Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Here’s what I think the modern Dem platform should be:
-Prosecute this administration
-Expand and pack SCOTUS
-Outlaw private equity
-Limit corporate consolidation
-Ban fossil fuels
-Ban AI
-Heavily regulate gambling
-Free healthcare/free pre-K thru college education
-Permanent DST
For starters.

Today is World AIDS Day

The State Department:
“The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.”
It’s disrespectful to everyone who lost their life. Everyone who lost a friend, partner or loved one. Everyone currently living with HIV.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Americans are so oppressed & manipulated that the majority actually BELIEVE that being taken care by our government is “a handout”. WRONG. It’s OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK FOR US.
Basic care is labeled “socialism” as a way to SCARE & REPEL people. WRONG. It’s just “a government by & for the people”.
