The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

Never forget that Mike Johnson has a history of covering for GOP pedophiles.

Before he ran for Congress, Johnson was attempting to open a law school named for Rev. Paul Pressler, the former head of the SBC, and a notorious abuser/rapist of teen boys and young men.

Johnson ignored the reports.

While feeds in the US, Europe, and Israel’s neighbors have been filled with ghastly images of death and harrowing casualty statistics in Gaza, most of this information has not reached the audience that arguably needs to see it most: the Israeli public.

While there is "some joy" in knowing that bombs have stopped falling on Gaza, Israeli historian Ilan Pappé warns that many Israeli leaders remain committed to using violence in order to "wipe out Palestine as a nation, as a people and as a country."

Ilan Pappé's new book is "Israel on the Brink."
