A Democratic congresswoman tried to kill herself twice last year and we're only finding out now six months after she narrowly lost an election.

I love Mamdani won. But the bulk of his coalition are elite, white people and Bushwick crunchy granolas. If the classes and races we, as DSA members, care about generally don't want to vote for us, I struggle to see this as a genuine win? We must contend with this more deeply.

Germany's new normal: Pride marches being targeted by neo-Nazis and other right-wing extremists. Why is this happening now? And what can LGBTQ+ activists (and politicians) do to keep participants safe? I wrote about it for Context News: context.news/socioeconomic-…
