2 National Guard soldiers shot near Farragut Square in Washington, D.C. Heavy police presence, both victims injured, conditions unknown.
The reason we don't have gun reform is the NRA uses money they don't pay taxes on, to bribe Republicans not to.

Both walked away stronger. T gained legitimacy thru proximity to a socialist victor. M gained access & cooperation thru cordial tone. The system stayed exactly where it was.

The meeting showed how easily a left project that prioritizes cost of living can be absorbed into the political logic of the system it aims to confront.
Mamdani, Trump, and the Dangers of Affordability Politics
When Mamdani meets Trump on affordability, capitalism gets cheaper without becoming less exploitative.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Don’t show anyone claiming to be ICE any identification unless they show you theirs. And even then, tell them to go fuck themselves. Do not answer them and do not acknowledge them when they speak to you. Unless you see a warrant or an ID, that’s nobody.

What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

UPDATE: Today a federal court blocked the unprecedented efforts by the IRS to share data on millions of taxpayers with ICE.
This is an important win for millions of people, and represents the first injunction against this unlawful data sharing.
