More accurate would put the trident in the canton and replace the rest with US/East India stripes. Lets not pretend that the UK is an empire on the rise again.

Yeah this data is usually maintained at the county level and is accessible through the state assessor office. This website is something some activists made that sits on top of that data.

But… There’s usually an ArcGIS server for any county in the US and that gives details on each “Tax Parcel” of land and often says who owns it. Although, knowing when two owners are the same people is tricky. Just search “your city/county arcgis tax parcel” and there might be a fancy webmap made by the county.

With some scripting you can trivially dump these databases, as they all use the same API and have zero secruity since its all public data.

There’s the DSA national political committee (NPC) which is your typical soc-dem electoralists, then there’s the rest of the DSA which are as radical as you’d want the DSA to be. The International Committee is cool and good and gets called trots by the NPC.

The NPC can only appoint people that volunteer though. And given the low number of people who ran for NPC compared to the number of seats, I’d suspect whoever showed up for the IC committee got it. That doesn’t mean the IC and NPC don’t share beliefs, just that they don’t have to. But if the NPC’s suspension of the BDS working group leaders is an indicator of their beliefs, then I find it hard to believe they have the same internationalist bent that the IC has.

There was a huge change up basically in 2020 from the previous old 3rd campist trots

Was that the IC or the NPC who were 3rd campist trots? If IC, what changes in the NPC precipitated the shakeup in the IC?

tho NPC did reverse the decision on BDSWG at least

But they haven’t reinstated the suspended leaders of the BDSWG. They only un-de-chartered the BDSWG because they didn’t have the authority to do so. The national convention established the BDSWG and the NPC and only it has the authority to de-charter either.

If they didnt approve they would just stop all the stuff IC does and not let it run the show basically on foreign affairs anymore

That’s a legit point but then I’m very confused as to what the NPCs collective politics are. Are they actually socialist internationalists but somehow die hard electoralists?

FWIW my chapter initiated the call to expel Bowman which snowballed into the BDSWG crisis. We’re now trying to organize a special convention to elect more internationalists and put more control over the NPC. If you or your chapter hasn’t signed on yet you should:

It’s unlikely that we’ll get signatures in time to have the special convention but it’ll still be valuable to know who’s on our side going into the next convention.

If you’re right wing and in a city you either temper into a centrist or radicalize into a die hard racist who feels constantly under attack. Same goes for left-wing people in rural environments. Some of the most radical DSA chapters are in rural areas.

By voting for more democrats of course!

But for what it’s worth, unlike other progressive policies that they wink and nod to, gun control is the one they are genuinely serious on. When the Democrats completely took over the Virginia state government, gun control was the one and only progressive policy they passed. Basically most state politics are fed by school board elections not municipal elections (mega cities like NYC and Chicago being major exceptions). Since school shootings affect poor and wealthy school districts alike it’s an unquestioned given amongst any rising democrat.
