When we invest in housing, health care, and jobs, we build a future where we all thrive.

Together across race, background, and gender, we keep each other safe by addressing the root causes of harm.

Someone you love could go hungry this month because the MAGA regime and the corporate cowards that support them are stealing food from our families while they:

💔 Cut our healthcare
📈 Raise our prices
🚔 Abduct our neighbors

We must join together to #FreeAmerica from their rule.

With @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's victory in the NYC mayoral election, we wanted to re-share some important lessons for all of us organizing for a brighter future for all, no exceptions.

What are other lessons on narrative and messaging that you’re taking away from the campaign?
Blue background with large header text: “LEADING WITH VALUES” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s campaign is relentless about what his candidacy is about: Affordability, dignity, and a better quality of life for all. When people tried to pull him off of this values-based message, he did not take the bait. Instead, he provided a concise, direct response and pivoted quickly to the future-forward values central to his platform. Mamdani reminds us that we don’t have to give more airtime to our opponents; instead, we should be proactive with our values and our messages.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 3 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “USING SIMPLE LANGUAGE” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s campaign platform was chock full of simple, straightforward, and repeatable language. Too often, candidates lead with detailed policy plans. But instead of going that route, Mamdani talked about free childcare, fast and free buses, freezing the rent, and city-owned grocery stores. This made his platform instantly recognizable and repeatable by millions of New Yorkers, allowing his central message of affordability, dignity, and a better quality of life to spread beyond the reach of his campaign team.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 4 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “EMPLOYING CREATIVE TACTICS” Body text reads: “Mamdani’s opposition often derided his campaign’s use of video. But what they failed to see was that his campaign was using video, social media, and more broadly, the culture to energize his base of supporters, who were more likely to see, click on, and spread his content online. We also applaud the times when he spoke Spanish, Arabic, or Hindi in videos, which showed New Yorkers across races, languages, and origins that they too belong and are a part of the future of New York City.” Bottom right corner text: “SWIPE RIGHT >>>” Slide 5 Alt Text: Blue background with large header text: “CENTERING ORGANIZING” Body text reads: “The Mamdani campaign didn’t just go for clicks and likes; they translated that digital engagement into on-the-ground organizing efforts, canvassing neighborhoods across the boroughs. We also know that Mamdani’s campaign platform was built upon decades of organizing, particularly in neighborhoods of color, by groups like CAAAV, Desis Rising Up & Moving, NY Communities for Change, and many more. It’s a reminder that we cannot have a sharp, winning narrative strategy without a disciplined organizing strategy that builds power from the ground-up.”

The MAGA regime is letting big corporate polluters poison our air, land & water for profit.

But united across race and place, we can fight for clean air & water, green jobs, and a future where all of us can thrive.

Caption: “I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life.” Bottom panel: Henry Winkler as Dr. Saperstein in a lavish office surrounded by piles of money. He’s labeled “GREEDY POLITICIANS” and responds: “I know this, and I love you.”

Someone you love could go hungry this November because the MAGA regime is catering to billionaires while starving our families.

But no matter our race, background, or what's in our wallets, we are doing whatever it takes to feed our families.

Here's how ⬇️

This rebrand of the Daily Mail by @everyonehateselon.bsky.social fits so well w/ our current moment.

The MAGA regime wants us the point the finger at each other — blaming Black, brown, trans, queer, Native & new Americans — while their billionaire bullies steal the wealth our work creates.
Photo of a fake newspaper front page styled like the Daily Mail. The masthead reads: “Daily Mail – New True Edition.” The bold headline says: “WE BLAME MIGRANTS SO YOU DON’T BLAME BILLIONAIRES.” Subheadline: “Revealed: we want you looking the other way while our super-rich mates rob you blind.” A red box labeled “EXCLUSIVE” is followed by fake article text, which satirically admits that the paper blames migrants to distract readers from wealthy elites who avoid taxes, pollute, and exploit workers.

📺 WATCH: @texasaflcio.org shared a powerful speech from a recent rally against the MAGA regime's attacks on our freedom to vote. The speech:

✅ includes race-forward language
✅ leads with values
✅ provides clear language about what they want to win — fair voting maps for all.

🎃 Happy Halloween!

Don't fall for the MAGA regime’s tricks. They use racism, hate & fear to harm us all.

But we’ve got the treat: People coming together to call out the villains, expose their hateful agenda and fight for a future where we all have the freedom to thrive.
Three-panel Scooby-Doo meme. Panel 1: Fred and the gang face a masked villain with the caption: “WHO IS STEALING THE WEALTH THAT OUR WORK CREATES?” Panel 2: Fred unmasks the villain, revealing a note that says: “USING HATE, RACISM, AND FEAR SO WE POINT THE FINGERS AT EACH OTHER” Panel 3: The mask is off, revealing the real culprit labeled: “THE MAGA REGIME”

This short video from @fundmifuture.bsky.social is great at focusing on what our taxes pay for, including sidewalks, roads, and school buses.

When billionaires finally pay what they owe in taxes, we can fund the care, support, and services that our families need.

🎃 This Halloween season, we’re not afraid to unmask the real villains.

The Trump regime tries to scapegoat us based on where we live, who we love, and what we look like, while they hide in plain sight.

But we aren't falling for it.

People of every race, place & faith know that together we have more power than the fossil fuel CEOs burning our planet for profit.

We can't let them divide us. We must demand clean air, water & energy our families can count on.

Over 7 million people took to the streets to say: #NoKings.

The Trump regime wants us to feel isolated & afraid as they steal our wealth, strip our health care & abduct our neighbors.

But we are everywhere—demanding our freedoms, protecting our families & claiming our futures.

Let our marches on Saturday live up to all that MAGA fears: a massive, unified chorus of Americans across races, places, genders and - yes - parties that rejects fascism and is ready to demand our freedoms, protect our families and claim our futures.

Confronted with the peaceful resistance of everyday people loving their neighbors, this regime of the bullies for the billionaires inflicts violence. Thank you, again, all who confront this evil & greatest hopes your safety & continued strength.

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

Our ability to care for our families shouldn't be based on our race, background, or genders.

The MAGA regime’s Murder Law takes away our freedom to care for our families.

We must #FreeAmerica of this regime of the bullies, for the billionaires.

Indigenous people have always been here — protecting the land, sustaining community, and leading with care.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor their leadership and legacy, and recommit to the fight for Native sovereignty, self-determination, and a future where we all can thrive.

Grassroots orgs in MN including @isaiahmn.org and 100 Percent MN used the RCN to counter fear-mongering, build a multiracial chorus of people singing from the same songbook, and win a Democratic trifecta for the first time in years.

These @workingfamilies.org memes make it clear that we have more in common with each other than the billionaires who are picking our pockets & stealing the wealth our work creates.

Together we are going to build a world where everyone will have the freedom to thrive — no exceptions.

Let's be clear: We should not call this a "government shutdown." This is our leaders saying

❌ No to the hostile takeover of our government.
❌ No to funding a war against Americans.
❌ No funding for fascism.
❌ No dollars for dictatorship.
❌ No bankrolling billionaires.
