@aoc.bsky.social and her staff raised enough money to buy turkeys for 1700 families in her NY14 district. There was a surplus of $23,000 which was donated to local food pantries.

This is what any congressperson could be doing with their position & platform.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

Kegbreath's gender insecurity is on display again but is this really a bad thing? Scouting encourages a wide range of values & skills, should be more than a pipeline of youth for the military to recruit.

196 million people shop Thanksgiving weekend. If even a fraction of us refuse to bankroll companies enabling harm, the message is seismic. Skip Target, Amazon, and Home Depot.
Protect your community.

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.

Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.

The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.

WHYYYYY

We have just released a special limited edition 60th Anniversary Selma T-shirt

The Selma marches brought international attention to the brutality of racist segregation and Alabama’s denial of voting rights to Blacks.

*Airstrikes* aren't supposed to happen during a ceasefire.

This is Israel flagrantly defying a truce.

They're committed to a Final Solution as odious & contemptible as anything perpetrated by any of their genocidal predecessors.

Israel is a terrorist state.

"One of the most dangerous dynamics you can have in leadership is a man whose own insecurity, anger & rage drive his impulses.

"He was a bad seed from the beginning, foisted on the world by a culture that rewards brash mediocrity & a greedy fawning press that never much bothered with the details."
“Even a mild glance at the circumstances surrounding that situation leaves one with the impression of a well-planned mob hit - to take out folks who were talking to the federal authorities investigating money-laundering in his Atlantic City casinos.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Anyone interested in a resolution condemning fascism?

Anyone?

Maybe?

No?

Okay.
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.

86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Extraordinary coverage of the state of modern "conservatism" in the US, an rapidly expanding far-right movement looking to remake the American state.

A movement where Reagan is passé and Hitler is OK.
