@TopDynastyTakes Brandon Ayiuk — the fomo of cutting him for some upside moonshot waiver rookie and then watching him go mega nuclear has me clogging that bench
“Working class” does not mean blue collar. Working class means anyone whose primary income is earned through wage labor. A college professor, surgeon, barista and electrician are all equally working class. College degrees don’t make anyone “elite”. Being a billionaire does.
When I look at the recent progressive victories in Colorado and elsewhere, and the successful organizing campaigns sprouting up across the country, I believe we may be on the brink of the political revolution we have been fighting for.
In January, our administration inherited a $12 billion budget deficit — a fiscal crisis greater than the Great Recession.
Today I am proud to announce that our balanced budget has cleared the final step and passed the New York City Council.
We balanced the budget by taxing the rich and making government more efficient. We did not balance this budget on the backs of working people, and we never will.
Every year that follows will build on these principles: Honest budgeting. Fiscal discipline. Transparent government. And an unwavering belief that working people deserve a government that delivers for them every day.
There is nothing “common sense” about continuing to place profits over working class Americans. More and more people are starting to understand they deserve good and dignified lives, union jobs, to be able to afford rent, childcare and more. That’s incompatible with your continued servitude of the Billionaire class.
Pretty revealing that what galvanized “centrist” Dems was losing to a couple DSA candidates not for example, losing to a bunch of corrupt fascists who want to end Democracy.
THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT IS GETTING NERVOUS
The political establishment — Democratic and Republican — is getting nervous. So are the Oligarchs and the corporate media they own.
The world they dominate is beginning to shake beneath them. Change is coming. And they don’t like it.
What we saw on Tuesday in New York, what we are seeing all across the country, is that ordinary people are getting involved in the political process, are taking on establishment candidates, and are winning. What is particularly frightening to the establishment is that many of the candidates, and their supporters, are young. The future belongs to them and they want that future to look very different from what it is today.
It’s not complicated. Progressives and democratic socialists are winning elections because the vast majority of the American people understand that status quo politics and policies are not working. You don’t have to be a PhD in economics to know that in America today the very rich are getting much richer while the vast majority of our people are struggling to pay for the basic necessities — healthcare, housing, food, education and utilities. You don’t have to be a sociologist to realize that the younger generation will likely have a lower standard of living than their parents. You don’t need to be a political scientist to understand that we have a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires and their super PACS to buy elections, undermine democracy, and protect their privileged positions.
The American people, across the political spectrum, are rejecting the establishment’s uber-capitalist ideology, value system and priorities. They want an economy and a government that works for all, not just wealthy campaign contributors.
More and more Americans refuse to accept the current reality that:
One man, Mr. Musk, owns more than three times as much wealth as the bottom half of our society. That billionaires and large profitable corporations often pay an effective tax rate lower than truck drivers or nurses. They are demanding that the billionaire class starts paying their fair share of taxes.
We are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. They want Medicare for All.
Tens of millions of workers are earning starvation wages. They want to raise the minimum wage to a living wage and make it easier for workers to join unions.
Big Tech and the wealthiest people on earth are aggressively pushing AI and robotics, the most transformative technologies in history, without public input. They want these technologies to benefit all, not just the handful of billionaires who own the industry.
Nearly 800,000 Americans are homeless, and more than 20 million households are spending 50% or more of their limited incomes on housing. They want a freeze on rent and the construction of millions of units of low income and affordable housing.
I’ve released a new game!

Spin the wheel of qbs and select one aspect of their game until you have a complete player, then simulate the season to see how they would do. Put a lot of work into this one so would appreciate if you guys checked it out.

@SolidKhi1 Wrote out a long tweet defending throwing to the sideline on a 9 route in C3 or single high man only to realize it’s cooper rush not L back there 🤣
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
@CalApostate@AaronRegunberg Holding on to hope that a candidate ratfucks their most recent donors for actions they took outside of the office multiple election seasons ago is just as delulu as hoping a billionaire is a class traitor.
@BigDraftersHQ All I needed to hear was 89 saying he was misused in Georgia and can do more downfield stuff in his breakdown this offseason everyone else was noise ngl
