Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

Undermining public health at home wasn’t enough—now the US is targeting Iran’s. What’s happening to Iran’s medical system is unacceptable. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov, speak up.

This is the kind of leadership we need. I support Nina Schwalbe to be the next Congresswoman from NYS CD #12.

Read @chrismurphyct.bsky.social Pay Attention When Your President Promises To Commit War Crimes open.substack.com/pub/chrismur...

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

Protests are terrific for raising awareness and building connections, but they're only the first step. If you want to follow through, check out this video and link up with your local organizations to do the important work ahead.
