The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

This is wrong and will be the downfall of our country if someone isn't done. It's unfair and wrong.

This video gives me a little bit of hope.

He is and always will be a… RAPIST.

There's a possibility I'm wrong about this — and I really hope I am — but the methods that establishment Democrats are employing at the federal level SEEM designed to quiet the public rather than to attack the crisis.

I have to really work at not being misled by history, especially how compressed in time recent history is. One example I try to keep in mind: While Anne Frank, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Barbara Walters strike me as from different eras, they were all actually born the same year.

To me, it's wild how compressed time is. I saw #MildredPierce trending and thought of James M. Cain, whose work I read ravenously in college. Frederick Douglass and Louis Pasteur were still alive when Cain was born, and Cain was still alive when Star Wars was released.

“New Year, New Me”

Zohran is already making Regular People's lives harder...

It’s simple. For 100 years they’ve called us anarchists, socialists, Marxists, communists, leftists, progressives and radicals. In truth, we’re the people who believe all Americans deserve equal education, opportunity and justice. The oligarchs want the whole pie, screw everyone else. That’s it.

U.S. oligarchs continue to sell the idea that all Democrats are Progressives, and that Progressives are radical violent thugs — even though not all Democrats are Progressives, and even though Progressives are not radical or violent. They sell this idea to keep looting the nation.

The very same "president" that asked his generals if they could just shoot the American protesters in Washington D.C. during his first term.

Bakari Sellers NEEDS to be in a house of congress period.

There seem to be a lot of people under the impression that if Trump is impeached and removed for treason, that the VP and his whole cabinet go with him. That’s not correct. You have to impeach and remove one at a time. Art II Section 4 simply lists all the offices eligible for impeachment.

The U.S. President and many other rich, influential people were deeply involved in a sex-trafficking operation for decades, and now the Dept of Justice is trying to both slow-walk the release of, and scrub those names from, documentary evidence of this. If you want to know how it's going in the U.S.

At best, establishment Democrats either refused or slow-walked endorsing Mamdani. Several endorsed an old, corrupt sex pest instead. At worst, they joined in smearing him as anti-Jewish. Folks might have a different take and that's fine, but to me this pretty much defined establishment Democrats.

Mamdani: "I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little & expect even less — I will do no such thing — the only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations"

A president should not be allowed to pardon people who committed crimes on his behalf or with him

Just saying

On the occasion of our threats against Iran, Venezuela, and Nigeria. Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' Our very street today Burns like a red coal carpet Mad bull lost your way War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away War, children, it's just a shot away It's just a shot away

Trump posting that he is very frequently given a cognitive exam isn't the flex he thinks it is.

Sadly there were deadly economic protests in Iran, today Tomorrow we will have to listen to all the useless American politicians, and talking heads who write laws against us protesting, who get us arrested for protesting Israeli Genocide and Occupation, cheer for protestors in Iran.

The United States elevated to its Presidency a man seeking revenge against the United States.

My occasional reminder that these were among the accusations against the British Crown in the American colonists' Declaration of Independence.

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

As winter storms batter Gaza and cause catastrophic flooding for millions of displaced Palestinians, Israel has banned 37 international humanitarian organizations from working in the Strip, which is reliant on these organizations for survival.

Be aware. Be careful. Be mindful. Focus on what you can do. Help where able. Help others after you have helped self 1st. Care for your needs and your family needs 1st then focus on others. Charity begins at home. Check in with family might need to help them before helping others.

You’re forgetting the states. States can do everything we need. Anti corruption, election reform, wealth tax, affordable housing, union protections, healthcare, end prison labor… Piece by piece we can take back power. Fuck the obstructionist Congress. It’s designed to stall progress.

I’ve never seen a video or photo from a Mar-a-Lago party that didn’t look like some nightmare event in a fictional Eastern European country that the scrappy hero has to infiltrate undercover in act two to eventually save the world.

stretch goals: -undo Citizens United -publicly funded elections -revolving door rules for lobbyists/representatives -abolish the electoral college -make gerrymandering illegal

Voting omnibus: -DC statehood (let PR vote too) -national election holiday -guarantee early and absentee voting -guarantee felons are eligible to vote -automatic voter registration upon turning 18 -standard voter ID laws (and not the harsh ones) -restore the VRA / negate Shelby County decision

IMHO, it's very important to focus on structural changes: - Term limits for Congress, SCOTUS - Repeal Citizens United - Expand and strengthen legislation to protect elections - Eliminate gerrymandering - Simplify the tax code

We as people know we are being controlled when you are told by your government & police you are not allowed to criticise somebody or something. Now ask yourselves, in the light of people being branded terrorists for peaceful protesting...who or what are we NOT allowed to criticise?

Well this was all very lively

They spent months and months insisting he was an antisemite, with zero evidence, and then he chooses to get sworn in as mayor by America’s most famous and beloved Jewish politician. His critics are a mix of liars and fools.
