A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

George Retes, a 25-year-old Army veteran, told ICE agents he was a U.S. citizen. They didnβt care. They tear-gassed him, beat him, and locked him in jail for three days without a phone call. He missed his daughterβs third birthday. No charges, no apology. Just cruelty, sanctioned by the state.
Makes more sense now

Trumpβs pivot to affordability lasted 48 hours.
Everything is fine, peasants. He fixed it already, why are you complaining?
I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But itβs going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Either way, TX continues to crash and burn under this governor.
Missouri is the only state in the nation to tax income, but not capital gains.
We are also ranked 50th in the nation for education funding.

We have already suffered. DO NOT make it
The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.
He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.
How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?
I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
βThe limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.β
The GOP is intentionally starving Americans.
Pass it on
NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

BTW, Jefferson was 33, Madison was 25, Hamilton was 21, & Monroe was 18, & y'all trust them as infallible.
Vote Zohran Mamdani on Nov 4. Let's do this.
Paxlovid from Pfizer costs $15 to make and now retails for $1500.

Bloomberg just doubled down on his support for Cuomo.
Bloombergβwho has hoarded $109.4Bβhas spent $8M to get Cuomo elected. That's like the average American household spending $4.38.
Billionaires got us into this affordability crisis. They will not get us out. Abolish billionaires. Vote Mamdani.
Thank you Congressman Neguse for laying it plain.
