The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Thousands of Starbucks workers are on strike for a living wage and better working conditions. Stand with them by boycotting Starbucks until it can strike a fair contract. sbworkersunited.org

Zohran Mamdani has called for a boycott of Starbucks until the company can bargain a fair contract with its striking workers. We joined members of the mayor-elect's team on the Starbucks picket line in NYC.

It's not a matter of whether or not we'll have such tribunals. It's whether or not we can still manage to have them in prosecution of fascist Republicans for crimes against humanity. If we can't, fascist Republicans will eventually hold them against everyone else for the crime of humanity.
Happy to chat with the administration about the Nuremberg tribunals.

Including about the crime of enforced disappearance and the limits of the defense of superior orders.
Hey look POTUS calling for military tribunals

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.
