🙏 All who *must* work to earn a living are members of The Working Class. If the kids of Capitalists don't have INCOME from trust funds, stocks, or their ownership in businesses or property, then they're working-class. They face precarity and insecurity, too. It's basic class solidarity. DSA gets it.

At first I thought it was at best like the Concord jet. Fast but costs too much. Bad business. Then, it was like digital herpes, but that's not fair to herpes. Now, it's clearly code cancer. Data centers are tumors. Most are malignant. Don't let it metastasize. Treat and remove it or die.

Keep asking these questions, Tappers of the world. The answers speak for themselves. Single-payer as planned in the NYHA would ban overlapping private insurance, but you could pay out-of-pocket to doctors and for cosmetic procedures. And doctors would all get paid MORE than by Medicare or Medicaid.

What happened to the Jonas Salks of the world? If these firms benefit from public research, publicly-funded researchers, universities, and talent, they need to pay back into the public trust and offer derived treatments for a penny. No more privatizing the profits from our public goods.

Health care is a human right we all deserve as citizens of the 'wealthiest' nation—can you help pass the New York Health Act (NYHA) in 2027? It'll guarantee every NYer excellent single-payer health insurance untethered to jobs or income. It pays caregivers well, cuts all co-pays, and saves billions!

Should Haley and all Ds fall in behind Abdul with a 'vote blue no matter who' push-- just back the hell out of him and lay out the stakes as you do--he has the best shot by far to clinch it. Any more petty BS, lying, slinging Ismalophobia and insinuations will be right-wing Ds shitting the bed.

It's public money--there's no such thing as tax dollars. Literally every $ is printed to be spent on appropriations and bills. We should deduct the bill from the Pentagon and Homeland Security's budget in a zero sum austerity manner. Close bases. Cancel arms contracts. Don't touch social programs.

WTF? DSA is locking in Democratic wins and finally igniting youth turnout. Most of the Dem establishment appear more like never-Trump Rs in their records and what they want is to maintain a pro-corporate power structure. Those of us in the DSA reject that. And it's why a plurality is voting left.

Anti-working class papers like the NYT try to sell pro-Israel folks as progressive. They called Espaillat that due to his CPC membership. There are about 100 people in Congress in the CPC, or 1/5th of the entire body & almost half of House Dems. They're def reputation-washing. I hope you're right.

We need a democratic socialist movement. Progressive means about as much as middle class. No one knows exactly what it is and people assisting genocidal wars, against M4A, and pro-privatization of public goods claim to be progressive. We need a working-class movement to right this unjust system.

Spain won multiple times against Argentina in this game. They out-passed, out-played, out-cooperated, and out-worked a team with so many cheating advantages, overlooked fouls, and free kicks. The Trump curse is real. The fascist curse is real. Amazing victory by España!

The real fascists and their enablers are kidnapping people and locking them in concentration camps, killing residents in cold blood, and using straight up Nazi rhetoric to justify cruel xenophobia and soft eugenics. Funding genocide. As a Jew, I condemn those actions first and foremost.

The privatization of our educational system has been a travesty and must be reversed with a robustly funded public education system where teachers earn what ICE agents currently do. Abolish ICE to accomplish this. Problem solved!

Nationally, there are 33 affordable apartments for every 100 low income households who need one. Yes, there are vacant homes. There are also landlords destroying rent-stabilized buildings to gentrify. It's not just quantity and supply. We have a rent crisis, not a housing crisis.

Did anyone in Congress investigate Epstein and refer him to the DOJ for a RICO case while he was alive? No. They've been in cahoots with the billionaires, friends, clients, and associates of JE with cabinets littered with them. This is part of the anti-establishment push from the left.

Mexico just passed universal health care at 18% of GDP. How much do OECD nations pay per capita for health care compared to the USA tho? Last I checked it was close to half what we pay w/ 0 medical bankruptcy. If we cut our annual health spend in half and shift it to taxes it's a massive savings.

How much of the OECD's public goods are locked up in scummy predatory loans known as privatization, like water, power, roads, and other systems? We've left trillions on the table for fast scraps. Billionaires and trillion-dollar corps can cover a lot and M4A would cost 1/2 what we now pay.

My culture is socialism & all care for all people. Cut everything that's not needed to get there: pentagon budgets, ice, police, for-profit prisons--all of which are a horrible burden on health and well-being of our citizenry. Also, free education & better rates for social security and disability.
