I'm done waiting for corporate democrats to believe in something.

I’m running for New York's 13th Congressional District to stand up to Trump's fascism and to make public healthcare, housing, and education a right for all.

Great piece by Ta-Nehisi Coates
“what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk’s death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize?”
- Ta-Nehisi Coates

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.

What an indictment of our media.
"So the tariff is paid in this country by the importer, is that right?" -- Eugene Robinson guides Scott Bessent into acknowledging that tariffs are in fact paid in the United States, not by foreign governments

It's never been about crime.

"In 1980, immigrants made up 6.2% of the U.S. population, and the total crime rate was 5,900 crimes per 100,000 people.

By 2022, the share of immigrants had more than doubled, to 13.9%, while the total crime rate had dropped by 60.4%."

The only solution to a broken democracy is more democracy.

This November, vote for a city you can afford. Vote for the politics of the future, not the politics of fear.

They have all the money, but we are the votes. Let's win.

It's unacceptable to treat our public servants and immigrants this way.

Make no mistake, the Trump administration is attacking documented pathways for migration and leveraging enforcement agencies to target dissent.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.
