Excited to highlight some of our panels! Join us December 7 in San Francisco.

Full schedule, panel descriptions, tablers, and info at our site

Rick Scott was CEO of a large, for-profit healthcare company called HCA. While Rick Scott was CEO, HCA stole so much money from Medicare they were fined $1.7 Billion.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

Sure we put you through a month of hell, but on the other hand we got nothing for it.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This right here.

If you divided up Elon's trillion dollar incentive and gave it to people in need, you could give:

Every SNAP recipient $23,809
Everyone using the ACA marketplace $41,152
Every federal worker $333,333

People in need won't get it. Let's make sure Elon doesn't either. #NoTrillionaires #teslatakedown

FINALLY

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

Yet again:

US military strikes another boat in the Caribbean, killing 3 | CNN Politics The US military conducted a strike against a vessel in the Caribbean on Thursday, killing three people, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Man, this shit is out of hand and someone need tell us why in the fuck we are blowing up fucking boats? This ain't the shit we are fucking supposed to be doing. Someone please explain why in the entire fuck we are just blowing up fucking people? It needs to happen now

Elon isn't just an American problem, he's a global problem.

-He's calling "for violent uprising" in Britain
-Pushing for a "global neo-Nazi regime change"
-Funneling money into elections everywhere he can
-And his assault on USAID has already killed an estimated 400,000 children

ChatGPT encouraged college graduate to commit suicide, family claims in lawsuit against OpenAI | CNN A 23-year-old man killed himself in Texas after ChatGPT ‘goaded’ him to commit suicide, his family says in a lawsuit.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

We should all be asking ourselves why we can't do this in the United States.

Welp.

The victory of progressive candidates is a byproduct of our work caring for one another and building a better world, not the goal of our work.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

At Elmhurst Hospital just before midnight with the @nynurses.bsky.social, @1199seiu.org and @dc37nyc.bsky.social workers who care for us, no matter the hour.

Ew. Most of us in SF don’t want more cars on our streets, and are sick oF being used as a testing ground for billionaire run companies

Seconding Dean. @phoenixprojnow.bsky.social does such essential work for San Francisco and the Bay Area (and frankly what happens here often exports elsewhere, like say, oh, federally, because billionaires/technofascism)
