I want to run for public office. I want to swing for the fence.
I'm pondering some options.
If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.
AOC: Alina Habba said, βWhat intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.β I donβt care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isnβt just talking about me, sheβs talking about all of us.

I want working class Americans to be able to work less and spend more time with their families and friends, all while earning a decent living.
That might mean a few CEOs have to opt for a smaller third yacht, but thatβs ok.
The average American deserves better.
The Dept of Homeland Security detained Palestinian Mahmoud Khalil, who helped lead the Columbia University encampment β and has a green card. This comes after Donald Trumpβs threat to deport protesters.

Utterly outrageous. This is un-American.
The forced disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for nothing more than constitutionally protected speech is a clear assault on first amendment rights and a blatant act of authoritarianism.
Khalil must be released.

Elon fired hundreds of βunnecessaryβ Twitter employees and the platform has been down for hours today.
Now heβs firing hundreds of βunnecessaryβ FAA employees. What could go wrong?
dsausa.org we need some there to organize and the DSA already has a framework to start from.

I've seen a few "actually, a lot of dems are really good at the internet, they just aren't getting attention" please give me non-AOC, non-Bernie examples so that I can educate myself.
I will say though, being good at the internet MEANS GETTING ATTENTION.
There is no such thing as βunskilledβ labor.
All labor is skilled and every worker deserves a living wage.
Remember: If unions didnβt matter, powerful corporations wouldnβt spend millions of dollars every year to stop them from forming. Keep up the fight.

Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man".
What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan βabolish ICEβ.
Todayβs actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Something about these arbitrary & capricious illegal firings happening across the Federal government that should be understood:
A big selling point for Federal jobs is the stability they offer. That comes with a tradeoff. Federal works make about 50 to 75% less than they would in private industry.

Humanizing is what school excels at.
When President Trump illegally fired Gwynne Wilcox, he effectively shut down the NLRB and took away the boardβs independence.
Weβre grateful to members of congress who, after union members made their voices heard, urged the president to reinstate Wilcox β¬οΈ
