The USA made a big mistake after the Civil War by not holding the Seditious Confederates accountable and responsible for the deaths and suffering and destruction they intentionally caused.
If MAGA is swept from government WE must not repeat that bad decision.

Nasty Oligarch Cuomo didn't have the good sense to remain a private citizen. His addiction to power and fame set him up for this rejection by voters.

Criminal Trump uses the power to pardon to free criminals who have hurt the people and government of the USA. HE belongs in prison for endangering all of us!
Republicans aid and abet his crimes.

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Employers that pay poverty level wages are a major cause for the many living condition problems in the USA. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Crime.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Republicans have traded loyalty to Criminal, Traitor, Con Man Trump for their Oath of Office, their humanity, and whatever spiritual beliefs they may have by intentionally STARVING USA CITIZENS.

Hey Trump,
The Presidency is not a position anyone inherits.
Neither is it a permanent job. Focus on serving 330 million USA citizens - not yourself.

In a not so "sexy" race, Democrats retained their majority on the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court, which is a big deal! Great job Pennsylvania

The Trump administration COULD fund the entire SNAP program in November

They decided to only PARTIALLY fund the program-and only after a court said they must

Why partly fund it

Because they think it’ll force Democrats to end the shutdown

They’re starving Americans to play political games

And still scared of women, black people, trans people, immigrants, rainbow sidewalks, vaccines?

The power of bullies and tyrants is in their willingness to do what others believe is UNTHINKABLE.
Do NOT underestimate them.
The most successful of them may be nuts, but most are intelligent and stubborn enough to do lots of damage to you and others.

"Nobles" don't inconvenience themselves for serfs, common folks, or ruffian rabble!
If the commoners suffer, it is expected that they sacrifice for the better, Noble, real people.
