I wish people realised that "socialism" means caring about the working class, feeding starving children and giving people affordable healthcare, housing and more..

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Please don't forget the Trump family is barred from ever running another charity in NY because they stole from a Children's Cancer Charity. A Children's Cancer Charity. A FUCKING CHILDREN'S CANCER CHARITY!

YES: Mamdani's administration just funded New York City's first-ever pet food pantry program.

$750,000 in the FY2027 budget, specifically to help pet owners who can't afford food for their animals. Another $750,000 goes toward affordable spay/neuter services. $1.5 million total, aimed at keeping people and their pets together.

Here's why it matters: NYC animal shelters took in over 16,000 animals last year. Nearly 10,000 were strays. Another 6,500 were owner surrenders — people who loved their pets but couldn't afford to feed them or get them basic vet care, and had to give them up.

Animal welfare advocates had been pushing for this for years, asking for $15.3 million to fully fund pantries, spay/neuter clinics in every borough, and a real animal welfare office. They got a fraction of the ask, But it's the first time the city has put dedicated dollars behind the idea at all.

No family should have to choose between rent and feeding their family — pets included. This is a start.

🚨 THIS INTERVIEW TOOK AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

🇺🇸 Reporter: "You've earned millions from crypto while serving in office. Were you aware of those deals?"

🇺🇸 Trump: "Yes. Nothing about it was illegal."

🇺🇸 Reporter: "Federal conflict-of-interest law exists to stop public officials from profiting from government positions."

🇺🇸 Trump: "I'm not familiar with that law."

One question. One answer. Millions are now debating whether America's rules apply equally to everyone.

If any ordinary public official admitted something similar, the legal consequences could have been severe.

That's what fearless journalism looks like. 🎤

Absolute silence on Mitch's condition
Is he dead or alive?
NOT one Congress member will visit Mitch and report on his condition or Call the DC Morgue to see if he is there.

it's crazy when you see a photo for the first time and recognize that in 100 years historians are going to use it as shorthand to summarize the whole era you're living through right now.

[Elizabeth de la Vega 🇺🇸🦅 @Delavegalaw]

And let me point out, what Trump is doing is not "
grifting." He is not a "grifter." Grift is petty fraud and theft. Trump is a career criminal who is committing a massive, sprawling fraud and theft against the United States and its people -- right before our very eyes.

In 1942, James Cagney was told to just walk down the stairs in "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Instead, he decided to improvise a tap dance down the slick marble steps. The crew tried to stop him due to the high injury risk. He ignored them, nailed it in ONE take.

[ecosocialist musician @EcosocialistM]

It's going to take a socialist revolution. The capitalist class is not concerned with the death and ecocidal destruction it will cause except insofar as the resistance engendered by these things halts or slows its plans. We are dealing with an exterminism that must be stopped.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

It's weird to me how trump never lets go of a grudge, he still bitches about Obama, Biden, Hillary, and even Rosie O'Donnell for some reason.

He never says a word about any of the people who supposedly tried to assassinate him.

Nothing. Weird.

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

This is absolute cinema 🎥

🇺🇸Journalist Kernen: "You made a ton of money in crypto. Do you even know about those crypto deals?"

🇺🇸Trump: "Yeah I know. Nothing illegal there."

🇺🇸Kernen: "Title 18, Section 208. It’s criminal law that stops gov workers from making money off official stuff."

🇺🇸Trump: "Don’t know it."

That’s a journalist with SPINE 👏.

In a real democracy, Trump would have face 5 years in prison for this crime.

Nativos americanos choctaw expulsados de sus tierras por colonos blancos, caminan en gélidas aguas por lo que se llamó El Sendero de las Lágrimas, donde más de 60.000 nativos fueron víctimas de la limpieza étnica colonial, al sureste de EEUU.

Trump dice estar deportando a los inmigrantes ilegales de EEUU.... cuando realmente los verdaderos "inmigrantes ilegales" son los colonos blancos que invadieron y exterminaron a los nativos americanos, como él y su familia de origen alemán y escocés.

Melania’s ex-top aide Wolkoff screams: seize her texts, Signal chats, private emails—she knew every move Donald made

She’s no victim; she’s complicit. She warns that accountability is coming.

The whole Trump family is rotting with greed, lies, and contempt for you.

[Political Punk @actingliketommy]

Socialism isn't "free stuff" it is literally just using your tax dollars doing something to benefit you and other workers instead of using it to buy a stadium for a billionaire. That's it. That's all it is.

250 years after July 4, 1776, the successor of King George III pays taxes and publishes his returns. The successor of George Washington does not. https://t.co/CbIXDe8UQY
