that stupid rumour again. Watch the movie I Love Boosters and see what the movie is about. If I was trying to persuade people to be Boosters, that'd be low goals. There's way more to do. Also, illegal business comes from material necessity, not culture.

Anti-imperialist scholar and activist Walter Rodney was killed on this day in 1980. "By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master?"

✊🏾JUNETEENTH WEBINAR, THURS, JUNE 18, 8PM ET/5PM PT: Join us for a necessary webinar discussion on Juneteenth and the fight for Black liberation today. Register: bit.ly/psljuneteenth This June 19 marks 161 years since the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were officially declared free. All across the country, Juneteenth celebrations are commemorating this historic milestone of the Black liberation movement. As Trump and the far-right ramp up their attacks on working people broadly in an attempt to rewrite our history and strip us of our civil rights entirely, we are confronted with a critical question: what must we do to end the war on Black America, once and for all? Originally born from the struggle for abolition, Juneteenth was made into a federal holiday in 2021 in the aftermath of the valiant struggle against racist police terror. Juneteenth reminds us of the will that our people have always had to fight, the role that fight has historically played in achieving the basic rights we have today, and the necessary role of organization in our ongoing fights for freedom. Hear and discuss with PSL organizers and cultural workers Claudia De la Cruz (NYC), Jasmine Nicole Williams (Atlanta), Rachel Domond (Houston) and Saidi Moseley (NYC) on the real history of the struggle for Black liberation in the U.S. and what it will fundamentally require of all of us to achieve it today.
