The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

This gangster government steals everyone’s property and doesn’t care about the laws respecting the rights of creators. Everything they see belongs to them like the greedy leeches on this country that they are.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

After the chaos Trump and Musk unleashed, next year could be a make-or-break year for Social Security.
We need every member of Congress to stay laser-focused on protecting and expanding our Social Security system.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1
CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1
Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Thanksgiving and the National Day of Mourning.
This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.
From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.

One homicidal white man has never been used as an excuse to criminalize all white men. We should not allow that to happen to immigrants in the aftermath of this DC shooting.

People keep saying what Mamdani did in NYC isn't replicable elsewhere because NYC is so different and I just keep wanting to remind everyone that in VERY recent history NYC had Republican mayors for TWENTY STRAIGHT YEARS.
Anything is possible.

In which I tell @laurenleaderait.bsky.social something I’ve noticed in my reporting abt “electability”: Dozens of men have lost their bids for president, and I never run into strategists or voters who question if the whole gender should just pack it in for a while. www.notus.org/perspectives...
Michelle Obama Is Wrong: Women Can Win.
We need to stop saying they can't, because it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Starbucks' CEO is paid $95.8 MILLION.
The median worker at Starbucks makes $14,674 a year.
Instead of recognizing its worker union, Starbucks writes off its union-busting expenses on its taxes.
That's why Starbucks workers are striking today.
I won't cross the picket line.
