Do better. Call your buddy George W. Bush and show up together in Minneapolis.

Don’t just write statements. DO something with your megaphone.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

“This is un-American“ is anti-Indigenous, anti-Black gaslighting and if you find that inconvenient imagine how our colonized and enslaved ancestors felt and grow the fuck up

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

We must stop tinkering around the edges of a broken healthcare system.

Yes, let's extend the ACA tax credits to prevent a huge spike in healthcare costs for millions. Then, let's finally create a system that puts your health over corporate profits.

We need Medicare for All.

My Post headline Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11 The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.
