The challenges we face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy. And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy.

📌All the bigots asking why the mayor of New York City is presiding over the remembrance of the 9/11 attacks, need to shut up and explain to us why they support the traitor who attacked us Jan. 6.

The only reason that some people are demanding Mayor Mamdani skip the 9/11 ceremony is pure Islamophobia. Period.

Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner met today to see what they have in common. It turns out to be only one thing: A stupefying fear of progressive Democrats accomplishing lots of things that will help people.

At least 52 people have died in ICE custody since Trump returned to the White House. At least 23 people have been shot at by federal immigration agents. And thousands more have been caged, separated from their families, or shipped off to dangerous countries. The cruelty is endless.

The Odyssey was about being kind to everyone you meet, for they may be gods in disguise. It was also about the idea that when you destroy another nation, you destroy your own. Of course MAGA hates this message. They violate the fragile social bonds that uphold society. The president is a rapist.

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he could not articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if and when Iran flexed its control over the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Trump is cornered, and he’s going stark-raving mad.

so if I visit the nation's capital right now: half the White House is rubble, the south lawn is dead, there's a UFC lighting rig obstructing my view of the building, there's green shit growing in the reflecting pool, which now has a fence around it, and there are armed military roaming the streets?

The amount of money in Musk's bank account is not a measure of his genius or even the "value" of his companies. It is rather a measure of the gullibility of investors and the greed of the industry that is designed to harness that to fuel their own wealth creation.
