Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Oxfam reports that the top 1%—about 685,500 people—own £2.8 trillion collectively, more than the poorest 70% of the country. If we’re serious about fairness, cutting benefits for the disabled is indefensible. #WealthInequality #DisabilityRights #Labour #TaxJustice

"Books have sometimes been licensed for only a couple hundred dollars each, and ... a publisher that asks too much may be turned down, only for tech companies to take their material anyway." Bad times for the media.

If people in New York can’t afford food, that’s a market failure created by grocery giants & public officials are right to try to offer a public option to address it. The problem is that corporate elites, don’t see oligopoly price gouging as a market failure — they see it as a market success.

Folks can argue about the relevancy of the “Democratic socialist” label all day. But if that’s what you’re hung up on, you’re missing the larger point. People aren’t chasing labels. They’re chasing change. Real, structural, unapologetic change. 🧵

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

Carney is the kind of racist you can talk yourself out of believing he is because it is subtle but then you get into a room with real actual people who saw what he said at NATO and everyone’s darting eyes at each other confirms it for you.

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

Both my patience and the Commerce Committee hearing with RFK Jr. have come to an end. Summary: RFK Jr. said Bill Cassidy lied when Cassidy asserted that RFK Jr. wouldn’t change the membership of ACIP (RFK Jr. fired all members). RFK Jr. doesn’t believe that HHS-funded HIV work saved any lives

At the risk of being a big dumper, the Minneapolis analogies have limits. The good news: challengers appear smart about using RCV here as in NYC. The bad news: Frey is a lot more capable politician & much harder worker than Cuomo. The hope: a change message is powerful if you bang the drum about it.

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

The reactionary-centrists that backed Cuomo & demagogued Mamdani—unwittingly, they created a referendum on their own power & preeminence. Now they have their answer. I'm talking about individuals & institutions here. Put them all out to pasture.

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime

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.
