🚨 DSA’s Michaela Branagan Says Militant Labor Organizing is Happening “On the DL” At Socialism 2026, DSA’s Michaela Branagan said she is “not particularly a constitutionalist” and suggested it would be “one step in the right direction” if the Constitution did not “primarily protect private property like ours does.” She then turned to a much less visible side of DSA organizing, what Branagan herself describes as “radical militant democratic unionism.” Branagan says DSA members are building a “current of radical militant democratic unionism” inside unions and that this work often happens “on the DL” through “strategic organizing.” She says the labor side of DSA gets far less attention than its electoral work precisely because people do not see what its members are doing inside organized labor. Branagan even credits socialist labor organizing, in part, with creating a more “militant sea of struggle” inside unions. The electoral victories get the headlines. Her point is that a quieter part of DSA’s project is being built inside workplaces and unions. I’m going to turn this into a thread and pull together some concrete examples of what Branagan is talking about.

🚨 DSA National Co-Chair: We Use the Democratic Ballot Line as a Vehicle for “Socialist Power” and “the Democratic Party leadership hates that, and we think that's great.” Ashik Siddique made the strategy explicit: DSA runs candidates on the Democratic ballot line, and it also works to “throw out bad Democrats,” but the larger goal is building “independent power” that can take on both parties. “We are trying to organize to throw out bad Democrats, but we're also building socialist power, and the point for us is to build independent power through our organization.” “Mostly we do run people on the ballot line in primaries on the Democratic Party ballot line, but we have our independent power, and the Democratic Party leadership hates that, and we think that's great.” Sure sounds like DSA is a parasite and the Democratic Party, for some reason, refuses to rip it off.

DSA Co-Chair Ashik Siddique laid out the group’s strategy for using the Democratic Party as a launching pad for an independent socialist party. Siddique said DSA is a “big tent” that includes members who want to reform Democrats, those calling for a clean break, and others pursuing a “dirty break” using the party’s ballot line until they are forced out. He described the prevailing “party surrogate model” as running DSA candidates under the Democratic label while building the infrastructure for a future socialist party. Representing the DSA’s Groundwork Caucus, Siddique made the goal explicit: “We are trying to build the party, and in many ways we’re already doing it.” It is important to understand that Siddique is the DSA’s respectable frontman, the buttoned up figure they present so attention drifts away from members calling to abolish the family or boasting that New York City is flying people in for trans healthcare and footing the bill. It is an open admission that the DSA’s long game is to hollow out the Democratic Party from the inside until it is ready to replace it or compete against it directly, which, as you will hear later, is exactly what they do in deep blue areas.

🚨 DSA Is Already Plotting Its 2027–2028 Power Grab DSA NPC member Sidney Carlson White was on tonight’s The DSA Difference call telling chapters to start preparing now for the 2027 and 2028 elections. “DSA thinks in years and decades, not news cycles.” DSA is not resting on its laurels. Its national leadership is already thinking about the next campaign cycle, the next slate of candidates, and how to use national infrastructure to make those candidates more disciplined, more fearless, and more aligned with DSA’s “Workers Deserve More” program, which I exposed last month. White is explicit that this is not just about winning elections. DSA sees elections, unions, street protests, tenant organizing, and national coordination as pieces of one “holistic political vision.”

🚨 DSA Top National Leader: “We’re Fighting To Have Worker Control Of Every Aspect Of Our Lives” — “There’s No Democracy in the Democratic Party” On the Progressive Victory stream, DSA National Political Committee Co-Chair Megan Romer — one of the two top figures in the organization alongside Ashik Siddique — says the quiet part out loud. “We’re not fighting for a kinder, gentler capitalism… we’re not fighting to soften the edges.” Instead, she lays out the real goal: “worker control of every aspect of our lives” — housing, workplaces, and communities. Romer also draws a hard line between DSA and the Democratic Party. She says there is “no democracy” in the Democratic Party, that it is run by donors and patronage networks, and contrasts that with DSA’s model of collective decision-making and explicitly socialist organizing. Then she makes the ideological break unmistakable: “We are explicitly socialist… we’re not the Democrats… stop calling us that.” That matters, because DSA is often treated as just another faction inside the broader Democratic coalition. Romer is saying the opposite. She is describing a separate political project with a separate theory of power. And she openly pitches DSA on those terms: not just voting every few years, but joining an organization where you can help decide campaigns, shape organizing priorities, and influence political direction yourself.

🚨 Meet the National DSA Leader Defending a “Community Force Under Communism” Hazel Williams sits on DSA’s National Political Committee, formerly co-chaired California DSA, and helped craft the language in DSA’s new platform calling for “steps towards abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state.” Williams makes clear that “abolish the police” does not necessarily mean no enforcement structure ever. It means abolishing police as a force of the capitalist state. In her own words, she does not mean abolishing “some community force under communism” that can “hold each other accountable.” The leaders from the “Commie Caucuses,” DSA’s own internal term, are often the ones pushing the organization further and further left, while the media still debates whether DSA really means the radical things it says. As media talking heads rush to condemn Trump for calling DSA electeds Communist, have they bothered to look at DSA’s board of directors, its National Political Committee, which is now majority Communist?

David Sacks: The DSA is taking over the Democratic Party, here are their radical policy goals “They actually say they want to abolish the Senate. They want to abolish the carceral state, that means basically police forces and prisons. They want to abolish ICE and grant amnesty for all, they do not support any deportations whatsoever. They want to replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary that is chosen by and subordinate to Congress. So this would be a total makeover of our constitutional system. They want public ownership of major corporations. They want to defund the Department of War. This is a very radical organization, and you would laugh at a lot of these types of proposals, but you can't really laugh at it anymore because these guys are taking over the Democratic Party. They do not actually see the traditional establishment wing of the Democratic Party as an ally. They see it as an obstacle. A DSA co-chair said, ‘We're using the Democratic Party as a ballot access vehicle, not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it's useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home.’ So the DSA is coming for the Democratic Party. It controls the base now, it's where all the energy is. I think this takeover will continue.”

🚨 New DSA Talking Point Just Dropped! Communists Inside DSA Are Apparently Just “Highly Obscure Historical Strains” Paola Ramos of The Moment podcast point-blank asked DSA’s national co-chairs whether they consider themselves communists and what separates communism from DSA. Megan Romer took the question, but never really answered either part. Instead, she describes DSA as a “big tent” stretching from social democrats to “highly obscure historical strains” that she sometimes struggles to understand. But she never mentions Maoists. She never mentions Trotskyists. She never even mentions Marxist-Leninists, despite her own affiliation with the Red Star Caucus. These “highly obscure historical strains” wield real power inside the organization, actively shaping its policies and priorities. Romer eventually defines democratic socialism as “transferring power from the ruling class to the working class,” including through elections, labor unions, and tenant unions.

🚨 Live from Socialism 2026, DSA national co-chair Megan Romer shares her socialist reading list from what she calls her “happy place,” a socialist bookstore. She recommends Mike Davis, praises Hammer and Hoe, and then turns to Vincent Bevins’s If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution, a book about the protest and uprising wave of the 2010s and why so many of those movements failed to convert street energy into durable political power. Romer’s takeaway says a lot about the DSA political project. “We needed the party to be there. We needed the organization to be there to absorb the energy and to funnel it toward actually grabbing power.”

🚨 Hasan Piker Is the DSA’s Cheerleader-in-Chief: “I Don’t Think I Can Physically Support the DSA More” This supercut is a perfect look at how Hasan Piker goes to bat for the DSA. Hasan phone banks for DSA-backed congressional candidates, recruits volunteers, amplifies their campaigns to his massive audience, and tells one viewer, “I don’t think I can physically support the DSA more than I already have.” After a few days in the Big Apple, Piker says he is still in New York because “there is a lot happening in this city for socialism,” while praising the DSA for what they’ve built and for “chipping away at the Democratic Party machine.” Now he is taking the act to Denver today, where he is appearing with Melat Kiros, the democratic socialist running in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District.

🚨 At Socialism 2026, DSA’s Griffin Mahon gives a useful glimpse at how the organization is building toward May Day 2028. If a chapter held “a social or a movie night or a picnic or a barbecue this year,” Mahon says the goal should be a rally next year. And if the coalition included “Indivisible and a couple of people from PSL and the local teachers union,” the next step is to bring in even more unions. That coalition mix is worth noticing. Indivisible and PSL occupy very different political spaces, while DSA can serve as a bridge between them through labor organizing. PSL’s ties to the Singham network have also drawn congressional scrutiny. By 2028, Mahon says DSA wants to “develop our fundraising capacity” so that when workers are out on strike, chapters can help “tip” the balance toward workers by staffing picket lines, keeping morale up, and making sure strikers are fed.

🚨 From Bernie to “Full-Fledged Communists”: Inside DSA’s Radicalization Christopher Winston, known by many for his online moniker BlackRedGuard, is never one to hide behind language or dodge a question. He says people who entered DSA through Bernie Sanders have since become “full-fledged communists.” He says younger members are drawn to Red Rabbits, DSA security team largely focused on protests, because they like seeing DSA “actually taking this stuff seriously.” And a lot has changed in the last few years for Winston as he became a national DSA leader. He is co-chair of National AfroSoc, sits on the steering committee of a national Red Rabbits Security Commission, leads a local Red Rabbits subcommittee, and serves as a political education co-chair. Meanwhile, he openly talks about “toppling and overthrowing this shit,” says “the proletariat must eventually eat up the bourgeoisie,” upholds “protracted people’s war,” and would like to see the state become a Maoist “proletarian weapon.” These are tame considering other past comments on his. What I wish journalists interviewing DSA leaders would do is move beyond simply accepting the “big tent” explanation and actually press them on the figures gaining influence inside the organization. Christopher Winston is a perfect example. If someone holds multiple local and national roles while openly advocating Marxist-Leninist-Maoist politics, “protracted people’s war,” and revolutionary state power, DSA’s leadership should be asked directly what that says about the organization’s trajectory.

🚨 DSA Elevates Organizer Training Young Socialists to Infiltrate Workplaces and Radicalize Unions James Hernández and Mae Bracelin, both Bread & Roses–backed labor organizers, have won election as YDSA co-chairs and will now sit on DSA’s National Political Committee. Hernández, an organizer with Florida International University YDSA, says young people are “downwardly mobile” and should commit themselves to class struggle by taking jobs in strategically important sectors such as health care, education, and Amazon. She says 400 YDSA members have already committed to “industrializing.” Organizers are developing cohorts to politically educate them, prepare them to enter the workforce, and help YDSA chapters identify major employers to “salt collectively.” Salting means deliberately taking a job at a targeted workplace to organize it from within. (See the thread below for more on this!) Hernández wants these young socialists to make unions more “militant” and turn organized labor into a vehicle for YDSA and DSA’s broader political agenda. Employers are already wary of recent graduates importing campus activism into the workplace. YDSA is now organizing a pipeline to do exactly that.

🚨 Is This Chris Cuomo Surrendering to DSA? Is DSA the Future of the Democratic Party? This Chris Cuomo segment almost feels like a surrender to the DSA. Cuomo frames the Democratic Socialists of America as the Democrats’ best shot at capturing populist affordability anger, then brings on DSA co-chair Ashik Siddique to make the socialist case. And who is the counterpoint? John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan, a Democratic mega-donor law-firm guy warning that socialism leads to Cuba and Venezuela. If the public face of the anti-DSA argument inside Democratic politics is a wealthy establishment Democrat telling people to trust the old Bill Clinton model while sounding like a Cold War PSA, then DSA has already won the optics fight before Ashik even opens his mouth. The worst part is that Morgan is basically right about the danger. He is just the worst possible messenger for it. If I had his ear, I would have told him to stop doing generic “socialism bad” warnings and get specific. Hit DSA on its own record. Hit them on their repeated delegations to Cuba and Venezuela, the praise for socialist regimes, the constant laundering of authoritarian politics through “solidarity,” and the new DSA platform coming this July, which I broke the news on. Saying “socialism bad” in the abstract does nothing. The argument has to be specific. DSA is bad by its own words and actions. By the delegations it sends, the regimes it flatters, the platform it passes, and the radicals it keeps elevating. Cuomo basically tees Siddique up as young and plugged into the future of the party. Morgan comes off like a dinosaur. And if he is serious about taking back his party, whoever is advising him on how to talk about DSA is doing him no favors.

🚨 DSA Co-Chairs Squirm When Pressed on Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua This is a longer clip, but it captures the best parts of a broader discussion DSA national co-chairs Ashik Siddique and Megan Romer had with The Moment hosts Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos. Jorge repeatedly presses them on whether Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua are dictatorships. They repeatedly avoid giving him a direct answer. Romer eventually responds that “Cubans have access to their democracy in a way that we do not,” pointing to Cuba’s 2022 Family Code referendum as evidence. That referendum was only four years ago, making it an especially curious answer to Jorge Ramos repeatedly pressing her on decades without multiparty elections. Ashik Siddique fares little better. Asked whether Cuba is a dictatorship, he pivots to the U.S. embargo and the state of American politics, responding that “it’s hard for us to judge other countries being dictatorships when we have Donald Trump as president.” Paola eventually steps in and identifies the problem at hand. DSA can be anti-imperialist without becoming apologists for these regimes. They should still be able to recognize and explain what makes them authoritarian. When it comes to international politics, DSA is often at its most revealing. Siddique and Romer are not even among the organization’s most die-hard internationalists. This is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how radical DSA’s international politics can get.

DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer says "We believe in taxing the hell out of millionaires." She then struggles to explain what that actually means: Remnick: "What does 'taxing the hell out of them' mean?" Romer: "Yeah. You know, again, I don't have, like, a solid…" Remnick: "But shouldn't you?" Romer: "Ummmmm, that's a good question." Remnick: "If you're the co-chair of the DSA, shouldn't you be more specific than just taxing the hell out of something? What exactly do you mean?" Romer: "So again, it's democracy, right?…" This is the Democrat party 'Big Tent.'

DSA Co-Chair Megan Romer says "We believe in taxing the hell out of millionaires." She then struggles to explain what that actually means: Remnick: "What does 'taxing the hell out of them' mean?" Romer: "Yeah. You know, again, I don't have, like, a solid…" Remnick: "But shouldn't you?" Romer: "Ummmmm, that's a good question." Remnick: "If you're the co-chair of the DSA, shouldn't you be more specific than just taxing the hell out of something? What exactly do you mean?" Romer: "So again, it's democracy, right?…" This is the Democrat party 'Big Tent.'

🚨 Dave Smith’s DSA Analysis Falls Apart Immediately Libertarians, you don’t have to agree with me on everything. But if you want serious DSA coverage based on what the organization is actually saying and doing internally, please consider my work. Dave Smith’s DSA analysis is not good, which is shocking given how confidently he talks about it, the fact that he is a libertarian, and his ties to New York. He gets a few things right, but this is not high-level analysis of the socialist left. The most revealing part is that Dave seems unsure whether Zohran Mamdani is actually a democratic socialist or meaningfully connected to DSA. Zohran is one of DSA’s clearest success stories, someone recruited, trained, elevated, and elected through the movement. He is the poster boy for DSA and one of the clearest examples of DSA’s project to build power through the Democratic ballot line. Dave treats all of this like little-d little-s “democratic socialism,” as if these are just welfare liberals who are not really socialists and occasionally latch onto whatever issue is trending. But DSA is not randomly latching onto wokeism, Bernie, Gaza, Iran, or Lebanon. These positions flow from a worldview. When DSA “latches onto” something, whether it is anti-ICE activism, Gaza, or labor militancy, it is usually because the organization wants to operate inside the broader movement space and pull those fights into its socialist project. Libertarians should be the people most interested in getting this right. If your opponents are openly trying to put government, unions, and socialist institutions into every corner of economic and civic life while building a democratic socialist republic, you should probably know what they actually believe.

🚨 This is not fringe. This is the actual ideology taking root. Nick Shirley went into the streets and found college students who openly say rapists should stay on the streets. The DSA’s platform? Abolish prisons. No ICE. No borders. No Senate. A man who escaped communist Russia tried to warn them: “They have no idea. To them it’s this la-di-da fantasy.” Meanwhile, DSA members are becoming Democratic nominees for Senate and governor… and the mayor of New York City is already one of them. They are not trying to reform America. They are trying to demolish it. And too many people are still treating this like a joke.

IF YOU DIDN’T WATCH A SINGLE THING TODAY… THIS IS THE VIDEO YOU MUST SEE. DSA leader gets caught like a deer in the headlights as a Haitian migrant caller absolutely OBLITERATES the party and its entire ideology live on air: “We’re not going to be fooled by people like you.” “The idea of democratic socialism’ is just trying to put lipstick on a pig. We’re not going to buy it. We know where you’re coming from. Socialism is the worst thing that can exist in the world, and they know it. It leads to misery and death.”

WOAH 🚨 Spencer Pratt reviews that Los Angeles officials are signing agreements with the Democratic Socialists of America after taking money from them The contracts are to CO-GOVERN with the DSA Meaning in exchange for the campaign contributions they do what the party says “When you sign up with the DSA, you sign a contract to co-govern with the DSA” “How is it legal?” “DSA gives you an endorsement, you sign a contract with them to co-govern. So right now she's not representing her district as an American citizen, a Los Angeles. She's representing the Democrat Socialist of America.” He’s referring to Nithya Raman and other Democrats who take money and get endorsements
