The Third International is the only transnational organization dedicated to revolutionary socialism and the liberation of all workers around the globe.
Candidates backed by Google and Palantir did poorly in the California primaries. Money can buy lots of things, but you can't buy job security for politicians who align themselves with the AI bubble and data centers https://t.co/D0Ms5CKH6m
Of the DSA electeds, AOC and Mamdani get all the attention, but @RepRashida and @IlhanMN deserve way more respect for using their limited power to make US foreign policy a little less terrible
"Moderate" is a strange label for a politician whose donor list runs through developers, business leaders, and Bowser officials. McDuffie isn't standing in the middle of anything. He's standing where commercial real estate wants its mayor.

@MandyKnowsDC@bosschopp@misterAmos Tallinn, Estonia’s capital, has run fare-free transit since 2013. Luxembourg made its entire national system free in 2020. Kansas City dropped fares in 2020. These aren’t thought experiments
@MandyKnowsDC You just made the case against yourself. Funding shouldn’t depend on who happens to live nearby. Same logic kills your fare argument. A transit system that runs on the spare change of the people least able to pay isn’t really “funded”
On the Commanders stadium, McDuffie cheered over a billion in public money as a "big, beautiful deal." Lewis George withheld her vote until workers got a labor agreement in writing. Same final tally, opposite instincts about who the city owes.

McDuffie says he'll stand up to Trump. A number of his donors have also written checks to Trump. People fund the candidates they trust to protect their interests, and his donors don't seem worried.

Before this race, Lewis George funded raises for childcare workers, defended paid family leave, and moved money to stop evictions. Concrete things for people who work for a living. Hold that record up against a campaign built around curfews.

Roughly a quarter of McDuffie's early money came from people who don't live in D.C. The city's public financing system was built to reward small local donors instead. Whose city is a campaign building for when its checks come from out of town?

The Trump administration plans to drop its proposed $1.8B "weaponization" fund to compensate alleged victims of Biden-era prosecutions. A slush fund for aggrieved fascists could not withstand bipartisan contempt. https://t.co/nI9YpHau4M
