We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Democrats cannot defeat authoritarian fascism without an agenda that stands squarely on the side of working people.

We need a pro-worker, pro-democracy, anti-establishment movement that will take on oligarchy like never before.

Dictatorship is not upheld by the tyrant alone, but by the structure of power and the public’s acceptance of it.

“Dismantling a dictatorship is not easy, but it is a lot easier than holding one together.” #BindingChaos #3E #NoKings #RefuseFascism

Trump bust being overthrow by people, quote from Heather Marsh in "How to Dismantle a Dictatorship": “Dismantling a dictatorship is not easy, but it is a lot easier than holding one together.”

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?

Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

Big Money is The System

The system needs to be burnt down so that a new one can be built. One that respects people, planet, and inherent human dignity.

“The system” is working as intended, it’s protecting capital.

16 Democrats joined Republicans to advance crypto regulation that's been rubber stamped by the industry — as Trump profits off his own memecoin.

Why?

Crypto corporations have shelled out huge campaign contributions to both parties.

Big Money has corrupted the system.

Criminals. Both of them.
MBS—murderer of the free press. Trump—the orange felon.
One dismembers dissent, the other dismembers democracy.
Now they’re selling off the future to the highest bidder—no borders, just buyers.

This isn’t diplomacy. It’s disaster capitalism in a keffiyeh and a clown suit.🍊🤡

Agreed on Murphy from a core principles perspective.

Would love for him to come out pitching regenerative economics with a vision for just future. Preserving old flawed systems isn’t a winning formula.

OUR CITY, OUR FIGHT: PROTECT MIGRANTS, PROTECT THE PLANET

Signs that caught my eye…
🧵🪡 1/….

#extinctionrebellion
#resistance

A protester in a crowd holds a bold sign reading “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH COMPLICIT REPUBLICANS.” The group is moving down a city street, surrounded by other demonstrators carrying signs including one that says “Habeas Corpus” and another with an American flag. The mood is urgent and focused, reflecting a collective outcry against political complicity and authoritarian drift.

A man in a green T-shirt and baseball cap holds a protest sign high above his head in Midtown Manhattan. The sign reads, “am i the only one who thinks an all white nation would kinda suck?” His expression is serious, standing amid a crowd of fellow demonstrators. The candid scene reflects a strong, unapologetic rejection of white nationalism—straightforward, human, and resonant in the heart of the city.

Two elderly men in brown friar robes stand at a busy New York City intersection, each holding a protest sign that reads “HANDS OFF IMMIGRANT FAMILIES.” Their expressions are solemn yet determined, embodying decades of moral conviction. Around them, a diverse crowd observes in quiet support. The background reveals Midtown’s steel and bustle, contrasting with the humility and clarity of their presence.

A woman stands in a crowd at a protest, holding a handmade sign that echoes Orwellian slogans: “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength,” with “1984” crossed out and replaced by “Trump 2025.” Her expression is fierce and resolute, sunglasses on, gaze steady—embodying defiance and clarity in the face of rising authoritarianism. The scene captures a powerful moment of civic resistance and personal courage.
