Fighting for working people is good politics

Every war is a class war

Private equity fears public discourse 🫡

Taxing the rich to fund programs like universal childcare would benefit millions of New Yorkers but it would make it harder for me specifically to tell my mom why she doesn't have grandkids yet

The average New York family would have to make $334,000 a year to afford childcare care for a two year old in New York City.

4x the median family income.
The equivalent of 10 minimum wage jobs.

Tax the rich to fund universal childcare.

This Billionaire is killing TikTok Eerie black and white photo of Jeffrey Yass

You may not have heard of the 19th richest man on earth, but you’ve seen his work.

Meet Jeff Yass, the richest man in Pennsylvania and school privatization zealot who’s 180 on Trump steered TikTok into MAGA control.

TIL that the richest man in New York pays just 3.7% in taxes - compared to 14% for the median New York household

When @governor.ny.gov says she's not going to tax the rich, this is who she is protecting.

Meet Michael Bloomberg. The richest man in New York. 1 of 18 centibillionaires in the world. And the largest dollar donor to the effort to stop Zohran from getting elected 🧵

Another critic of the move is Charlie Heller, cofounder and communications director for the DREAM campaign, the PAC that helped Mamdani win the primary by convincing many New Yorkers not to rank Andrew Cuomo in the election’s ranked choice voting system and is now pushing to tax the rich. (The acronym stood for different things depending on which candidates were in the mayoral race at different times; most recently, it was “Don’t Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor”). Says Heller, referring to evidence that several of Hochul’s donors had ties to Jeffrey Epstein, “How can anyone believe Hochul will fund the affordability agenda when she’s protecting the bank accounts of these billionaire pedophiles?”

Is this the season of "Zochul"? Not so fast.

We broke down the risks of Hochul's Epstein Class protection gambit in @jacobinmag.bsky.social.

large red and white posters for new yorkers tax the rich campaign, with headlines: free child care, tax michael bloomberg, and tax john castimitides. posters are put up on the street in manhattan and brooklyn

Word on the street is that New Yorkers don't want @governor.ny.gov to rip healthcare from one million people in July. What we need is to Tax The Rich.

So let's remind her and her Epstein class donors what we made history voting for.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

This is Peter Thiel's M.O. In the U.S., he's embedded Palantir in key agencies like the Department of War. In Israel, he equips the IOF with the AI tools to commit their genocide.

The goal is nothing less than being the trusted partner and supplier of the global surveillance state.

This is so corrupt

On March 30, billionaire Antonio Gracias demanded the use of Social Security data to "expose" voter fraud. The issue: Gracias was working at DOGE.

Today, it was revealed that a DOGE staffer is being sued for signing a deal to share Social Security data with election deniers.

On 1/23, Minnesotans are going on a general strike to force ICE out. No work. No school. No shopping.

Don't live in Minnesota? Organizers are hosting solidarity actions across the country.

Take action today 🥊 www.iceoutnowmn.com

#ICEOUT

These are the corporate collaborators who are culpable in ICE's all-out assault on Minnesotans. Here is how to fight back and kick #ICEOUT 🧵

Before I became mayor, I had the privilege of serving in the New York State Assembly. And on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Astoria & Long Island City can elect @DianaforQueens to continue our work.

I'm so proud to endorse Diana, a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer & a democratic socialist.

This is what the combined wealth of all 900 of America's billionaires costs the rest of us.

When workers take to the streets, the rest of working class must have their back.

Join nynurses.bsky.social on the picket line at these locations around NYC. Bring good vibes and solidarity. Follow strike leaders' instructions. We win when we stay in the struggle together.

Make no mistake: these hospitals have the money. The CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian is paid $26.4 million a year. Montefiore's CEO? $16 million. Mount Sinai just dropped $100 million on an AI center.

What they lack is the humanity to care for anyone but themselves.
