Stu Smith on X - "🚨 Meet the “Abolish Rent” Ideologue Teaching DSA Tenant Organizers How to Wage War on Landlords
Tracy Rosenthal co-founded the Los Angeles Tenants Union, helps politically educate DSA tenant organizers, and is currently on rent strike in New York City. In this supercut, Rosenthal says tenants pay rent “at the barrel of a gun,” describes withholding rent as a “liberatory vision of home,” and explains how movement lawyers can use the legal system to buy tenants time. She also endorses tactics including camping outside a landlord’s home, leaving bad Yelp reviews of their other businesses, and crashing family weddings. As you will see, Rosenthal radically frames the relationship between property owners and tenants as inherently exploitative. I am certainly sympathetic to anyone dealing with a bad landlord. But this goes far beyond protecting tenants from abuse. It treats the landlord-tenant relationship itself as illegitimate and pushes organizing tactics to an extreme. Rosenthal’s ideology and organizing model increasingly permeate DSA’s tenant movement. Stick around for even more clips!"
wanye on X - "These people are much more clear-eyed about their project than centrists give them credit for. They aren't interested in the current system, in operating according to its rules or logic. They are in a power struggle for resources, which they want to take from the people with power now by any means necessary (including violence)."
Cynical Publius on X - "I am really getting sick and tired of "moderate" Democrats (as if such a thing actually exists) shouting that the DSA is some sort of new, existential threat to their party and to America. In reality, the DSA is the entirely logical and foreseeable outcome of the way Democrats have been pandering to the most extreme and perverse elements of our society for the past 40 years. Logical. Foreseeable. Stop acting surprised. You are what you are, you get what you deserve."
David Bernstein on X - "This DSA stooge literally says that if a small business owner who has to work in the "real" economy can't compete with a grocery store owned and massively subsidized by his own government, "maybe he shouldn't be in that business." Business owners should see this as a call to war. The government has sufficient resources to put *anyone* out of business if it decided to."
Washington Journal on X - ".@DemSocialists co-chair Ashik Siddique (@ahSHEEK) says the DSA would abolish the Senate: "We do believe that government should be proportional to the population…We just don't see the point of the Senate."
Charles C. W. Cooke on X - "The fun thing about this is that, per Article V, the Senate can’t be abolished without the consent of all 50 states, so this is functionally indistinguishable from a call to abolish the Constitution."
Gerald Posner on X - "The New York DSA co-chair says his parents fled Peru to escape what he calls “the imposition of capitalism and American imperialism.” Their solution? They moved to America. This sounds like the level of illogic that was the hallmark of my freshman year political science classes at UC Berkeley. He doesn’t realize he is not making a talking point as much as giving an example that collapses his entire argument."
Gregory K Bovino on X - "People keep asking: “How did these hardcore radicals just sweep Democratic primaries in New York?” Look at the winners. One was raised in Turkey until adulthood. The others come from Palestinian, Dominican, and Haitian backgrounds, and they’re running on “America is the problem,” “river to the sea,” and open hostility to our traditions. Now look at who voted for them: their own communities turned out in heavy, coordinated blocs. This isn’t random. This is what happens when you import millions from cultures that don’t assimilate. “One man, one vote” stops working when the new arrivals outnumber the original Americans in district after district, and vote their tribe, not your country. The result? Your neighborhoods, your schools, your future get reshaped against your will. The only way to hit the brakes: Mass deportations of anyone here illegally, plus an immediate, total pause on legal immigration until assimilation actually happens again. Think of it like this: Your house is flooding. You don’t negotiate with the water, you turn off the hose first. This isn’t theory. It’s math playing out in real time. The demographic shift at the ballot box is visible. What are we waiting for?"
Bill Melugin on X - "BREAKING: Rep. Espaillat concedes. Mamdani-backed socialists have officially gone 3/3 and won all of their respective Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York tonight. Their positions are some of the most extreme & far left Dems have seen:
Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and “all deportations are wrong”, including for violent criminals. She has called the U.S. an “effing disgrace”, and said in a prior social media post “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.”
Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship and voting rights to illegal aliens, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance.
Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (almost $2 trillion worth), expand the Supreme Court.
Mamdani gets a clean sweep, a bad night for Hakeem Jeffries, and big questions for where the Democratic Party is heading."
The DSA is exploiting Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoralty for a stealth revolution - "For all his smiling charms, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is the willing tool of a movement running a very old and ugly playbook — radicals not only determined to take over the Democratic Party, but to wield state power, in this case the government of New York City, as a Democratic Socialist tool. Start with his Office of Community Engagement — which, the city learned last week, is already costing taxpayers $53 million, a full 10 times the advertised level. The OCE is a DSA agitprop shop, pure and simple, devoted to campaigning for political issues the radicals deem important, such as producing an illusion of massive public support for the Rent Guidelines Board final rent-freeze vote at month’s end. The fix is in at the RGB, as the mayor has named most of its members, including the supposed landlord representatives, yet the OCE is recruiting an audience to stage on a play of “the people demanding justice” and getting it, thanks to the Democratic Socialist mayor. And the public at large is paying for the DSA show. Mind you, the DSA’s not limiting itself to the Soviet playbook: It’s training up its own paramilitary wing, the Red Rabbits — a street-fighting force strongly reminiscent of the Sturmabteilung, the “brownshirts” of the 1920s Nazi party. But most of its efforts in the city are more Soviet-style, as witness Mamdani’s housing plan, which quite literally aims to expropriate the property of his class enemies — in this case, mom-and-pop property owners — and hand their buildings over to nonprofits run by the politically connected. The result, as City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino quite rightly points out, would be a real-estate portfolio potentially worth billions concentrated in the hands of DSA allies. Assets that will remain in the movement’s hands even if it loses the next election. No matter that nonprofit-run housing has failed for decades to deliver for tenants; it’s a success for the nonprofits themselves, and those who run them. Heck, the DSA under Mamdani is taking over day care, too. His push for “free” 2K seats for NYC toddlers, spinning up even now, is spending $73 million for 2,000 seats — $36,500 per kid, 50% higher than what a private day care would cost. Why not simply give those big bucks to parents as vouchers for private day care? Because they’re not run by members of the politically connected nonprofit-industrial complex, ready allies of the socialists’ agenda, and they don’t employ unionized UFT workers — an element the DSA wants brought into its coalition by handing them your money under the guise of lifting up the downtrodden. Plus, by jacking up wages in the sector, the plan will squeeze private providers out, leaving all but the wealthiest parents dependent on the city and social-services socialism. As Lenin observed, the whole question of revolutionary socialism lies in the phrase “Who-whom?” — who triumphs and who faces defeat. It’s easy to laugh at the mayor’s more ham-handed efforts to reward the DSA cadre, but the movement is relentlessly exploiting his mayoralty to grow its power base at everyone else’s expense. Traditional Democrats need to wake up and fight back just as ruthlessly before it’s too late."
Claire Valdez on X - "Art can't be a luxury made by and for the few. But the cost of living has made it impossible for so many New Yorkers to create the culture that makes this city beautiful. I joined Mayor @ZohranKMamdani at MoMA PS1 to talk about my journey in the arts and keeping NYC vibrant."

NY House hopeful Claire Valdez unveils housing plan to 'take buildings away' from so-called bad landlords - "A far-left New York House hopeful backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani vowed to “take buildings away” from so-called slumlords and implement nationwide rent control if she’s elected to Congress. Democratic Socialists of America candidate Claire Valdez — who is running for the open 7th House District seat in Brooklyn and Queens – unveiled her radical housing plan Thursday, slamming building owners and the real estate industry... The plan explicitly calls for the government to seize property from bad building owners, declaring, “there is no right to be a slumlord.”... the agenda contains little to no details about how Valdez plans to implement her proposed socialist platform — which mirrors that of Mamdani’s administration — on a national scale. She called for “universal rent control,” and to amend the low-income housing tax credit to protect long-term rent stabilization. “Rent control must be expanded not just to every New York tenant but to every tenant in the country,” she said. The former labor organizer also vowed to fight to fully fund federal voucher programs and pass a national good cause eviction law — preventing landlords from evicting tenants without proof of lease violation. Valdez is one of three DSA-backed congressional candidates that Mamdani has endorsed to take on incumbent Democrats and even other progressives in the June 23 primaries."
DSA Watch on X - "🚨 Claire Valdez, Democratic nominee for NY-7, says she wants to abolish pre-check and nationalize the entire airline industry"
Justine Bateman on X - "Can there be even a modicum of knowledge of any kind of history? We HAD regulated US airlines and the resulting price of tickets was through the roof. Maybe Claire is hoping that airline tickets can become wildly unaffordable? But no, she is imagining that “nationalizing the airline industry” means everyone gets to fly for free. “Democratize airline tickets!” or some other total nonsense. The lack of education and level of ignorance is comical."
Exclusive | Mamdani-backed candidate peddled crackpot COVID-19 claim pushed by Chinese Communists - "A far-left congressional candidate backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani peddled a crackpot COVID-19 theory that said the virus originated in France — and quoted a Chinese Communist propaganda organ as evidence. Candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier spewed the bizarre claim in an unearthed tweet from 2020, citing as her source the Qiao Collective, a known propaganda organ for China. “So you mean that once again it was PoC who intervened and stopped the spread of a European plague? Wow. Shocked,” Avila Chevalier said in a May 10, 2020, tweet, apparently referring to “people of color.” Qiao said earlier that day that “Hospitals in France confirmed that France had COVID-19 outbreaks in November, a month before China.” The Qiao Collective describes itself as “a grassroots media organization of Chinese diaspora writers, artists, and researchers dedicated to challenging Western media narratives and U.S. aggression against China.”... There’s a wide consensus in the scientific and intelligence communities that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China — whether from a wholesale market or a lab leak in close proximity in Wuhan. Avila Chevalier, 32, is seeking to topple veteran Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the 13th House District that covers the northern Manhattan neighborhoods of Morningside Heights, Harlem, Washington Heights/Inwood and the northwest Bronx. She is endorsed by Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America... The revelation of DAC peddling Chinese Communist Party propaganda comes as the CCP tries to make inroads in New York City and the United States writ large through spies and an elaborate network of affiliated or sympathetic left-wing groups... She’s already on the defensive about other tweets posted within the past five years that Espaillat highlighted in an attack ad — including one where DAC slammed black and Arab men for “fetishizing ugly colonizer women.” Referring to former Vice President and 2024 Democratic White House nominee Kamala Harris, DAC said, “I have no nuance to add. F—k Kamala Harris.” As for former President Joe Biden, she said, “I will never give my vote to a rapist.” Biden has vehemently denied allegations from a former Senate aide that he sexually assaulted her in 1993 and has never been charged with a crime over the allegations. Avila Chevalier also joked about disrespecting the American flag. “I forget to get napkins,” she said in another of many deleted social media posts. “So I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.” The statement was accompanied by a smile emoji."

daniela on X - "Watch as Darializa Avila Chevalier, prison abolitionist, is asked *four times* how she would handle a murderer, and each time refuses to answer."
Apple Lamps on X - "Darializa Avila Chevalier prides herself on removing the J. Marion Sims statue in Central Park and treats that as proof of her moral superiority. In reality, it’s a perfect example of how people like her dismantle the reputations of white men who made enormous contributions by rewriting history to fit their ideology. Sims was a 19th‑century surgeon who helped crack one of the worst medical nightmares women faced at the time... vesicovaginal fistula, a childbirth injury that left women constantly leaking urine, stinking of urine, isolated, and ashamed in a world with almost no effective treatment. J. Marion Sims developed a surgical repair and instruments that changed gynecology worldwide and led to specialized women’s hospitals, saving or dramatically improving the lives of countless women who otherwise would have been written off as hopeless. The modern narrative her socialist cult pushes rips all of that out of context. They zoom in on the ugliest, most painful part of the story... his experimental operations on enslaved women... without ever acknowledging that those women were brought to him already destroyed by that horrific childbirth injury. They strip away the reality of 1840s medicine in the Deep South, where surgery was brutal for everyone and vesicovaginal fistula was a life‑ruining condition with no real cure, and then treat his crude, early attempts to fix it as nothing but sadism. There is no serious effort to weigh how common harsh surgical practice was at the time, what options actually existed in that setting, how surgery worked before modern anesthesia, or how many women later had their lives given back by techniques and instruments that grew out of that work. Those complexities are erased and replaced with a simple, politically useful script... "Sims was just a racist butcher whose “achievements” deserve only condemnation." It’s revisionist history aimed at degrading white men and turning our own national story into nothing but a catalog of crimes. And the fact that a congressional candidate like Darializa Avila Chevalier treats tearing down his statue as a top credential tells you exactly what kind of “leadership” she’s offering... not building anything better, but vilifying the people who built this country and teaching you to despise the civilization she’s standing on."
Kareem Rifai 🌐 on X - "Just hours after Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Darializa Chevalier blamed the US for "bullying Russia" and accused Washington of stoking the war for profit. Copy-and-paste Russian talking points. She's the Mamdani-backed challenger to Rep. Adriano Espaillat."
Hen Mazzig on X - "“It is a very visually similar situation” Darializa Avila Chevalier, who is running for Congress, said the West Bank and Gaza are the same as her own district in New York City. She said in both cases the displacement is caused by “corporate interests” buying up the land. This might be one of the most intellectually dishonest things I've ever heard. Jews are not "corporate interests," those insistent on living in the West Bank do so because there is a deep cultural and religious connection to that land in particular. Palestinians also have a deep connection to that land, thus the conflict is born. Also, you're comparing the district you run to Gaza? Really?"
Izengabe on X - "The antisemitism behind what Darializa Avila Chevalier (D) is saying is astonishing. She's implying that Harlem is like the West Bank because Jews are buying up the land & pushing "brown people" out. This is something you would expect a Grand Wizard of the KKK to say & not a candidate for Congress in Manhattan."

- She has committed to abolishing prisons, and legalizing prostitution and the private consumption of all drugs.
- She has called for government-run farm cooperatives, a la Stalin and Mao.
- She converted to Islam three years ago at a mosque led by a pro-Hamas, Holocaust-denying sheikh.
- She engaged in civil terrorism and helped lead the illegal “tentifada” encampments at Columbia that resulted in a $221 million settlement."
Coddled Affluent Professional on X - "Overall this may be a fortuitous development for Republicans. Democrats in general do better with establishmentarians who project a sense of normalcy (eg Biden, pantsuit ‘moderates,’ etc) rather than loud, online, disinhibited left-wing social media narcissists even if there’s very little difference in the policy they support and effectuate (the ‘moderates’ are fully radical in practice). Electing DSA leftists in deep blue locales doesn’t really change Dem politics ideologically but it does affect the tenor. It all kind of goes back to that Ezra Klein-TNC podcast where Ezra was like, ‘I agree with you on 99.9% of policy but don’t you think we should be careful to not to say the quiet part out loud? Just for the sake of political strategy?’ and TNCs response was, ‘No, I’m not going to do that. I’m going to do what I want and I like to say stuff out loud.’ That basically sums up what’s happening in Dem politics in 2026."

Speaking academically about how the country could be taken down is protected, but that's not what the DSA is doing. These aren't academic theories being debated in a classroom. This is a heavily funded and highly active political party actively strategizing about how to execute plans to take the country down, while electing members to office and infiltrating American institutions. None of this is protected by the constitution, and we have every right to dissolve the DSA and throw these people into prison for sedition. These people aren't kidding around here. And we need to get a LOT more ruthless with them."
Time to impeach Trump for treason!
