I stopped any support of DNC back in 2015! DNC is SO VERY responsible for the breakdown of democracy in the US that is absolutely ridiculous. Until there is a complete revamp of the DNC anti-democracy institution people should look elsewhere to fix the Trump Dicktatorship situation!

My reply to all DNC fundraising emails:

"Until you stop supporting old, establishment Dems like Mills rather than Platner, and start supporting progressive candidates like Mamdani, I'll be giving to individual candidates who actually give a shit about change rather than paying lip service to it." 🖕

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

Wanna stop getting calls and texts from me about Prop 50? Send your ballot in today. That removes you from the contact lists, and helps phone bankers use their time more effectively :)

Mental Health Day reminder:
Storms are part of the journey. They shake things up, tear things down, and leave us raw. But they also clear space for something new. Healing isn’t linear, and growth doesn’t always look graceful. But it is happening. Keep going.

Universities need to recognize that they are being targeted because of what they represent, not because of what they've failed to do, and resist accordingly.

Anti-Mamdani super PACs have joined forces to try to stop Zohran from becoming the next Mayor of NYC.

Oil industry heir and director of Chevron John Hess has donated $1 million alone. But all their money means nothing when the people are united.

Keep up the momentum for Mamdani 💪🏾
