Truly is sad how many duped American’s have fallen for #DonTheCon

The silver lining is a movement for change and universal well being is underway and it feels unstoppable.

#NYC is one of the most unequal cities in the country, but it doesn’t have to be that way. As democratic socialists, we’re building working class power to challenge the dominance of the wealthy and the powerful in the 5 boroughs. If you want to build a better New York, join us! socialists.nyc/join

Progressive in energy ≠ progressive in action.

We’re seeing many candidates being framed as “progressive” without a platform centered around uplifting the material conditions of the working class.

Don’t say “progressive” before you see the policy.

Breaking news: Indiana’s French Lick renamed to Sue Glick!
Speaks volumes…

Indiana GOP Senator Sue Glick got a call she “thought was coming from…her aide. ‘No,’ the caller replied, ‘this is Mike Johnson from Washington.’ Perplexed, Glick asked him, ‘And who are you with?’ He replied that he was the speaker of the House.”

New healthcare plan in a couple of months… 10 years later.

End the Russian war in Ukraine on day 1… 1 year and counting.

Release my taxes next week… 10 years and counting.

But, evidence of a stolen election in a couple of months… sure.
"A couple months" is Trump's version of "The dog ate my homework."

Want to feel hopeful about climate action? Look to local politics.

75% of the commitments that the US made at the Paris climate agreement can be reached entirely without federal support.

Please explain to me why we need the permission of the perpetrators to show us the evidence of them murdering non-threatening human beings at sea?
The killing of shipwrecked survivors at sea is a textbook violation of the laws of war.

If Hegseth is so proud of the killing of these survivors, the Pentagon should release the full video, just like they have with other boat strikes.

The American people deserve full transparency & accountability.

The other loser is the American people and our reputation around the world.
"The small figures huddled together at Miami's airport carried backpacks, stuffed animals and suitcases. One wore a silver cross necklace. Families of the travelers – ages 3 to 15 – have been torn apart this year by Trump's deportation campaign..."

The 6th grade boy ethos permeates Trump’s entire cabinet and most of the “magnificent” tech CEOs… truly mind blowing 🤔
Such a national embarrassment.

Listen, if you tell me that “taxation is theft” I’m going to need you to quit driving on highways or walking on sidewalks or attending a public school or using police or fire services or city snow removal.

I would mention libraries, but…

And.. once again, one sociopath will somehow have the ability to unilaterally wage war despite the will of tens of millions of Americans. Is this the democracy prior generations fought and died for?

Buy local.. maybe a little harder to find, possibly a bit more expensive… but you get much higher quality and WAY healthier for you and the environment.
Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.

Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.

Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.
Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.

The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

It’s going make the Nuremberg trials feel like traffic court.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.
