Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Take note
Zohran Mamdani did this as a state assemblyman and mayoral candidate polling at like 3%, and he springboarded from this moment to yesterday’s win. His campaign got a huge boost from Brad Lander’s viral moment of legal resistance and illegal arrest. I hope people with political ambition take note
Wow. Watch this from Zohran Mamdani. It looks like the exact "fight" and "conviction" people are hopelessly asking for from the people in charge of the Democratic party:

Although Indigenous human rights and dignity have always been under attack, we remain resistant and strong. Beauty, strength, resilience, we continue to make ancestors proud.

Today especially, and every day, is a good day to be Indigenous! Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! 🧡

Bill C-5 violates the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate Indigenous peoples, diminishes environmental oversight, and puts workers and communities at risk.
