I am here to discuss politics in a non-abrasive way. Politics are important, believe it or not. There is no such thing as an apolitical billionaire (I'm not a billionaire or even close).

I hope organized labor is proactive during this shutdown.

They aren't just coming after government workers.

The vile anti-Muslim hate directed at Zohran Mamdani is not about policy issues or even defeating him-it’s about inciting violence against him. This is their back up plan bc they know Zohran is going to win. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-anti-m...

The Washington Post editorial board comes out in support of Trump tearing down the East Wing and building a massive ballroom. That is wrong. But what is unethical is that the owner of the Post, Jeff Bezos, is donating millions to build the ballroom (via Amazon) yet they did NOT Mention that.
People don't pay attention and Senator terms are long.

The subminimum wage is a vestige of slavery that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown workers, specifically women, the most. On the two year anniversary of passing the One Fair Wage Ordinance in Chicago, we reaffirm our commitment ensuring all workers are heard, seen, and valued.

The Democratic Party is spineless.

It’s damn near a year after the party got blown out by the Republicans and the party still can’t even commit to Medicare for All, despite over 80% of Democratic voters supporting it.

In fact, the party still doesn’t have a platform!

The first independent poll of the race, from UNH.

Grateful for the people of Maine who have my back.
They're coming after this man hard.

Much of this story is out of touch, privileged online leftists virtue signaling to each other. Many of whom aren't even based in the US. Smh

He has to at least experience the inside of a jail cell for committing Contempt via—of all things—Assault.

If he is not locked up briefly (24 hours) he is not going to understand the severity of his conduct, nor will anyone in his entire organization.

Former special counsel Jack Smith is asking to testify in an open hearing.
Let the truth come out, the American people deserve transparency — and we have a right to know if Trump incited or led an insurrection against our own country.
It's not. I didn't know about the totenkoft until a twitch streamer i watch (Hasan) pointed it out.

TBH I thought it looked like the symbol for the Skull and Bones society at Yale. ☠️

My point is that not everyone knows about relatively obscure (I know it's not obscure to you) symbols.
This is just online nerd virtue signaling, and frankly it's a bit classist.

Did you know that the clover leaf is also a Nazi symbol among prison gangs in the US? You probably didn't.

I guarantee you most US senators don't know that either.

Not the WSJ having the only even moderately acceptable push alert here.

NYT and NBC with basic journalism fails here.
This is unhinged. Cuomo is desperate.
No, I just called out a smear attempt and some folks don't like it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Most people don't watch Inglorious Bastards, and zoom in on the insignia.

If it were a swastika, I'd totally agree with you, but it is a stretch to assume that this symbol is as well known as the cross and Superman logo.

I disagree that serving in the military means one is acting like a Nazi.
