The funniest part about the world rallying behind Zoran Mamdani is that he’s literally just doing his job, but by doing so shows us that every other politician is just lining their pockets & leaving us to rot 😭

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Things you could do in the United State for a trillion dollars (instead of have it accumulate to one person):

1. End homelessness
2. End poverty
3. Healthcare for every child
4. Universal free college
5. Universal clean, cheap energy
6. Cure cancer

A rainbow formed outside of the Kennedy Center as Trump’s name is being removed from the building. If that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is!

Amazing quote from Stephen Miller's high school classmate in this new Jazeera documentary on him:

"Having grown up with him, it makes you realize that it isn't the smartest person you went to high school with who's running the country. It's the most shameless person."

[Papa Leão XIV @Pontifex_pt]

Convido-vos a ser fios novos para tecer redes novas que harmonizem todos os âmbitos da vida, para entrelaçar uma sociedade renovada, onde o tempo se impregne de eternidade, a cultura preserve a memória e favoreça o diálogo, a educação promova a busca da verdade com espírito crítico, a arte desperte o maravilhamento e suscite nobres sentimentos, a atividade empresarial reconheça a dignidade da pessoa humana e o trabalho continue a ser fonte de esperança. #ViagemApostólica https://t.co/HQMdx3zKjY

Pope Leo’s choice to issue his first encyclical on the threat of unregulated AI is a testament to the urgency of this issue for working people.

America’s unions have and will continue to answer his call to defend the dignity of working people. https://t.co/aD8rTWnV9q

Ossoff: Just this year alone, new all-time, record high prices for rent, for groceries, for the power bill, for a meal out at a restaurant, and what the public sees is the President engaging in reckless and incompetent militarism around the world, talking obsessively about building a new ballroom, and trying to prosecute his political adversaries.

And so it is extraordinarily dangerous and it's unacceptable. It's also a big part of the reason that the national mood and the political momentum has so drastically shifted against this administration.

Happy Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. To honor him, advocate for the rights of workers, unions and labor, all part of Catholic social teaching.

[Jon Ossoff @ossoff]

Congress has let drug companies rip off Americans for decades.

Lobbyists, campaign cash, and a system that protects industry profits.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Following the Senate Democratic vote to halt military equipment sales to Israel, Rep. Ro Khanna addressed the party’s position: “We're a party that believes in two states in peace. But let me tell you what we're not for. We're not for aid to Israel. They've got a $45 billion defense budget. Why are we giving them money?” https://t.co/inlwhEC8sy
