The rent is too high! Luckily @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has a plan for that!

Republicans are doubling our insurance premiums. They are throwing 15 million people off their health care.

As a result, tens of thousands will unnecessarily die so that the 1% can get a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

Unacceptable. We cannot allow it.

What's the Deal with Zohran's Millionaire Tax? Here’s a 2-pager I wrote about Mamdani’s “millionaire tax.” Sources are at the end.

Labor’s Strategy Must Lean Into Synergies The ferocity and scale of onrushing authoritarianism demand that we think beyond binaries. We can’t counterpose electoral and strike action: we need to do both and understand the synergies.

There are no either/or choices among workplace organizing, direct action, and electoral work: they must go together. Organizing for a 2028 general strike does not require a retreat from political work. convergencemag.com/articles/lab...

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Mamdani's victory is an opportunity for Jews to relearn the art of disagreement New Yorkers voted for affordability, not criticism of Israel. But American Jews can still learn from Mamdani's triumph.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

In Last Act as Governor, Andrew Cuomo Appears to Abandon Dog at Albany Mansion Cuomo reportedly ditched the pooch after taking off for his sister’s house in Westchester.

NYC voters: Cuomo abandoned his dog and he’ll abandon you too. #anyonebutcuomo www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/08...

URGENT: comptroller & mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested doing a court watch shift with JFREJ & is being held. If you can, head to 26 Federal Plaza, we're demanding his release & shining a light on ICE's violence. JFREJers are on the ground. We will send more updates as we know them.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway.

I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

ICE out of New York!

ONE WEEK UNTIL NO KINGS DAY!

At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS.

There are nearly 2,000 events planned. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
