Italian anti-fascist, pro-labor, pro-liberty song starts at 1:35. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhBa...

Genie: ok what do you want for your birthday Trump: a military parade, oh, and also millions of people on the street chanting my name Genie: okie dokie

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

A few are rising to the occasion. Priztker, Newsom and a few others are leading the way. Padilla is also a fighter. Party leaders must show voters and the world they are unified and won't back down. No more negotiating. No more confirmations. GOP knows how to obstruct. Now it's Dems turn.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

This is so validating for everyone to the left of the Democratic Party who has consistently said that authentically left positions—including on Palestine—are the way to win. They are the way to defeat Trumpism and Muskism too. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Get ready for every right wing talking point to get its own series of articles, all filled with analysis from Chris Rufo and reaction quotes from “ordinary New Yorkers” who just coincidentally happen to be officials in the local Republican Party.

Hilarious joke. Combining as it does factual inaccuracy, let's just call it stupidity, and offensive callousness, let's just call it evil.

Haven’t shared this for a couple of weeks… youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?...

So much this…

A point that newsmedia and people who are (quite rightly) urging disciplined nonviolence have not yet brought up: history shows that when US protests have turned violent, it often and maybe usually later emerged that the instigators from the protester side were provocateurs, plants, saboteurs.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

DOGE is the real death panel
