Americans don’t want war.

We want healthcare.

We want good education for all, free of debt.

We want everyone to have housing.

We want livable wages.

The ruling class gets rich off war while the working class dies.

Democratic primary voters have an incredible opportunity to shape the direction of the party this election.

Voters in NC-04 have the chance to elect a candidate who will do more than write letters, @nidaallam.bsky.social will fight for the people.

I am proud to endorse her.

The next Democratic speaker MUST be 100% behind Medicare for All.

The next fight for universal healthcare is January 2029.

Mark your calendar.

Benjamin Netanyahu shouldn’t be in DC today, he should be in jail for war crimes.

Today, Sandra Bland would’ve turned 39.

In 2015, Sandra was stopped by police in Texas. She later died in police custody.

Sandra Bland’s death reminds us that lack of accountability and justice is not new to the U.S.

Rest in power, soror 💙💛🐩

Billionaires think they can buy Democratic primaries.

Voters are proving them wrong. Analilia Mejia is proof.

In GA-13, I’m the only candidate who’s never taken money from corporations or their PACs and I will never take a dime from AIPAC or their billionaire friends.

Senator @ninaturner.bsky.social is a champion for working people and continues to inspire our campaign. I’m so grateful for her support.

@analiliafornj.bsky.social and NJ11 are proving what’s possible when we come together.

FL23 is ready to carry it forward. The time to win is right now!

I am extremely proud of @AnaliliaForNJ.

I am also extremely proud of the progressive movement for standing in solidarity with her.

The momentum cannot fade, we must rally around candidates across the country to keep the momentum up.

If President Trump was serious about cutting down on government waste, fraud, and abuse, his administration would be targeting the Pentagon budget, not federal workers.

The Pentagon has failed 8 straight audits, yet they get more and more money.

During the Great Migration, tens of thousands of Black families moved from the Jim Crow South to Cleveland for steel, auto, and manufacturing jobs.

Neighborhoods like Central, Hough, and Glenville became cultural and political hubs, laying the foundation for modern Black Cleveland.

Trayvon Martin should be turning 31 today. He should be surrounded by friends and loved ones celebrating him.

He and his family were robbed of that because a grown man stalked him and killed him.

Without accountability.

Rosa Parks showed us there is no progress w/o struggle. We owe it to her legacy to never become cynical or complacent with the status quo.

We stand on the shoulders of the Black women who risked so much for something bigger than themselves ✊🏾

Happy heavenly 113th birthday.

Roughly 13,000 or so Haitian refugees were accepted by the U.S. and settled down in Springfield, OH.

The administration is wanting to rip that status away to send ICE into that community.

By definition, that’s ethnic cleansing.

The fight against fascism will not be won through the Democratic Party alone.

History shows us that defeating authoritarianism means building a broad coalition.

That means Democrats, Greens, WFP, DSA, etc. must work in concert.

It’s a new day.

I’m proud to endorse Dr. Butch Ware for Governor of California.

In a moment of rapidly increasing wealth and power inequality, it’s important to have people like Dr. Ware fighting for working people.

It is mission-critical that that working class Americans mentally break free from the sway of the two party system.

Not everyone within your preferred political party is right.

We must view elected officials as people we hire and evaluate them as such.

It’s not radical to believe the government should work to make our lives better, not kill people in the streets with impunity.

The answer to fighting this fascist agenda is not partisan gerrymandering.

Look at where Dems in Congress are on ICE—there is not a consensus on abolition. Also, partisan gerrymandering is undemocratic.

We cannot abandon our values, general strikes wield our power.

NEWS: Former sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has been sentenced to 20 years in prison following his conviction for second-degree murder in the killing of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black mother who was shot and killed inside her own home after she called police seeking help.

On May 13, 1985 in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a Black neighborhood.

11 people were killed, 5 of whom were children.

As we see ICE terrorize communities, understand that saying “this isn’t who we are” is false.

No, armed agents stopping people in the streets and killing civilians on camera while getting away with it is not new to America.

They aren’t Nazis, this isn’t Germany.

This is America and the terror Black Americans have been living under is now creeping into other communities.

Strikes and boycotts will build. We will not back down.

Working class people are sick and tired of working hard and not being able to afford housing, healthcare, or build a family.

We have power. We are somebody.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers hold a moment of silence for him.

Devastating and infuriating.

“I don’t do politics.”

Yes you do.

Low wages? That’s politics.
High prices? That’s politics.
War? That’s politics.

The world won’t spare you for not “doing” politics. Stay informed.

Reminder: ‘woke’ is a term created by Black Americans, referring to being awake to injustice.

Do you see it yet? Are you awake?

Tamir Rice
Breonna Taylor
Trayvon Martin
George Floyd
Michael Brown
Philando Castile

So many more names. This pain is not new to Black America.
