If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. They must hammer economic populism — and have a laser focus on the cost of living crisis in America. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

Zohran Mamdani found that elusive solution to generating organic left-wing influencer-driven advocacy that the DNC will spend the next three years and millions of dollars attempting to manufacture. Turns out the magic bullet is having a handful of new ideas and not being a total piece of shit.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

When under pressure, a good leader will take a step back and consider their options. A poor leader will rant, swear and blame others....

Oversite is necessary, especially in private, for-profit corporate detention centers with a history of negligence. Don't kid yourself. These are concentration camps. Here is the letter I sent via @resist.bot . It takes 2 minutes to send one too. resist.bot/petitions/PA... #firenoem #ICE #resist

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

Dear NYC: TOMORROW is Election Day and the whole world is BEGGING you NOT to fuck this up. You have a chance to choose a Dem mayoral nominee who is smart, decent, talented, funny and deeply committed to the people of the city. DO NOT opt instead to vote for an old school corrupt, sex pest

One of the things I hope this NYC election teaches young people is that VOTING IN PRIMARIES MATTERS! Being an “independent” means no say in primaries in most states. I hope the lesson learned is that there is ZERO power in staying home. NONE! No power at all in remaining on

The irony is that we collectively thought that some foreign country was going to invade and F..k things up and our daily lives, but what we failed to realize was that the plan by the corporations and their owners was that they would be the ones to destroy our liberties and dictate whats best for 🇺🇸.

“The body’s designed to kill measles,” Edwards said, as it spread into New Mexico and Oklahoma. “I would encourage you to seek a higher authority, a spiritual authority, and let peace guide you...” You know what else the body is designed to do? Die. Literally, our bodies are designed to die.

Israel is an ally of the U.S., so is Ukraine, what’s the difference, why has the U.S. stopped assisting Ukraine? If military strength & deterrence is so important, how do you explain abandoning Ukraine? The last we heard about Ukraine was Trump leaving the G7 early to avoid meeting with Zelensky…🤔

Peace in Ukraine on day one. hostages back. Gaza Beach a major attraction. Instead the world is in turmoil and Trump’s masked ICE has been unleashed to bash people in America. The kicker? Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize. No it’s the chaos prize he deserves. And he’s just getting started.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.
