A person who did their time and wants to work should get a shot before a box on a form ends the application. Ban the box and you cut recidivism and fill the jobs everyone says no one wants. Work is the best parole officer.

Socialists are winning in Georgia, we've won in swing States, we could win in Wisconsin with the Governors race.

We are beating the narrative that you can't win in swing or red states.

Capitalism is so good that it has only existed for 0.00000011% of the Earth's life YET in that time it has helped push the planet toward a mass extinction event.

If you can’t afford to pay a living wage, you can’t afford to own a restaurant

Is this true today?

While everywhere else is in total chaos, NYC gets the puppies and rainbows subplot.

Good for them.

Democracy has been completely dead in the USA since Ronald Reagan put the billionaires permanently in power

The Social Security surplus, intentionally built up since 1982, is being depleted sooner than they thought back then because of income inequality.

Because no person making more than $182,000 pays another penny in Social Security.

A real living wage in the United States during 2026 is a minimum of $62 hourly. Anything less is capitalist exploitation and theft of worker wages and labor.

Nobody talks about how peaceful it is to have money in the bank.

Not rich. Just enough. Enough to say no. Enough to wait. Enough to breathe.

That is the goal.

Zohran Mamdani scored one of the largest victories for workina people in NYC history, forcing Uber and other gig economy employers to pay over $5 million in restitution to over 49,000 workers. No wonder Uber spent millions to try and defeat him.

The era of giant corporations juicing profits by underpaying workers is over,” said DCWP Commissioner Sam Levine.

CNN Just Identified A Massive Change Inside The Democratic Party.

During Trump's first term, 63% of Democrats said they wanted Democratic leaders in Washington to stand up to Trump more.

Today?

93%.

Think about that jump.

Not 73%.

Not 83%.

93%.

That's nearly universal agreement across the Democratic base. And it helps explain why figures like Gavin Newsom are increasingly willing to pick direct fights with Trump.
