We can't count on social media platforms controlled by MAGA billionaires to get out urgent alerts. As censorship of the No Kings Coalition Instagram account proved, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta may suspend or throttle accounts anytime.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Q: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood? El-Sayed: Yes. Why are you asking the question? Do you assume that I wouldn’t? Q: Yes, because I have not heard you disavow them yet. El-Sayed: Have you disavowed them? I have not heard you disavow them yet.

Anyway, what was that you were saying about Tom Morello leaving his ballot blank in a safe blue state?

This week, we opened 385 new affordable homes in Brooklyn. We’ll soon grow the Innovative Urban Village to 2,000 affordable homes, child care, jobs, a grocery store and a performing arts center. That’s what it looks like to build a city without pricing out the working class.

California’s billionaires have a combined net worth of $2.4 trillion. Under Prop 40, their net worth would fall to…just under $2.3 trillion. What amounts to a rounding error for them would allow millions of their fellow Californians to afford healthcare. Vote yes on Prop 40.

Politicians use their office to get rich. Those days have got to end. No revolving door for lobbyists, no congressional stock trading, no corporate PAC money.

We have been coming weekly to MDC to stand in community with our detained neighbors, now including Oscar Belgal, shot in front of his 5 year old & now being held in solitary. Pressing our hands to the wall holding them away from their families & raising our voices in solidarity. @indivisible.org

Happening now: 100s rally outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in BK, where 100s of our neighbors - including Oscar Belgal, recently shot by ICE - are inhumanely detained. @indivisible.org @bradlander.bsky.social @jumaane.bsky.social @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

WATCH— @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “We’re often told the only way to tackle the debt is on the backs of working people… not true. We can close billionaire tax loopholes + end this disastrous war… The debt exploded the last 30 years because of tax cuts for the rich and forever wars.”

We stand with local immigrant rights leaders demanding Oscar Bergal's release, a full independent investigation, and immediate release of the body camera footage. And we join them in urging the public not to shop at Target until they stop letting DHS use their parking lot as staging sites for ICE!

ICE shot Oscar Bergal. They could have killed the child in his car. Enough. ICE out of New York, and all our communities, now.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.
