AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.
Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.
Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵

Why is Trump waging a war on public broadcasting and the Department of Education?
Because he wants us less informed, less knowledgeable, and less connected.
This attack on our minds is central to the fascist playbook. youtu.be/rEH7sF6pA4s?...

Trump is building concentration camps in America, and the press hasn't caught on. So allow me: AMERICA IS BUILDING CONCENTRATION CAMPS TO GO WITH ITS SECRET POLICE.
Trump and his supporters are waging war on innocent Americans. Never forget and never forgive the people who voted for this.

Billionaires and Israel have exactly the same right to exist, which is to say they don't.
You don't have a right to choose to hoard resources when people are starving. Being a billionaire isn't a human condition, it's a choice you make to hurt others.

And to be clear, Gillibrand should resign *by her own standards.* Defending Cuomo is disqualifying *by her own standards.* That she's doing so with racism just makes it a thousand times worse.
It's actually pathetic that a Senator who once (correctly) stood up to Al Franken and demanded a zero tolerance policy for sex pests is now running cover for an EVEN WORSE sex pest by just being a disgusting racist.
Gillibrand of 20 years ago would say Gillibrand of today is a cowardly bigot.

cuomo is campaigning that he’s the only one seasoned enough and tough enough to stand up to trump and then when trump kidnaps the comptroller of the city he wants to lead, he can’t even be bothered to show up. don’t rank him.
I got there after @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social spoke. But I saw Myrie and Blake. When he spoke, Lander said five mayoral candidates had shown up - not sure who else was there. But I can tell you for sure CUOMO was not. Don't rank him, friends. Don't put him anywhere on your ballot.

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence.
It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

“How can the police to do this to them?” Well Barbara and Fred you cheered them on when they did it to student protestors, you voted to increase their budgets, and you have militarized them through “law and order” bullshit, I wonder how you don’t know how it got here?

One thing I absolutely need you to understand is that in the United States, *police can legally lie to you.*
And in most cases, a cop lying to you is NOT a defense to a criminal charge.
Don't talk to cops. Get a lawyer.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Serious answer: cops don't only arrest guilty people. If they did, my job would be a lot easier.
It doesn't matter why the cops are questioning you. If they're questioning you, they're planning to charge you with something. Don't help them.
ALWAYS shut up and demand a lawyer. ALWAYS.
