The DSA momentum isn’t about the DSA, it’s about people.

I see all the quibbling and bickering, but not a lot of understanding.

People in NY cast votes for candidates they think actually care about what they’re going through. Same way they did for Mamdani.

But instead of reflecting, the establishment continues to project. We’ve seen it before, it’s partly how we got here.

I don’t imagine that what happened in New York could happen in Baton Rouge … yet. And when I say yet I mean YET. If a people first, economic liberation movement finds its political stride in South, its curtains.

It’s hard for a lot of Black southerners I know to critique the Dems, an elder of mine recently told me she votes Democrat OUT OF RESPECT FOR DR KING.

(I told her Dr. King might’ve been DSA, because he held some very strident anti-capitalist/anti imperialist views. She then told me to worry about my weight and not about Dr King’s legacy. That actually happened 😂😂😂😂😂😂)

I’m not saying that’s going to change, but I am saying those same people I talk to (particularly the ones under 45) aren’t frustrated. They’re tired. Frustrated needs a rally. Tired needs a change. They’re ripe for new voices.

The best outcome here would be a meeting of the minds. It would Robin reminding Batman of the ideals he started with, and Batman educating Robin on the structural realities of the world we live in, and how we make allies in that world. They then shake hands and vandalize the Joker’s reflecting pool.

That won’t happen though. Political intractability is by design. Politicians fight for their existence while forgetting about yours.

You do not matter. Threats to power matter. Threats to systems matter. They built it the way they wanted it, they’ve been milking it for years. They want their milk cheap while yours gets more expensive.

We say politics is a beauty pageant, but in actuality, it’s a slaughterhouse. You think you’re the butcher, when really, you’re the cow.

But man. Somewhere there’s a candidate that just wants you to have a living wage and healthcare. Just wants your kid not have to die in a foreign war. Maybe they can’t even get it done, but that’s sincerely what they want.

I hope you get to vote for them.

When I was Health Director for Wayne County, we put vending machines with Narcan and fentanyl test strips in 100 different locations.

If you ever see one of these, I hope that you'll grab a couple Narcan doses to carry with you. It can save a life.

If you think I’m about to criticize Dianna Russini for treating cops like babies mesmerized by a rattle you’re out of your goddamn mind lol

Israel’s national security minister just said “all of Lebanon needs to burn” so as a proud American veteran I say the pro-American point of view is to hold contempt for him and the government that gives him a ministry. Fetterman is a coward.

Your president really said you get either your right to housing or your right to vote, pick one.

Gillibrand's son graduated from undergrad on Sunday. Today it's reported that he's received $30 million in venture capital funding to launch a derivatives exchange. His mom sat on the Senate Agriculture committee—which has jurisdiction over derivates—until this past year

Get it straight:

THEY HELD PRIDE NIGHT ANYWAY. Just no baseball because the bigots quit. So the bigots forfeited and the community celebrated without them.

Fuck off bigots.
