The Trump Regime's bombing of a sovereign nation & kidnapping of its President is a naked act of imperialist aggression that violates international law and puts millions of lives in danger. We have to stand with the people of Venezuela & resist this with solidarity and organizing

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

My office was proud to join the Mental Health Association of Tompkins County for the ribbon cutting of its new space. For 72 years, the Association has served our community, and I’m thrilled that you now have a permanent home to continue that vital work for years to come.

a refrain you’ll hear from sectarians before convention is that you should feel shame for being in DSA, that more “advanced” “revolutionary” socialists look down on us but those folks don’t exist. DSA is the largest, most advanced socialist org in generations. you can’t make me ashamed of it

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.
Cartoon noting the irony that car infrastructure is commonly considered a public investment, and public transit infrastructure is often attacked as a wasteful subsidy, when the opposite is actually true.

Marco Rubio fundamentally misunderstands his entire situation. He thinks he can get a seat at the table of white supremacy, but it’s never going to happen. He’s part of their con. He’ll NEVER be in. Doomed to serve as the face of the internalized shame that drives Latino men down the Trumpian path.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
