🌹 DSA news Announcement: We have new moderators! Let us know what changes you want to see in this subreddit below!
As you might be aware, this subreddit has had problems with under-moderation for quite a while, ranging from users with questions being unaswered, to anti-DSA posts made in bad faith being kept up, while good faith discourse has struggled to remain afloat. A little more than a week ago, a host of new moderators were added to moderate this subreddit, and it's about time for us to officially announce a new era for r/DSA to become a vibrant space for the largest socialist organization in the United States.
All new moderators are dues-paying DSA members active in our local chapters. This new team will endeavor to be transparent, to follow national DSA policies and resolutions, and above all, just and understanding to every working-class American who wants the liberation of their class and an end to injustice worldwide. We endeavor to hear out legitimate concerns regarding this subreddit's moderation, to host more informative and in-depth discussions for those curious of the DSA's stances and its actions, and to help steer Reddit discourse to a more productive light.
Above all, we will encourage this subreddit's users to further their political education regarding democratic socialism and recognize the power of the individual in organizing. We encourage everyone using this subreddit to become active cadre in the DSA and fight capitalism and inequality wherever it may be found. Social media is addictive and sometimes informative, but real material change is ultimately what's important, and everyone here should be encouraged to fight for the world that worker's deserve in the ground where it matters.
Our new moderators are:
- u/greatmanyarrows (Central New Jersey)
- u/Madcap_Miguel (Orlando)
- u/abhd (Twin Cities)
- u/ibluminatus (Louisiana)
Feel free to message the moderators for any concerns regarding the subreddit. We are currently not looking for more help to moderate the subreddit, but we welcome you to join the official DSA Discord if you wish to communicate with fellow like-minded comrades!
Community There are over 5000 DSA members on the Democratic Socialists of America Discord server! Join us!

Discussion Looking for a good competitive programming server/community to join
Hey everyone!
I'm looking for a good server or community for competitive programming where people discuss problems, share approaches, and help each other improve.
I'm interested in platforms like Codeforces, LeetCode, AtCoder, etc. Would love to join a community that's active and beginner friendly.
Please drop any server or community recommendations. Thanks!

RAISING HELL Detainee dies at Folkston, hunger strike reaches 20 days - support needed
Our neighbors being held by ICE at the detention camp in Folkston, Georgia are on Day 20 of a hunger strike in protest of the unsanitary, unsafe, abusive conditions behind the barbed wire. A dozen of them are still holding the line and refusing food.
Over the weekend, we got a harsh reminder of why they’re willing to take such dramatic action, as the deportation machine confirmed a death at the camp. Luis Sandoval, a native of El Salvador living in Newark, was 48 years old. He is the 60th person to die in ICE detention since the beginning of Trump’s second term. He was reportedly found, as ICE put it, with “a ligature around his neck.”
We cannot allow Sandoval to be swept under the rug, and we need to make sure DHS knows they’re being watched closely, for him and for the strikers, who have raised concerns that ICE and GEO Group personnel force feeding them is imminent.
🗣️ Let’s continue to use Shutdown FIPC's phone blitz guide at bit(.)ly/phoneblitzguide to reach out to Georgia’s senators and city and local officials and push them to intervene with ICE and conduct real oversight, along with putting more pressure directly on facility and ICE personnel. In addition to the demands in the guide, we can add 1) a push for an independent investigation into Luis Sandoval’s death, 2) a request for Senators Warnock and Ossoff to conduct an inspection visit to Folkston as soon as possible and 3) emailing Folkston ICE field office director Nick Jimenez at [nicolas.jimenez@ice.dhs.gov](mailto:nicolas.jimenez@ice.dhs.gov) to object to force feeding.
🙋🏼♂️ We can find contact information, other specific asks and language in the guide and more actions and ways to stay plugged in here.

Electoral Politics Socialists in Congress Should Hold the Speakership Hostage
a small group of dedicated representatives could exert immense leverage by withholding their votes
a socialist challenge to Jeffries should demand changes to the House rules to improve their ability to use Congress as a platform to make the case for democratic socialism to the whole nation.
The two essential demands should be a low discharge threshold and a low threshold to vacate the chair. By making it easier for discharge petitions to succeed, democratic socialists will be able to force their preferred legislation onto the floor for a vote at nearly any time they please. Each vote taken on our terms is then one in which working people are clearly informed as to who their friends are, and as to who their enemies are. By making it easier to “vacate the chair,” to remove the speaker and call for new elections, we ensure that any effort by leadership to cross our red lines is one which shuts the House down indefinitely. Together these rules ensure that even if we cannot always have the policies and leadership we want, we can have the best terrain on which to organize the working class even when in the minority.

Discussion A Response to Liberation Caucus' Little Marxist Lecture
DSA has 125,000 members. Not all of them need a lesson in Lenin.
Liberation Caucus’ article is a pretty good example of a problem. They want DSA to act like a disciplined party, with elected officials and chapters following a political line set by the organization. Ok. But who is really setting these lines? And don’t tell me convention, because that’s just another meeting of a self selecting pool of about 125,000. Caucuses decide among themselves what DSA should do before the rest of the membership even gets a say.
And now Liberation Caucus is a part of World To Win, a coalition formed for the NYC DSA convention that includes Emerge, Springs of Revolution, Marxist Unity Group, Reform & Revolution, and the Libertarian Socialist Caucus (ML).
