Jamaal Bowman on What He Learned in Congress open.substack.com/pub/peterbei... Check it out and tell us what you think!

Did Trump sign any executive orders to lower grocery prices? I don’t think I saw that one.

Billionaires like Musk are controlling our government and threatening to buy politicians. That's what this potential govt shut down is about: taking from the working class to make themselves richer. This is hard & stressful, but we must keep fighting. Happy holidays & stay strong 🧵 (Part 1)

If the government shuts down, approximately 900,000 people will be unable to pay their bills and put food on the table. That's what Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and big-money Republican donors want. They want families to suffer so they can put more money in their own pockets.

The PEP should vote no on renewing Pearson’s SHSAT contract tonight. We cannot allow a system that unfairly disadvantages poor Black and brown kids to continue. Every child in NYC, and across the nation, deserves an exemplary education.

Reflecting on my time in Congress I just wanna send a huge shout out to Yonkers NY. I love Yonkers man. I’ve been here now for about twelve years and Yonkers has embraced me with open arms. Every election Yonkers came out super strong to support me. I appreciate you. Real recognize real.

Dear White People, I don't know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don't know why part of me still has hope for you and for us. Some of you are too far gone. But maybe enough of you aren't and will join us in fighting to end white supremacy.

Democrats didn’t lose this race because we were too far left. We lost because two moderates, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, abandoned our economic agenda.

Tenants are half NY state - but wealthy landlords and developers control our homes, neighborhoods, and even our democracy. It's time to take back the state for tenants. Join me and @housingjustice4all.bsky.social as we launch a powerful new organization on Monday. RSVP: hj4a.org/Dec9

We have to stop normalizing sexual assault, harassment, and misogyny in this country. It should disgust and repulse us and is a clear example of our inhumanity and dehumanization toward women.

President Biden, it’s time to pardon everyone in federal prison for marijuana charges and commute every federal death row sentence.

Progressives assemble! Excited to be on BlueSky ✊🏿
