Insidious capitalism disguised as a feel-good piece of advice from Dove. A reminder that there are better companies to buy chocolate from. #capitalism

$2 Yuletide gift idea! Still true beyond 2025 too. #xmas #christmas #gifts #presents #democracy #oligarchy www.etsy.com/listing/4308...

My future mayor.

JD Vance should be supporting free speech, not attacking American media outlets for criticizing his regime - and independent entities not beholden to it for issuing consequences. But of course, he couldn't destroy free speech if he actually admitted to doing so. Far easy to pretend he's upholding it

Interesting. I guess. None of this is actually surprising.

Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor. Some changes that they can look forward to:

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

We have said consistently that the Guard should not be here. It is unsafe for both members of the Guard and communities. Our deepest condolences go to the two West Virginia families who will now spend this season mourning the loss of loved ones who died while deployed unnecessarily.

I just gotta say that I noticed the moment when Mamdani’s campaign really took off outside of NYC: when AOC endorsed him. The power of teamwork! The oligarchs and right wing formed an extremely powerful alliance in 2024 going into 2025. The People are doing the same a year later!!! #democracy

Yesss. #boycott #billionaires #oligarchy #bezos #dc #holidays

They know exactly who they are. Yikes!

What's the matter guys, don't like it when people recognize you for your work?

Love the collab between all these orgs.

Ooooh, interesting! #elections #democracy #oligarchy #scotus

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

My 2 cents: - Trump saw Mamdani’s meteoric rise. He beat everyone, including him and the oligarchs. - Mamdani ran on affordability and fighting for the working class. - Trump doesn’t care about either but he wants to be seen as such. - Embracing Mamdani is his way of co-opting these issues.

Omg

This is why we never obey in advance.

Fascinating.

Sadly, barely even news anymore.

I support this 💯.

Wowww. 10 months in, folks!

That explains a lot…

The way to get the ACA subsidies is for @aftynbehn.bsky.social to win the TN-07 house seat on Dec2. If she wins that, there will be a political earthquake in DC: Repubs will fear for their seats supporting Trump. The subsidies will return. They will be scared shitless. So $$, phone banking, NOW.

Out here in York, PA where @sbworkersunited.org strikers are BLOCKADING the largest Starbucks distribution center in the country to demand a fair contract!!

The House, in which we have no representation despite taxation, should have no say over minutiae of local governance.

Dangerous and sickening.

Ugh.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas: "It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Rapists HATE woke.

Boycott Starbucks! The union has declared a strike starting today. Don’t cross the picket line!!!

Fun fact: Bluesky is outperforming Twitter on conversions for my Kickstarter by 900%. Despite it having the most followers of any platform for me, Twitter is converting at lower numbers than EVERY OTHER social media platform I'm using (Facebook, Threads, Instagram, Bluesky).

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

Apparently there are some misinfos going around about Ranked Choice Voting in DC! Facts: Unlike the NYC version, DC’s will apply to both primary and general elections!!! And it’s going to be difficult to “spoil” your ballot!

“There are other ways for us to invest“ and ensure that the city gets the same rate of return, said Chicago city treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin. “We will not bankroll Trump’s authoritarian regime.”

Another person taken by immigration enforcement — after being stopped by MPD. Why is MPD making stops if this is the result? The mayor and Chief Smith have said MPD isn't supposed to do immigration enforcement — so why does this keep happening? www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/v...

Predatory capitalism. Feudal capitalism. We need workers’ rights AND tenants/housing rights to end feudal capitalism.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

McGovern: Seriously, we were worried. We actually started handing out missing person posters. Nobody has seen you for eight weeks. But, hey, I'm glad that you are ok. I'm glad you survived your nice, two-month paid vacation

Demote Chuck Schumer ASAP!! #uspolitics #dems #ussenate

#democrats #schumer #senate #shutdown

Conservatives: "The reason people are going hungry in America is because Elon's $500 billion isn't cash, it's all trapped in stocks. Same reason we can't have affordable healthcare for ordinary people." Makes total sense. /s

Excitinggg! #dc #booksky #cooperatives

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

Who’s excited for Ranked Choice Voting in DC’s June primary? Our current system is the absolute worst. We need electoral reform desperately in order to move away from the polarized two-party system that eventually leads to one-party rule. This is a small step in the right direction.
