Republicans are doubling our insurance premiums. They are throwing 15 million people off their health care.

As a result, tens of thousands will unnecessarily die so that the 1% can get a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

Unacceptable. We cannot allow it.

“The September 25 executive actions represent a clear escalation, likely toward the Duterte model of authoritarian control through legalized vigilante violence.”

What’s the deal with Zohran Mamdani’s millionaire tax? Critics say it will never work; the evidence says otherwise. substack.com/home/post/p-...

There are no either/or choices among workplace organizing, direct action, and electoral work: they must go together. Organizing for a 2028 general strike does not require a retreat from political work. convergencemag.com/articles/lab...
Labor’s Strategy Must Lean Into Synergies
The ferocity and scale of onrushing authoritarianism demand that we think beyond binaries. We can’t counterpose electoral and strike action: we need to do both and understand the synergies.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Mamdani's victory is an opportunity for Jews to relearn the art of disagreement
New Yorkers voted for affordability, not criticism of Israel. But American Jews can still learn from Mamdani's triumph.

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway.

I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many
