This was being discussed in the Denver DSA Slack - https://actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-up-to-sit-in?source=dsa

I think National is encouraging people to participate. Like you said, lol at him having a town hall, but he can't easily avoid a sit in. Problem is, we felt National was not being forthcoming about the risk of arrest. That's all new to me and I'd like to know more what the ramifications are.

An arrest record is pretty serious I think? Pretty sure a cop will see you were arrested for being a leftist pretty much the rest of your life when he types in your DL number in the MDT, think it also may show in LexisNexis type reports

i went to a electoral working group meeting for boston dsa and had an interesting time. the agenda was voting on who to endorse in upcoming elections. we started the meeting saying we would only endorse socialists, but by the end had voted to endorse multiple people who explicitly said they were not socialists. i was fairly miffed. it was my first meeting so I didn't push too hard, but yeah. not cool.

at one point, someone brought up the fact that one candidate was backing charter schools, and there was some back and forth on whether this was okay. one of the guys in the group asked how charter schools polled in that district and i almost burst out laughing. folks, don't join dsa if ur just a liberal.

Well u see, charter schools are actually more socialist than public school because public school isn't funded well enough and is also full of corrupt neoliberal/capitalist propaganda, so everyone should be sending their kids to underbudgeted, overpriced shitholes barely better than home schooling glorious socialist academies for the young

they're definitely sending people to your general meetings anyway so I don't get why they'd do this.

You can vote to endorse whoever you want but it won't be real unless NPC approves it which requires an open socialist. Also the DSA natl position is directly against charter schools lmao

didnt the paris revolution work because there were enough peeps in the guard that were sympathetic to the women who marched on them?

I'm not saying we should definitely let cops in the dsa & have them take leadership positions or speak for dsa.

All cops are actively racist (or anti black in the case of POC Leo's). They have no place in the dsa or any socialist org.

From what I can tell: she criticized national for having "early bird" pricing for the convention, and a furthermore lack of transparency of what happens with the funds raised from the increased pricing. And also one of her twitter friends (flippantly) said they'd spit on someone in the middle of an argument and apparently she caught hell for that.
