Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history.
Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%.
I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.
At his confirmation RFK Jr claimed he wouldn’t take away vaccines. So far he has:
Removed COVID vaccine recommendations
Fired the CDC’s vaccine committee
Replaced scientists with antivaxxers
Cancelled vaccine hesitancy research
Pulled $500m in mRNA vaccine research
Truly awful. Free public programming is a public good. So many hours of educational shows for kids but also, it's just good for there to be work that isn't reliant on the market, art itself is meaningful and should be enjoyed by all
Remember, DOGE had to cut funding to all of that worthless woke shit like air safety and weather forecasting so our conservative government could spend it on important things like gilded ballrooms.
“It won’t affect me.”: The most dangerous lie people tell themselves about healthcare policy.
Millions of people are about to lose healthcare coverage under the Big Beautiful Bill and too many are shrugging it off. But here’s the truth:
Our healthcare system is interconnected. When they lose coverage:
•ERs get overwhelmed
•Rural hospitals shut down
•Wait times explode
•Rinse and repeat
Still think you’re safe? This bill doesn’t just hurt “other people.” It hurts you, your family, your community.
All it takes is:
• A layoff
• A diagnosis
• A pregnancy
• A caregiving crisis
…and suddenly, “it won’t affect me” becomes “how did this happen?”
You don’t live in a healthcare bubble. You live in a domino effect. Healthcare policy always affects you. Even when you think it doesn’t.
This is what I mean when I say investing in things that lower crime is also investing in things that we can all enjoy, appreciate, and utilize. Dual impact. Safer streets and happier people.
Your healthcare is about to get worse today even if you’re not on Medicaid. There isn’t a single part of our healthcare system that isn’t touched by and supplemented my Medicaid; the drastic reduction in funding it’s about to get is going to dry up coverage for everyone.
Republicans are celebrating the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in U.S. history to pay for the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.
51,000 Americans will die each year so that the top 1% can get a $1 trillion tax break.
This bill is a death sentence.
16 million Americans will lose the health care they currently have under Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Here’s how many will lose health care in your state if it passes:
A sitting Member of Congress calling for an American citizen to be stripped of his citizenship & deported, all because of that American citizen’s political views. This is fascism.👇
First they came for abortion.
Now it’s birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care.
The Supreme Court just ruled states can block Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood.
Let’s be real: this ain’t about “protecting life.” It’s about weaponizing poverty and race to strip away care, choice, and dignity from communities that dare to seek basic care in a system already built to fail them.
it is actually insane that a progressive muslim man can run for office and say "we should make housing/groceries/transit more affordable and not do genocide" and a massive media machine lurches into operation to call him a racist terrorist who wants to destroy his city & america
Mamdani is important for a number of reasons but I’m not a New Yorker and I’m not a staunch reformist. Mamdani is important to the nation because his success will beg the question “Well, why not in my city too?” Ideas spread and gain popularity when we can see ourselves in them
