i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Trump is trying to withhold SNAP benefits from hungry families, children, seniors, and our vets.

He's weaponizing hunger.

With this creators should be sweeping down on them with every lawsuit imaginable. Blitz them into nothing before they get the powers that be to change rules. Again.

Which is it, Mike?

Tweet from the Democrats’ official account saying “weird.” Below are two screenshots labeled “Mike Johnson last week” and “Mike Johnson now.” In the first, Johnson says Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. In the second, he says Republicans aren’t in charge of government.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Patriotic protesters wearing goofy inflatable frog costumes are using laughter to fight facism. And there’s nothing a bully hates more than being laughed at.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

They act on fears, frustrations, perceived slights, power games, grievance and gluttony.

We also need canonized replacement words/phrases that we all align on to better describe:
Fascism (power-mad?)
Oligarchy (rule by the rich?)
Socialism (For the People?)
Autocracy (Dictator?)
Plenary authority (Cheeto Hell)
Kleptocracy (Robber Barons?)

We need 10 viable dem presidential candidates, on YouTube *every single day*, detailing their plan for the midterms/‘28, demonstrating positive actions that can be taken today, talking to the disillusioned, bringing different folks together to common cause, debunking disinfo.

Right now.
