I’ll take any victory Mexico can have right now given the racial attacks Mexicans, Latinos and immigrant are facing in the US right now. The Mexican soccer team winning yesterday feels particularly significant ⚽️ 🇲🇽 #worldcup

10 years ago, hate walked into Pulse Nightclub in Orlando and opened fire. 49 souls, guilty of nothing more than enjoying Latin Night, were taken. Today and every day, we commit to #HonorThemWithAction and create a world they'd be proud of.

My opponent, his mom, and their billionaire friends are now spending $9.5 million to flood voters with disgusting attacks and lies.

Let's send a loud and clear message that the City Controller's Office belongs to the people!

VOTE!!!

We spend over $15,000 per capita on healthcare, twice that of other countries.

Yet 85 million people are uninsured or underinsured & 500,000 go bankrupt due to medical debt.

We must not make insurance & drug companies richer.

We must provide healthcare to ALL as a human right.

LA City Controller Kenneth Mejia faces a lone challenger for reelection — but that challenger has raised $1 million in contributions, and is also being helped by $7.5 million in so-called independent expenditures bankrolled by his mother.

Being anti-Trump is not good enough. Democrats need a progressive agenda.

Jeff Bezos thinks people are ‘vilifying the rich.’

He is the 4th richest person on earth and 30% of his warehouse workers rely on government assistance for basic needs like food and rent.

WE'RE NOT VILIFYING YOU. YOU JUST ARE A VILLAIN

[Ariana Jasmine @arianajasmine__]

Zohran Mamdani just forced Jeff Bezos to pay New York City $9 million in fines his company owed.

This is exactly why we elect politicians who aren’t bought by corporations: they actually hold powerful people accountable instead of protecting them.

Austin high school student Luis Fernando Cabrera, who was detained by ICE earlier this month, is out. Here’s a video his family shared. This comes days before his graduation. Community rallied around him and his habeas was successful.

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Jeff fucking Bezos going on a media tour to tell everyone they shouldn't tax him and other billionaires because it won't help, is EXACTLY why we need to tax them into oblivion.

Fuck ya'll.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Senator Bernie Sanders and Rep. Summer Lee have introduced the Abolish Super PACs Act.

The bill would cap Super PAC donations from individuals at $5,000 so that billionaires wouldn't be able to influence US elections with outsized spending.

[Rushi @rushicrypto]

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?

When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?

[The Root @TheRoot]

Montgomery — often celebrated as the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement — saw thousands of Americans march and speak out for voting rights this weekend. From 1965 through today, the fight for true equality and representation continues.

The Bolivian people—an example to lead—continue protesting, demanding the resignation of Rodrigo Paz.

They also demand that transnational corporations withdraw from Bolivia, urging they won’t allow the privatization of the country’s natural resources.

🚨 🇺🇸MAJOR BREAKING: They are marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge again.

61 years after Bloody Sunday. The same bridge. The same fight.

Today in Selma, thousands are gathering at the spot where Alabama state troopers beat peaceful Black marchers in March 1965.

That beating shocked the country into passing the Voting Rights Act five months later.

This week the Supreme Court finished gutting it.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power

[Americans For Tax Fairness @4TaxFairness]

Billionaire Sergey Brin has spent $57 million trying to kill a wealth tax in California.

Think about that.

He would rather invest $57 million to manipulate our politics than pay a small wealth tax back to the country that made him successful.

This system is so broken.

[jezz @JezziiB]

Billionaires aren’t visionaries. They’re hoarders of human possibility. If one man can sho*t himself into space while many can’t afford groceries, that’s not progress ...that’s theft dressed up as innovation.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

If Jeff Bezos can drop $10 million to sponsor the Met Gala, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.
