Hasan Piker: “There’s two major lies Republicans tell all the time. Number one: Immigrants do crimes in overwhelming numbers. That’s a lie. The evidence is the exact opposite. The evidence shows migrants are responsible for a much lower share of crime per capita than documented citizens are. The second biggest lie is there are far too many people voting in this country and we have to restrict them. The problem is far too little people are voting. Voter fraud, not a problem. The real problem is voter suppression”
I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.
This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.
Zohran Mamdani balanced a $12 billion deficit, announced 200,000 affordable homes, froze rents for 2 million tenants, and got working New Yorkers into the World Cup for $50 in 151 days — which means every politician who told us it couldn’t be done was lying.
A high-profile NBA player like Kyrie Irving telling his fans that he would love to speak to Hasan Piker and that he thinks he’s a generational leader at a time when the government and mainstream media are consistently attacking him is so fucking impactful. I’m so proud of Hasan.
🎓 “Peace be upon you. From the students of Harvard, to the youth of Dahieh, to the sons of Nabatieh, and the people of Tyre.”
Harvard Medical School graduate Leen Ezzeddine, from the southern Lebanese town of Arabsalim, used her graduation speech to remind her peers of the students in Gaza and southern Lebanon who do not benefit from the same “arbitrary luck and circumstance” that she and her classmates have enjoyed.
Ezzeddine said her presence at that podium was “evidence of what survives the border, the bomb, and the exile,” and of “what becomes possible when people the world has tried to erase are allowed to live.”
Hasan Piker: “Every dollar spent on a bomb that Israel drops on a school is a dollar stolen from you because that’s a dollar that could’ve been used to build a school in your neighborhood. That’s your productive output used for the death machine to kill other people’s kids”
Proud to endorse @saikatc for Congress in #CA11
Across the country, voters are hungry for change. Saikat will fight for Medicare for All, universal childcare & affordable housing. I look forward to working together to shake up the Democratic Party and put working families first.
NEW: Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made 1,794x the average worker at the company last year.
New ballot initiatives in LA and San Francisco would force big corps like Starbucks to close pay gaps — by penalizing companies that insist on paying CEOs huge salaries while workers suffer.
