Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, women don't like waiting in hospital parking lots until they are near death to have life-saving abortions. Maybe they enjoy having a bank account and jobs and voting rights. Maybe they don't want a court judge to decide if they deserve a divorce. Wow, what a mystery.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

You don’t get to do that and still be a good person. FULL STOP.

This is so badass and beautiful and one of the greatest American political ads I have ever seen. A frontal engagement with bigotry, and completely beyond the script of approved political discourse in this nation. May he be protected and kept safe.

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

If the regime leader has already received a payout, then the American people need to sue for damages. Before the regime took power, the DOJ actually had integrity & didn’t bring cases without evidence.
1) Damages to the Capitol on 1/6/21.
2) Frivolous weaponized court cases.

🤯 Rep. Jamie Raskin explains that Donald Trump's lawyers at the DOJ may have already reached a settlement with him on the $230 million he reportedly wants the DOJ to pay him, and we wouldn't necessarily even know.

"I've told the story of Akromiya for 20 years. I’m telling it again now, because today is No King’s Day, and I am afraid that 'Antifa' is the American Akromiya: a fabricated entity made by state propagandists to persecute anyone who opposes the government."

Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.
This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.
