A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

ms.nowSecret paid influencer campaign backing Stevens floods Michigan Senate raceRep. Haley Stevens and the Senate Democratic PAC said they were not involved in the effort to pay for user-generated content endorsing her.

I sent my mom flowers for mother's day even though we aren't talking because I wanted her to know I still love her. Since I'm not ready to fully reconcile without her putting forth a single ounce of effort, she says it was a meaningless gesture. So I'll be saving my money in the future.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

The pro-democracy movement is already flexing its power in the streets and the voting booth. Now we need to harness our collective power as workers and consumers to demand an end to the oligarch-enabled Trump regime.

I work in customer service, and I promise your approach is everything. Don't go in gunning for a fight. Most CS reps want to help you, we don't enjoy getting yelled at. If you are kind and humble, we'll bend over backwards for you. Be a jerk and we'll do what we have to and nothing more.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

β€œLET US OUT!” women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc. In our nameπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Be clear on the fact that this regime will keep murdering us in broad daylight until the people behind all this are removed from power. Not quarreled withβ€”removed from power. If any part of you thinks this will get better or stay the same rather than get exponentially worse, stop thinking that way.

Learn what extinction burst behavior is and how we are seeing it in real time. Recognize it for what for is: desperation, not strength. Panic, not control. They only win if we hand them a win bc they're losing hard, that's why they escalate.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Every blue state needs to follow suit. The ridiculously ineffectual and pathetic dems have let republicans get away with cheating for decades, and what's happening now is the result. No more playing by the old rules!

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🀑
