The idea that “WE SHOULDN’T NORMALIZE TRUMP” is utterly deluded. He is normalized, he is the president by the failure of US liberalism, Black and Brown coworkers of mine voted for him.
But Mamdani meeting him and being cordial is somehow normalization or bending the knee? Ludicrous

The Case for a Third Reconstruction - Dissent Magazine
The scale and depth of the attack on our institutions means that there is no simple way for a pro-democracy coalition to flip the lights back on after Trump. We need transformative thinking.

Only reformist social democrats normalize fascists and treat them with respect, they will always betray the working class unlike true revolutionaries…

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Chicago had a corporate head tax for years, and ending it shifted the cost onto regular residents. Bringing it back would apply only to the largest 3 percent of companies, not small businesses.

Working people shouldn’t face higher property taxes or grocery fees while wealthy corporations get tax breaks. Companies like Amazon and JP Morgan Chase rely on Chicago’s workforce and services, and they can afford to pay more.
