“Vote blue no matter who” is what got y’all Fetterman, even when Black people up there TOLD YALL who he was long before he got elected.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.
If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.
Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

My completely unpleasant take is that you cannot make a career of inciting others to violence and normalizing using politics as a motive for violence and expect a good outcome. There has been a decade of sewing. And the reaping is of a bitter bloody harvest. My condolences to the children.

Imagine leading FEMA and not believing in emergency management. You’d think, as a former governor, she’d know what was going on.
But I guess this is what you get when the president’s cabinet is full of unqualified conspiracy theorists.
The American people deserve better.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm.
We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.
