I really hope this trend keeps up.

I'm feeling hopeful tonight for the first time in a year. Mamdani won! A Muslim DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST born in Africa will be mayor of NYC! Mikie Sherrill held Jersey's gov seat, Spanberger shifted EVERY COUNTY IN VA to the left, and Prop 50 passed in CA. What a good day.

Just donated. Hope y'all will, too, if not here, then in your neighborhoods.

THIS is what makes American great. US - ALL of us. At the No Kings 2 in Austin, a group of Mexican people were parked along the route, yelling, "Thank you! Gracias!" as we all went by. One of them was dressed as a gorgeous blue Santa Muerte, the Mexican patron saint of healing and protection. 1/2

Trump is determined to rig the 2026 elections by rallying GOP-led states up to gerrymander their congressional maps. For live updates and the most comprehensive coverage on where states’ redistricting efforts stand, check out our new interactive tracker👇 https://bit.ly/47tdiN9

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing. Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

Someone reboot @SenSchumer” CHARLAMAGNE shreds Schumer & @RepJeffries and other Dems for not backing Zohran who has the people behind him — as they run senior citizens and insist Dem voters fall in line every time

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Socialism for the rich. Bootstraps for the rest of us.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Donald also stopped food deliveries to food banks. That anyone can't see this is intentional is maddening.

A sitting president opening a betting market on his own website taking bets on things he influences. Wild times.

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

While the top 1% control $54 TRILLION (not a typo)

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

If you mean that apology, then show it by fixing the damage you did. Go tell those who voted for him because you tacitly gave them permission with your mocking of us. FIX IT. Otherwise, this is just more performative bullshit from yet another white man unaffected by the damage he's done.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

I know you’re a bodybuilder, but use your noggin this time. Nearly half of those who receive food stamps work. Of the rest, most are over 65 or disabled. Wages are too low for tens of millions, and Social Security isn’t enough for many elderly.

Another great reason to vote for Mamdani.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

It's also a subsidy for farmers.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

If you don't know who Dolores Huerta is, please research her. Keep in mind you'll find much sexist/racist/capitalist misinfo, so pick your source carefully. In a fairer world, there would be as many Dolores Huerta Avenues as their are Cesar Chavez Streets.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

If you tell me to compromise on people's rights for some nebulous greater good I will always say Yours First Then. I am a Black man. That means I am both marginalized and privileged. As a marginalized person encroaching on the rights of others offends me. As a privileged person it also offends me.

You can’t call it a big tent if to include some people you throw out others. That’s just a carousel.

For the Americans I know you don’t hear much global news but Ireland just elected Catherine Connolly as our president by a laaaaandslide ✊🏽

Another good sign that people are acting against the worldwide trend towards authoritarianism. I hope, in the end, we USians prove to be as smart as the Irish. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

In the middle of all the horror, a little bit of hope. Thank you, Bob.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Good lord, the stupidity of these people. It buuuurns. Has this fuckstain really never wondered why, in old cemeteries, there were tiny graves next to almost every woman's grave?

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Since pissing on Reagan's grave is on my bucket list, I share Sherrilyn's horror at me willingly reposting one of his speeches.

How many women have to die. How many women have to suffer. Why don't more men give even half a shit.

Dear Louvre Thieves: How fast do you think you could get the Epstein Files?

Can someone please hire the thieves who robbed the Louvre to steal the Epstein Files?

Thank god. One less thing on the list of things to call and bitch at my reps about.

HIS OWN Justice Department that is definitely under his full control. You can't make this shit up.

Good.

*Throws entire folder of paper in the air and walks away*

Well…here’s one of those GOP plants I was talking about. I shoulda listened to everyone saying he was Fetterman 2.0. My bad.
