trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

My office was proud to join the Mental Health Association of Tompkins County for the ribbon cutting of its new space. For 72 years, the Association has served our community, and I’m thrilled that you now have a permanent home to continue that vital work for years to come.

a refrain you’ll hear from sectarians before convention is that you should feel shame for being in DSA, that more “advanced” “revolutionary” socialists look down on us
but those folks don’t exist. DSA is the largest, most advanced socialist org in generations. you can’t make me ashamed of it

We must make the minimum wage a livable one. If elected to council, I will bring legislation forward to do just that.

The impossible leftist purity standards of "don't be a sex monster" and "maybe don't let your political donors kill elderly people in their care while hawking your book about how you solved covid"
So funny to see the left’s circular firing squad forming around Cuomo. Disagree on policy, not purity.

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth.
Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.

Marco Rubio fundamentally misunderstands his entire situation. He thinks he can get a seat at the table of white supremacy, but it’s never going to happen. He’s part of their con. He’ll NEVER be in. Doomed to serve as the face of the internalized shame that drives Latino men down the Trumpian path.
