Robert Reich A Conversation with Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj

Sometimes it’s best not to respond and just leave things alone.

THE JUDGE AGREES: NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION IN ARKANSAS 👨‍⚖️💯💯💯
Looks like the Governor is NOT ALLOWED to break the law? Big win for North Little Rock and democracy in Arkansas!
They’ll release a full statement soon!

Immigrants commit fewer crimes.

Immigrants pay taxes.

Immigrants contribute over $2 trillion to the economy.

The problem isn't immigrants.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.

If you’re happy about SNAP benefits being cut & are going to church this morning you’re neither a Christian nor a good person. You’re a heartless cunt.

Capitalist logic we need more trickles

Capitalist logic

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

When you pay attention to the tons of evidence showing that immigrants commit fewer crimes, you see that the problem isn't immigrants. The problem is the people blaming immigrants and spreading lies and stereotypes about them.

Ouch😁

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Worm-brain spouting Lie after Lie after Lie!

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Surely Bari Weiss will make sure this is hard-hitting 🙄

“If you can’t get a vote on your record, don’t play us against each other.”

I’m grateful for the Rev. Sharpton’s powerful words of unity this morning and against the cynical politics of fear and division.

“The driver’s family identified him as Carlos Jimenez, 24, a U.S. citizen, and said he was on his way to work at a food bank when the shooting occurred.”

When a federal judge just ruled the Trump admin’s plan to cut off SNAP benefits is “likely unlawful,” and ordered aid...to continue during the shutdown...it was a major crack in the strategy...courts are stepping in...as millions face losing food support. The pressure...just shifted.🔥🔥🔥
