A GOP presidential and congressional win in 2024 would bring a national abortion ban, national right to work law; more tax cuts for the rich; an eliminationist program for transgender people; Jim Crow 2; a new McCarthyism and COINTELPRO for the left.

An authoritarian bloc with a fascist core is driving for control of all branches of the federal government; the rest is detail.

McCarthy got his gavel, but MAGA pulls his strings. The GOP is comfy with armed fascists, SCOTUS is rolling back the 20th century. Time to get busy.

‘The main political responsibility of the Left is to identify, assemble, animate, and unite the social forces capable of accomplishing the primary breakthrough required at each moment.’

Core questions of political strategy animate the debate roiling DSA. The whole Left has a stake in the outcome.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine spotlights the interconnected crises facing humanity—and the need to link global movements if we are to survive them.

A hard look at the balance of strengths between the MAGA and anti-MAGA blocs shows that pro-democracy forces must stretch for new levels of coordination and strategy.

Democracy defenders need to unify, strategize, and pull from deep wells of conviction to turn back the MAGA tide.

When we demonstrate on the ground that radicals are the most reliable and effective fighters against the mortal threat of Trumpism, we maximize our chances of gaining support for our perspective and our organizations.
