Living in Southern California. Too old for social media but the times require it. The oligarchs and ego inflated dictators must be stopped. Plus it’s lovely to stay in touch with friends and like minded people.

NEW: Starbucks repeatedly violates labor law, refuses to bargain with its union @sbworkersunited.org, and just announced it's closing 250 stores. Yet CEO Brian Niccol alone took home $31 MILLION last year. End CEO greed. Listen to workers. Boycott Starbucks.

The fact that Talarico is polling so tightly with Paxton says some really awful things about Texans, not to mention Americans in general.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

You might be surprised to hear me say this, but I think Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party. Just not for the reasons you probably think. He has a sharp strategic mind and the credibility to say uncomfortable truths to his own people and be heard rather than exiled.

In 9 months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Secured millions in worker restitution from DoorDash and UberEats -Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program -Cracked down on bad landlords -Balanced NYC's budget without cutting major social services This is what leadership looks like.
