Ctrl+F > Trans The problem isn't that Moulton isn't telling us his good progressive ideas. It's that no one believes for a second that he has any ideas beyond "give me the job." www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/o...
Moulton said, means that “obviously, whatever Senator Markey has been doing or not doing with regards to housing hasn’t worked.” He said that expanded rail transit could improve housing affordability and that Mr. Markey’s proposed transportation plan is out of the “1910s.”

Revolution is not something one man does; it’s something the people do together, for humanity. Fidel was not perfect. The revolution is not perfect. But for me, and millions of others, they are inspiration. We will keep trying, keep improving. Viva la revolución: 100 años, 1,000 años, para siempre

I believe in the Cuban revolution: without doubt, without hesitation. I support the struggle to overthrow capitalist oppression everywhere. I support collective efforts to build a free, just, and classless society. I support human endeavor, universal education, and protecting our natural environment

Fascist worms like Trump and Marco Rubio are trying to make dissent illegal, so they can profit off the humanitarian crisis they are causing in Cuba and crack down on leftist opposition. It is important to be firm in our principles, speak it loudly, and never turn our backs on our Cuban comrades

I first went to Cuba in 2023 with DSA, and I led the delegation in fall of 2025. What I saw there was a people who are committed to the revolution, and care about each other. A government that serves the people of Cuba, not for the profit of a few rich assholes.

Today is Fidel Castro’s 100th birthday. I want to say a bit about what Fidel and Cuba mean to me, personally. The way the July 26th movement overthrew a brutal dictatorship, went on to build a socialist nation, and defend it for 67+ years, gives me hope. We can triumph over capitalism.

It's the last week before Senate recess and @kaine.senate.gov is forcing a vote on SJ Res 193 to prevent Trump from using US money to attack Cuba. The blockade is itself an act of war! Call your Senators and tell them no war on Cuba, lift the blockade and Let Cuba Live!
Vote yes on the War Powers resolution, call your senators 202 224 3121 tell them to vote yes on SJ Res 193. Hands off Cuba

The Cuba War Powers resolution is coming to the floor Tuesday the 28th. Call your Senators and tell them to vote YES on S.J. Res 124, to prevent war on Cuba. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Spread this to your chapter, to your caucus, your normie friends, all your group chats. All hands on deck!
Vote yes on the war powers resolution flyer. Hands off Cuba. Little marco and Trump's stupid faces in black and white.
