Ro Khanna has been fighting for healthcare for ALL of us for years now. He would be a fantastic person to replace Schumer.
Ro Khanna on Chuck Schumer: “Just a moral disgust. Millions of Americans are literally gonna get kicked off healthcare and we can’t fight to make sure their premiums don’t go up after the Tuesday wins? It’s just political malpractice. He needs to be replaced and step down”

The Nurses of NNU have been promoting, campaigning for and lobbying for #MedicareForAll for years. I was in DC for this purpose in 2018. The Bill is there, ready to GO! Let's force them to pass it.
70% of Americans disapprove of this administration’s handling of healthcare. Cutting ACA subsidies is not the solution.

This is the time to make the case and build a broad coalition for Medicare tor All.

I'm not sure who hasn't figured this out yet, but this is a class war. The rich want you to be traumatized, in pain and dying until they have achieved global apartheid. They don't give a shit about you.

This is us now. This man's wife did everything right and now she has "vanished". THIS IS US NOW.
A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! It will be their undoing.

The last of my #blooms are almost gone already. Sigh. Hope everyone has a great day!

LFG!!!
HAPPENING NOW: Protesters march through the streets of Washington, D.C. for a rally against Donald Trump’s failed corrupt administration.

THIS IS WHAT SOLIDARITY LOOKS LIKE! GO UNIONS! JOIN IN!! LFG!!!
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Aaaah, the payback begins...
The Trump administration has killed IRS Direct File, the program that let you file your taxes for free. Direct File will not be operational this coming tax season.

"...Mamdani and his team did not ask permission." "It does not matter how the democratic party reacts to this win." YES!!!! LFG!!!
the take home is that mamdani and his team did not ask permission. they aimed for power, they organized, and they won power

it does not matter how the democratic party reacts to this win. all that matters is that we raise up the people with vision, courage, and energy, and organize them into office

This says it all- YAYYYY! Zohran! USA!
Gave me chills!
This person took this when they called the race

Zohran is a democratic socialist. 👇
The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

This is our country now.
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Having worked with "the Public" for 30+ yrs. and being a woman, this statement resonates with my own experiences. "They are defective and hold back our civilization and species."
Misogyny is the biggest red flag when identifying a likely terrorist, mass murderer, fascist or other regressiveness. A man who hates women will always hate society and try to control or destroy it. They are defective and hold back our civilization and species.

They’ll fight to force women to give birth, then shrug when 16 million children lose food. This is what “pro-life” really looks like.

Went ahead and picked the gardens yesterday evening even though the freeze warning was 60 miles away. #farmlife #gardening #blooms

If nonviolent resistance doesn't work, why are they trying so hard to make it illegal?

Here's the real JD Vance. Another superb liar.👇👇👇
JD Vance, in 2016,
to his college roommate
Josh McLaurin:
"Trump is the fruit of
the party's neglect.
I go back & forth
between thinking
Trump is a cynical asshole
like Nixon
(& might even be useful)
or that he's
America's Hitler.
How's that for discouraging?"

One good things about "these times", it is SO VERY EASY to discern who the racists are. All of them. Watching tv is a waste of time and energy, unless you are studying propaganda and colonialism and racism and capitalism.
Ugly. No wonder she married Stephen Miller.

And the non-reaction from @jaketapper.bsky.social is almost more appalling than her racism.

@cnn.com is clearly in a dark place.
