I gave a talk full of cute puppies while holding a red solo cup full of beer like a frat boy and yes, I am absolutely proud of myself.
Imagine if someone started some sort of worker’s party right now, that was just about providing better standards of living for non-billionaires?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.
"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.
'All you had to do was follow the damn law, Rockstar!': Workers are protesting outside Take-Two after GTA 6 dev's alleged 'brazen' union-busting

So a long time ago, I used to play in a band that toured and released albums and such. My old bandmate surprised us by finishing our final album that we recorded over a decade ago, so I thought I'd share it here as we no longer have any actual fans newcenturyclassics.bandcamp.com/album/bearin...

Honestly there is no surer sign that politicians like Mamdani actually have a shot at reversing the massive and growing plague of income inequality than the way the billionaire class is absolutely shitting its pants right now.
Their fear gives me hope change is actually possible! More Mamdanis now!

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
