I decided to run for Congress when it became clear that we could not trust Suozzi to stand up to Trump. Now it is clear that we just cannot trust Suozzi period. Members of the Democratic Party have no business associating with The Family. Help me replace him on 6/23. votewelch.com

4. That's essentially what happened in 1983. Except President Ronald Reagan had the president of Grenada - Maurice Bishop - assassinated. Maurice Bishop was a symbol of Black Power. International Black Power. But like the Revolutionaries before him. He was eliminated end/

At the Colchester, Vermont candidate forum last Tuesday, Aly Richards, the establishment Dem candidate for Governor, pushed that her approach to protecting people from ICE was to use courts and cops.

There are so many aspects of running for Governor in Vermont that seem like a state rep race in Illinois.

1/ Cuba is out of fuel, strangled by the US fuel chokehold. People are dying, systems are breaking down. This is collective punishment against a people who have done absolutely nothing except live their lives under hard conditions imposed by the US blockade for decades.

The thing about the Democratic Party supporting genocide, they have compromised their ability to invoke the "rule of law" or morality until the pro-genocide position is repudiated.

It's simply ridiculous for the whiteys on the Roberts Court to say, "Racism is over," and use that claim to repeal the post-Civil War amendments.

People aligned with power practice strategic ignorance.

If you believe in opposing AI through electoral politics, you should have Amanda Janoo (Dem candidate for Governor of Vermont) on your radar. @janooforvt.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/FnqJD...

More Americans are going hungry now than during the pandemic, as people face a ‘remarkable’ rise in food insecurity, New York Fed says Source: Fortune share.newsbreak.com/ikg5hp2i

New law: The next administration shall have the power to expeditiously undo Trump admin actions that violated the US Constitution, US law, or norms. There should be limited time to challenge these actions. And the presumption will be with the new administration that it's acting in good faith.

Far from the worst thing we found while reporting on Lt. Daniel Miller, this complaint from a white man stood out as a particularly insidious way for Miller to push his apparent ideology: sorry man I have to give you this ticket because DEI. This stop also was not in his jurisdiction.

Political parties and media outlets should be publicly funded. Every person should get at least $500/year to give to a political party to hire local organizers. Every person should get at least $1,200/year to pay media subscriptions.

Don't tell the DNC, but the "one weird trick" for winning elections is giving people what they want/need.

I think frequently how this did not become a scandal at all in 2016 despite the news trying to make it one because people were just like "Yeah why would you let muslims vote they'll just vote for evil" theweek.com/speedreads/6...

Natural sensemaking refers to how humans notice patterns, interpret them, and construct stories or narratives to help them cope with and explain their lives, relationships, circumstances. It occurs in both solitude and interaction with others, and it represents a fundamental aspect of human nature.

Challenge: name something that's already in the US Constitution that goes unenforced.

As I block accounts that are obnoxiously "You should have voted for Kamala Harris" I notice they tend to be supportive of Kamala Harris on policies I strongly disagreed on. 🇮🇱🇺🇦

I feel like @demsocialists.bsky.social and liberals have to deal with this point. Organized labor is more racist than they should be for reasons that are both out of the control of organized labor and within the control of organized labor.

The Trump administration is an internal revolution that selectively discards norms, often bypassing existing processes.

I've been unable to get any information about the status of the protester whose leg was run over and who was then taken away by ICE. If you know anything, please message me on Signal at marisakabas.04

Every single day, I read about multiple reasons to leave this country. And I have to remind myself that that's what they want. That they want us to feel so unwelcome and so hated that we voluntarily leave. I fought way too hard for way too long, and I'm a better person than they will ever be.

I'd like someone to do this for VA secretaries (Secretary of Veterans Affairs).

If Democrats nominated to Congress... a. Represented the ideological spectrum of the Democratic Party electorate, b. Got support of Democratic Party donors and infrastructure equitably; Progressives, socialists and the Left would overwhelmingly be Democrats & help Democrats get elected.

Give me a good (or reasonable) reason that Democrats in Congress aren't pushing impeachment for the slush fund.

We need regulation for this shit, like yesterday.

My mom passed away 3 weeks ago after a 7-year battle with lung cancer. We’re trying to raise $8,536 for funeral expenses since we don’t have insurance and barely any income. Any support or even sharing this would mean the world to us right now. Please, I’m desperate. ko-fi.com/ellienoctis/...

More awesomeness from Zohran. I so wish he was native born.

Name a Democrat who will never be President.

Reading comprehension appears to be a problem a bunch of people have today.

And here is Israel bombing Lebanon's Tyre yesterday, during another 'ceasefire'. Israel has declared that all of the inhabitants of Tyre must leave the city. Tyre, an ancient city, has a population of almost 150 000 with its surroundings.

NEW: ICE officers just beat and used tear gas on detainees at Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ, per family members of people inside. This is as the hunger/labor strike at the facility continues for its seventh fay. gothamist.com/news/family-...

After a Wisconsin town did this, the mayor said: “The fact that they didn’t take the cameras down shows that we are the product. They were never really selling to us in the first place. They're selling to much bigger agencies the ability to spy on a ton of people.” (via boltsmag.org/verona-wisco...)

What she said. I'm thinking about the amazing BLM actions in Oakland where friends of mine were bailed out by their organizing group. And is it okay for first cousins to pitch in? Second cousins? Define crowdsourcing, I dare you.

Use the RICO Act on ICE.

Moral Western Liberals: "We are superior to the slavic subhuman barbarians, we are gonna destroy Russia & cut it up in the pieces and sell it to the highest bidder & use them as slaves. We will FORCE liberalism on these Russian Hitlers! Muahahaha!" Evil Barbaric Russians:

THIS. IS. BAD. Right now only funds that are from ill-gotten gains are banned. This WILL be used against Black people, immigrants, people of color, etc. This will be used to criminalize the bail funds (which are already being targeted under RICO laws in some states). This WILL backfire.

The Trump cabal is a criminal organization.

What dream would you leave behind?

The new harder to escape and overthrow Palantir powered digital version of that is being implemented in the US today.

What is the legal basis for the President changing election rules by decree?

Daily Memo: Around 500 People Are Now On A Hunger Strike at Five ICE Detention Centers Across the U.S. It started with one man from Cuba at the Torrance County Detention Facility in New Mexico, who has been in ICE detention since last August. Full report: lataco.com/huger-strike...

If we're going to fight racism and adjacent bigotries, we have to fight antisemitism too.
