The view coming from the majority of the world openly considers the United States a nation of cowards, thieves, pedophiles, and murderers gaining infamy at the same level as Russia. The century of US humiliation is now in full swing.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Economic populism all the way. It’s working people vs the elites. No left or right. Only distractions aimed to divide ourselves further from the real problems. #SundayThoughts

We’ve defended civil liberties nationwide for over a century and through 15 different presidential administrations, and this last year was no different.
We’re not backing down in the defense of our civil liberties against the Trump administration.

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually
When power went out across all of Puerto Rico on 16 April, a lot of the lights in the town of Adjuntas stayed on. A combination of experimental microgrids, solar panels, and storage kept power on for many businesses and residents.

Could Microgrids Be Puerto Rico's Answer to Endless Blackouts?
Meanwhile, feds redirect $365 million away from solar toward grid fixes

Not only has ICE’s budget skyrocketed past those of other federal law enforcement agencies, but the money is increasingly being handed out to contractors without first collecting competing bids.
The vast, terrifying scale of Trump’s detention state
With $75 billion and thousands of masked agents, ICE is just getting started.

When the far right GOP calls every social safety net “socialism,” votes like this matter in a policy context.
My opponent Brad Schneider (D) voting with the GOP in favor of this resolution is showing his ultra-wealthy donors exactly who he's fighting for.
It’s not the people.

The blue no matter who people, who spent years telling the left to enjoy the camps for telling them that transphobia and genocide are wildly unpopular election-losing positions, ended up voting for a sexual predator *not* running as a democrat who was endorsed by Trump, Musk, and Miller. Who lost.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.
