The Zohran campaign has been inspiring & is a model for us all from now on. Zohran never backed off socialist principles, but did not engage in performative ultra-leftism or scolding.
Socialism is about optimism that a better world is possible, it's nice to be reminded of that.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles
The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

And look, don’t forget the authoritarians don’t want you to have hope they want you to throw up your hands and despair and give up. That’s all the more reason to get out there.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Well and fairly stated, Honorée. What I saw when I was a public defender was indeed a de facto slave trade.
“Back in the slave trade”?
My brother, I know you mean well, but what do you think the US prison system has been since the end of the Civil War?
That’s why many prison reform activists call themselves abolitionists.
