Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District.

And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The bright side of the dodgers winning is maybe the solidarity it will bring to LA during these dark times

It’s still really weird that our president detests most Americans. Like the dude declared war on his own people, I’m never getting over it

They should've rebranded it to MSNBA. Chris Hayes should've hooped, he's tall as hell. New morning show of Rachel Maddow and The Professor from the And1 Street Tour. Most programming is now about low post footwork and the second apron.

Mamdani’s salary is $142,000 a year… $2300 a month for rent is actually like, totally reasonable and fine. A good salary in a rent controlled apt is the NYC Dream. Too bad greedy billionaires fucked that up

This fits pretty squarely in the classic definition of assault in that it a) is unlawfully directed at constitutionally protected activity and (b) causes the victim to reasonably fear imminent physically harmful contact

Until Democrats come to terms with President Biden being unpopular, and *why* he was unpopular, the Democratic Party will continue to have record-low approval ratings.

There is no way that nothing changes, yet a different result is had.

they made healthcare a commodity, education a debt trap, and housing a speculation market-then told you that poverty is a personal failing. they privatized survival and called it freedom.

Idk if calling β€œAlligator Alcatraz” a concentration camp is gonna catch people’s attention in the way we think it should. I mean, you’d think fucking Alligator Alcatraz would be bad enough on its own, but saying it’s a concentration camp will just make people tune out
