mamdani is the model for future dem candidates and it can work in all 50 states. not the boring milquetoast candidates who refuse to take a position on hot button issues. they inspire nobody but dnc ad makers.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

So much the same! 👇🏼🏳️‍⚧️💜

So hey, you probably need some New Orleans joy in your TL right now.

First up, Glen David Andrews, aka brother of Trombone Shorty, walking the streetcar tracks.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

Hell yes!

the national nuclear security administration!

With SNAP benefits ending for millions & the economy shrinking what little resources food banks have, I’m sharing food resource supports & educators/creators.

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

“We Have a Common Enemy—and It’s Not Your Immigrant Neighbor” The SEIU’s Dave Foley and Dr. A. Naomi Paik on how worker solidarity can overcome Trump’s war on immigrants.

“We, as workers, have a common enemy that is raising prices and keeping our wages down consciously—and it’s not your immigrant neighbor. It is the billionaire who owns your company and probably owns the property that you rent from.”

More than 7 million protested. You can’t forget the millions fighting from their homes.

Disproportionate use of force again by federal agents in Portland.

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

No Kings

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

8.1 million worldwide! We are uniting peacefully against Trump.

“Bering Sea residents already got a taste of the future in 2018, he said, when winter ice was scarcer than at any time in the past 150 years of records.”

““We’re not going to be well. Storms are going to get worse, and it’s not going to be livable,” said Mike Williams Sr., a tribal leader from the Kuskokwim River village of Akiak. “We’re past the tipping point, maybe.””

@nlgchicago.bsky.social is trying to raise $10k to fund ongoing legal support for protesters. They've had to cover long shifts at Broadview, and their volunteers have been repeatedly assaulted by police in the process. More info with ways to donate here: instagram.com/p/DP36ITJja-W/

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

A fuller vision of democracy recognizes that Black women's experiences overlap with everyone else and uplifting us ensures that no one is left behind.

This is #BlackWomenBest. This is the Way.

ABOLISH ICE.

What more do Americans need to see?

The other telling thing is when Coates brings up the history of Black Americans. Klein responds, "Trump won more of the black vote in 2024," as if that is some kind of sweeping rebuttal. 1. This history still matters 2. 84% of a very large group backing one party is still a very high number!
