Remember how, if asked, new Yorkers would say not to ever vote for trump? I'm a Chicagolander: Do NOT vote for Rahm. He was dumb enough to actually hire Musk's Boring co to drill tunnels through the existing tunnels under Chicago, for a drive to ohare, when there's ALREADY a train.

Amid outcry, NY prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation into the 7 Cornell gang rapists, a case that was covered up 2 years ago. These assholes would’ve been punished if they had written “free Palestine” instead of “free p*ssy.” Cornell leadership should be investigated too.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

Walmart spent $43.4B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2025, enough to give each of its 2.1M workers annual bonuses of $2,953. Last year, retiring CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $29.2M — his largest payday ever and 958x Walmart's median worker pay of $30,520. Textbook corporate greed.

The ONLY reason why he did it is because someone told him he would lose the support of Tennessee and other red states if he didn’t lower the flags. He did it out of self preservation. He didn’t do it after Rep. Melissa Hortman was murdered, he wanted to piss off Minnesota.
