Dear Sen. Schumer, please do your job and stop being complicit in this travesty. You have the power to stop this. Quit being feckless. And stop being an AIPAC whore.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Some days you just need Curtis Mayfield

No, I’m the subway slinger.

No it’s me.
It’s me, the subway slinger.

New Yorkers Aren’t Afraid of a Democratic Socialist Mayor Andrew Cuomo's allies spent a fortune shouting that Zohran Mamdani is a socialist. Result? A Mamdani landslide in the Democratic primary.

Democratic socialism is an America tradition:

Tom Paine proposed a social welfare state.

Many founding members of the GOP were socialists.

Milwaukee elected 3 Socialist mayors.

FDR was influenced by Socialist Norman Thomas.

Socialist A. Philip Randolph was a key March on Washington organizer.

Beshear: "These work requirements really aren't getting people back to work. They are about increasing the paperwork on everybody ... when somebody misses that one box, they are kicked off for six months or more."

YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander: "I'll keep coming back to court, week after week"

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.

But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.

That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

No Kings Since 1776

A black and white photo of Frances Perkins with the text: "All of Us. #AltCitizen" and a quote from her that reads, "I came to work for God, FDR, and the millions of forgotten, plain common workingmen."

For us, Frances Perkins is the ultimate #AltCitizen. Born into privilege, she did not turn a blind eye to the needs of others. In fact, the more she was exposed to the difficulties of the working class as a young woman, the more determined she became to make a difference.

NY17 Constituent and local social worker Emily Feiner was singled out and forcibly removed during Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall.

80 years ago on this day, Adolf Hitler shot himself.

Never give up hope.

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Oh lord bsky.app/profile/feli...

It was always about personal profit

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

If he would only speak truth to power now instead of patting himself on the back for the ACA. Where are the former presidents as they watch the Orange Shitstain drive us into fascism?

So we’ve got two competing schools of what the Democratic Party should do next. One of them is hosting the largest political rallies in history in places like New Hampshire and Arizona, and the other one just got $120 million from Silicon Valley and is on a book tour.

The Big Lesson From Bernie Sanders’s Gangbusters Anti-Oligarchy Tour The thousands of victims of Trumpism are out there. Democrats just need to find them—and be their champion.

This is not rocket science, Dems. Identify the victims of Trumpism, give them a voice, and get their stories told.

A twice impeached, 4x indicted, 34x convicted felon, and adjudicated rapist has NO business giving a speech on LAW & ORDER.

🙋🏻 if you stand for justice and want Donald Trump removed from power and incarcerated 🙋🏻

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

Democrats Are Acting Too Normal In her response to Trump’s address, Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin failed to capture the hallucinatory nature of our national politics.

"America does not need a 'resistance,' or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people," writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Gerth: House Education Committee won't listen to Black students on DEI measures | Opinion The Kentucky House Committee on Postsecondary Education met on a bill outlawing DEI in Kentucky schools. Black voices were stifled by Rep. Tipton.

Another must read column by @jgerth.bsky.social. As students are silenced, we have to continuously, and correctly, call this what it is - an ongoing and brazen display of white supremacy in Kentucky. @courierjournal.bsky.social
