Welcome to the Class War that the 99% of us have been losing for 40 years. Time to fight back, tax the rich, strengthen government and elect leaders who work for the 99% not the oligarchic elites.

Destroying thing is what fascists do because destroying is easy building something is hard. And fascists are not competent/capable people. They are they kids who used to destroy the sand castle to you’d worked on all day because it was beautiful and it made them sad to see something beautiful.

New York Times needs to stop using adjectives like "Centrist" when describing appeasers. What exactly is a "Centrist" today. Someone who's halfway between democrats and fascists? Why not just call them semi-fascists? There are no centrists right now. There are fascists and democrats. Pick a side.

There's a reason the oligarch's 40-year plan started in the 1980's with demonizing unions. Unions are a strong force for the workers to protect them, enrich them and unite them.

At this point the greatest threat to the survival of our democracy is the current Democratic Leadership. They do not understand the assignment. Jeffries and Schumer do not understand what must be done: dismantle the autocracy, prosecute the perpetrators, reform and reinforce our democracy.

Good. Welcome aboard. We need you to help win everywhere. Democratic Socialists are just the FDR Democracts of the 21st Century. Let's get it done. Stop the corruption, pass universal healthcare, expand the court, ban insider trading in Congress, prosecute the illegal actions of the Trumpers.

There are two videos in this thread that are absolutely terrific, one on the general who put the cast through a 10-day basic training which they abhorred and a second on WW2 re-enactors and SCA members who were used in the making of the D-Day scene. Fantastic.

Mayor had an amazing day but the Times always working a negative spin on Mamdani. “Mr. Mamdani’s deep involvement amounted to an audacious gamble for a brand-new mayor trying to lead an already fractious city. He alienated key allies along the way, but the payoffs were far-reaching.”

This is exactly right. We are at war. Democrats need to fight. Establishment Democrats think Americans don't vote for them because they're not "centrist" enough. False. They don't vote for them because they don't FIGHT!
