At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

It's pretty damn impressive how much ground Mayor Mamdani has been able to cover after only nine months in office on a wide range of basic quality-of-life issues in NYC. I was reading through the numbers this morning, and they're kinda astonishing. (thread)

A *billion* minutes ago, the Roman Empire was nearly at its height, Christianity was a small persecuted sect, as Christ’s crucifixion was only about a century prior. A billion minutes ago, the year was 123 CE. The word doesn’t need billionaires, certainly not MULTI-BILLIONAIRES. Wealth tax, now.

A *thousand* minutes ago, I was settling down last night after a dinner celebrating our middle daughter’s birthday. A *million* minutes ago, it was 2024, and we were all hopefully by that come November we’d avoid the shitshow we’re currently experiencing (alas).

So much reverence for BILLIONAIRES when that much money can be hard to grasp. Everyone understands $1000 (though we may actually have that much in a bank account), but when we talk about millions or billions of dollars it gets abstract, and fast. So let’s think about it in minutes.

Their intent is solely to muddy the waters and scare folks since they KNOW they’re about to get their asses handed to them by We The People and they’re pulling out all the stops (along with the Bloated One) to mitigate the carnage. DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

Public education, police, fire & emergency services, roads and infrastructure are all publicly funded and managed, which arguably make them “socialist.” What’s more *Democratic Socialists* are NOT advocating for pure socialism.

I want to strengthen my last statement—this *is* an election-rigging scheme. And the fact that there was a conspiracy in the executive branch to hide it makes it likely this constitutes a Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud headed by Donald Trump.

The Democratic Party has an opportunity to once again become the party of working Americans, rather than the party of corporate America. It is more urgent than at any time since the Great Depression that Democrats act on this opportunity.

As for “just stay in a hotel” there *is* significant value to vacation rentals, especially when you have more than 2 kids (3 daughters here). Cramming 5 people in one room/1 bath works for a night or 2, at most, so for a week vacation you’re paying for 2, not to mention eating out for most meals.

Agreed, but with this K-shaped economy the folks benefiting from roaring investments will skew this market in favor of property owners. Once the bubble bursts, demand will drop off significantly and do away with this BS.

Just finished reading Thom Hartmann’s “ADHD - A Hunter in a Farmer’s World” which was revelatory to this 50-something undiagnosed but definitely on the Hunter end of the spectrum. I have 3 daughters and suspect the odds are in their favor there’s a good bit of Hunter in them.
