I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Billionaires added $2.2 TRILLION in wealth in 2025.

Elon Musk grew his wealth by $187 billion.

Jeff Bezos grew his wealth by $14.6 billion.

Mark Zuckerberg grew his wealth by $26 billion.

The Trump era has been good to Trump’s billionaire donors, & terrible for the rest of us.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Republicans shut down the government.

Workers are being furloughed or working without pay.

The price of health care is skyrocketing.

But don’t worry, the President is focused on what matters most—continuing the construction of his new ballroom.
The Trump administration has announced construction of the White House ballroom will continue during the government shutdown.

This was after Colbert was canceled. Which was two months ago.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This is just objectively the exact opposite of the truth. Every serious effort to actually quantify the ideological valence of political violence has found the reverse of what Vance claims.
Vance: “People on the left are much likelier to defend and celebrate political violence. This is not a both sides problem. If both sides have a problem, then one side has a much bigger and malignant problem and that is the truth.”

Jeffries isn't the one. He proves it again. The Democratic leadership needs to go. The party has its lowest rating in modern history because of these cowards who bend the knee to corporate donors

Mamdani is going to win & they're all gonna look weak. Also he lives in a rent stabilized apartment.

Hakeem Jeffries has taken $1,742,105 from the pro-Israel lobby, so—instead of spending his time fighting the authoritarian takeover of this country—he is on TV helping spread lies about Zohran Mamdani.

Jeffries does not serve the people, nor is he an opposition leader.

He’s a part of the problem.

I’m a Jew who lived in NYC for a decade and decided to leave due to affordability issues. The idea that Zohran doesn’t take Jewish safety seriously is ridiculous and racist.

It’s so harmful to conflate support for Jewish supremacy in Israel with concern for Jewish safety in the United States.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.
Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Instead of wringing their hands over him, Democrats should follow Zohran Mamdani's lead. Some thoughts...
