Juneteenth is a reminder that none of this is ancient history. For example, people who think Emmett Till was "so long ago" should be reminded that 10 current members of Congress are older than him, and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who falsely accused him only died 3 years ago.

It’s not ancient history. It’s not even history. It’s contemporary reality.

The United States spent billions in arms to bomb Syria. One effect is a generation of children who have lost their hearing as a result of those bombs.

I am going on a humanitarian mission to Syria to provide children hearing aids. And I want you to join the cause to help bring some healing to those children our tax dollars harmed. Here's how:

If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity.

If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage.

This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.

As you watch the World Cup, remember that Israel is participating despite their globally acknowledged genocide of Palestinians, USA is participating despite their funding of that genocide, and illegal invasion of Iran, and illegal kidnapping of Marduro, and illegal mass murder of Venezuelan fisherman—all while Russia is banned due to their illegal invasion of Ukraine.

This isn’t a defense of Russia—it’s a global admission of which skin color gets protection, and which skin colors do not.

Musk has now hoarded $1 Trillion—making him the greediest hoarder on all Earth. To put that obnoxious amount of hoarding in perspective:
•1M seconds from now is in 11 days
•1B seconds from now is in 32 years
•1T seconds from now is in 32,000 years

This isn’t “hard work.” It’s greed and exploitation. Tax billionaires & trillionaires out of existence. Protect working people. Save our society.

I'm no expert but men who think calling someone a "female" is an insult are a pretty solid reason why women choose the bear.

The establishment said he was unelectable. Corporate media called him irredeemable. David Brooks called him a "degenerate."

Graham Platner won the Democratic primary by more than 50 points anyway. And he's already polling 10 points ahead of Susan Collins in the general.

Turns out progressive, worker-focused policies work. This story isn't just about Maine — it's about the grotesque double standard corporate media applies to candidates who refuse to take their money.

James Baldwin in 1979 speaking at UC Berkeley on Palestine and Israel. Nearly a decade before Hamas even existed.

His remarks are profound, and painfully correct.

Can’t wait for all the MAGAs outraged that Mayor Mamdani spent $700 of his own dollars on nosebleed tix for a Knicks playoff game, suddenly praise Trump for spending a fortune in taxpayer money to attend a Knicks Finals game—all while they can’t afford to fill their tank.

But it’s def not a cult. 😐

This week, Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims. He is just one of 68,000 Americans who suffer and die annually because of our exploitative for profit healthcare model.

Today, I share five of the main arguments against universal healthcare in the U.S. and debunk these misconceptions with facts. Let’s Address This.

Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims.

Let me be clear, any politician running for President in 2028 who does not champion universal healthcare is automatically a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell with your ill gotten wealth.

June 16, Georgia Democrats choose between two candidates for Lieutenant Governor in a runoff that deserves far more national attention than it's getting.

Nabilah Parkes: grassroots organizer, former state senator, fighter for working people and human dignity—and if elected, GA's first Muslim Lt. Gov.

Josh McLaurin: the establishment favorite whose record reveals the kind of complicit, cowardly, centrist Democrat we cannot afford right now.

Here are the receipts.
