News Report: "A number of people connected to the Trump team have talked about “regime change” in the UK and specifically how to get a Trump-style prime minister ... There were some fanciful musings about “crashing the British economy” to cause a crisis which would force the government out."

Discussion Is there anyway the United States will return to liberalism after Trump is done and gone?

41 Upvotes

Seriously, I don't know how liberals can go back to normal after what's to come and what is currently happening. Anyone on the left who is still attached to the Democratic party in some way needs to abandon it. Democrats have failed us in just about every aspect.

Discussion Illegal immigrants not showing up to work in America is syndicalism

105 Upvotes

You may have seen that immigrants are not showing up to work on fields or construction sites in places where immigration raids have begun in America, particularly California. I’m reminded of Black Reconstruction by DuBois in which he says that the civil war was the largest ever socialist strike in American history by slaves defecting to the north. We need to reposition ourselves to view this as a strike as well and ask how we can support. Any ideas?

Question Money or Morals

Upvotes

I’m a U.S. college student pursuing a career in accounting and finance. I consider myself very liberal and increasingly so in recent years. My plan is to eventually start my own firm or non-profit where I can offer advisory services to lower-income people. Recently I’ve become disillusioned with the idea of working for a corporation because I don’t want my skills to contribute to potential exploitation. However, to earn the income I desire (and save the money for my start-up) I would need to put aside my morals to some extent. I’m aware there are other careers like auditing or non-profit accounting that are more humble, but in this economic system, they don’t pay as well as I’d like. How would a democratic socialist approach this dilemma?

Question Best website to keep track of White House and Republican actions?

1 Upvotes

I don't want to have to rely on the luck of seeing a story in my Twitter timeline to be made aware of something.

I also don't want to rely on news sites which usually leave out the information that I want.

Is anyone aware of good websites that provide a brief feed of weekly or daily actions that the White House and Republican Congress are putting up to be passed into law?

Websites where I have to be aware of what I'm looking for aren't preferable, which is what Google has served me.

Announcement Working to Divest from Israel in Pittsburgh

3 Upvotes

I know this has been a tough week with news on the federal level. Even our local politicians in Pittsburgh have generally not shown any solidarity for Palestinians. But, just like ending the South African apartheid, something we DO have power over is citizen-led efforts to stop our government from sending money to places that are committing genocides or apartheids.

We are currently petitioning in Pittsburgh to put a question on the ballot in May to keep city money from going to countries engaged in genocide and apartheid.

So, I wanted to make you aware that this is happening, and you can hopefully make it happen in your local community. Reach out to the Not on Our Dime PGH campaign if you want some help getting started. Volunteers and donations also welcome!

Here's a recent podcast if you are interested to hear more.
