There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

BREAKING: Zohran just announced that NYC’s free child care program for 2-year-olds will expand to all of Staten Island and all of the Bronx. The expansion means an additional 10,000 2-K seats by fall 2027. More neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens will receive 2-K seats as well.

"I Believed American Healthcare Was the Best in the World. Then I Did the Math" Yale epidemiologist @Alison_Galvani anticipated a hefty price tag for Medicare for All. But she found that we are already paying more than enough right now to cover the cost of universal healthcare.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

We have to go after the money. You want our money? Cool protect our future. Stop failing to protect women from brainwashed poorly educated young men. This shit needs to stop, and it won't until the money stops. www.youtube.com/shorts/9IuNA...
People need to stop reading articles based on polls like this. They mean literally nothing. 463 people doesn't tell us anything. This is called click bait. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Wild stuff. Sheri Mecklenberg, career prosecutor accused of misconduct in Broadview 6 case, resigns from DOJ. The NYT obtained her scathing resignation letter, in which she says the U.S. attorney directed her to bring felony charges over her objection. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."
Scott Galloway referred to the deaths in Gaza as "collateral damage"and goes after @abdulelsayed.bsky.social along with Jessica for calling a genocide a GENOCIDE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wrn...

I’m proud to have @hrc.org standing with us in this race. LGBTQ+ Michiganders deserve leaders who will have their backs when it matters most, not just when it’s politically convenient.
Michiganders deserve a champion who has a history of fighting for equal rights for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to endorse abdulelsayed.bsky.social, who has:

A disturbing video from Trump’s Virginia golf club shows children scooping live fish out of a swimming pool during a Labor Day weekend activity. Now the footage is going viral, and the questions are piling up.
