So I finally met Tove in person and we had a very intimate conversation that I thought I would never get in my life. @ToveLo thank you for everything that you gave to this cruel world. My life wouldn’t exist without you.
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Today Meta laid off 10% of its workforce.
Yesterday they gave $950,000 for Xavier Becerra.
We can't let AI turn a few billionaires into trillionaires while putting millions out of work.
That's what tech oligarchs want. It's why they're backing a corporate Democrat.
without class consciousness & political education, the masses in the imperial core will continue to self id w the politics of liberalism even if their desires for change go far beyond.
most communists/socialists in the us went on their ideological journey because of bernie’s insurgent “democratic socialist” campaign in 2016 when he ran as a democrat against hillary clinton. the electoral system is a viable route to reach the masses w an alternative. this is what the moneyed interest in both parties fear, this is why they spend against their left flank & fight it tooth and nail.
we must continue helping people awaken to the reality of this systems design that creates such inequality, it is not the migrant workers, nor trans people, or muslims or jews- but the billionaires and the parasitic forces of capital and its servants that are responsible for the deteriorating material conditions.
$5 MILLION ‼️ from our opponent’s mom as of today!
+ his personal contribution of $500,000
+ $500,000 from real estate and private equity donors
= $6 MILLION TOTAL
This is a historic amount poured into the City Controller’s race. This seat is NOT for sale.
Vote by June 2nd!
Today's Supreme Court decision is a direct assault on the promise of the Voting Rights Act. It risks disenfranchising millions of Americans along racial lines and weakening the very foundation of our democracy.
Democracy is not self-sustaining. We must build, preserve, and defend it together.
Here in New York City, we will always lead a government of, by, and for the people — all of the people.
Although the Supreme Court technically upheld Section II of VRA, it will effectively dilute the voting power of Black Americans.
Trump, Vance, Republican Justices, & Republicans in Congress are undermining multiracial democracy because they fear it.
They will not prevail
The Supreme Court just eviscerated the Voting Rights Act.
Trump and Republicans are rigging the rules to suppress the right to vote.
If that’s the game, Democratic states must fight back to protect our democracy.
The Virginia Redistricting Referendum has passed, allowing the General Assembly to temporarily redraw the state’s congressional districts.
It is expected to leave Democrats with 10 House seats and Republicans with only one.
If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than:
Walt Disney
Citigroup
CVS
Kohl's
Ticketmaster
Tesla
United Airlines
GoDaddy
Paypal
Palantir
Roku
HP
3M
PG&E
Halliburton
That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform.
For years, Ticketmaster/Live Nation has abused its power against musicians, fans, and venues, dominating the live music industry while worsening it for everyone else.
This jury verdict holding that the company violated state and federal antitrust laws is a key first step towards ending Live Nation’s monopolistic control and securing real relief for those it harmed.
Congratulations to the state attorneys general who kept litigating the case after the Trump DOJ settled cheaply and bailed.
“I hate Republicans.”
Far-left streamer Hasan Piker doubling down on his attacks against conservatives, labeling the Republican Party as “the biggest domestic terrorist” in the United States during a recent podcast appearance.
This comes just days after Piker was on the campaign trail with Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who is running for U.S. Senate.
