I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.
When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.
No one wants to see people hurt by a government shutdown.
But if Republicans throw 15 million people off their health care, double insurance premiums for 20 million Americans & move us toward authoritarianism — even MORE people will be hurt.
We cannot allow that to happen.
Great event at Brooklyn College with @ZohranKMamdani.
The NYC mayor's race is not just about who wins. It's about whether ordinary citizens have ANY power in our democracy, or whether billionaires control it all. We can't let them win.
So. This is the state of American democracy.
The richest guy in the world is handing out million dollar checks in order to win a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and elect an anti-choice judge.
We MUST overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.
Ok Gavin, you say you want to break out of your echo chamber. Here's a challenge.
@BernieSanders will be in CA in a couple weeks for his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour. Have him on your podcast and talk about Cal Care and Medicare for All. That would be a great conversation!
Netanyahu's illegal war has killed 50,000 Palestinians. Now, Trump wants to force out 2 million more to build a billionaire's playground in Gaza.
That is ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.
Next week, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in new arms sales to Israel.
This is the OVERFLOW crowd in Greeley, Colorado.
Tonight, we expect even bigger crowds in Denver.
The American people are saying NO to authoritarianism and oligarchy.
Mexico's left-wing President Claudia Sheinbaum (who has 80% approval) has officially recognized Palestine as a state and welcomed the Palestinian ambassador.
This is very symbolic, because Sheinbaum is Jewish. She supports Palestinian human rights and criticized Israel's attacks
Congestion pricing is one of those rare policies that 1) worked immediately, 2) exactly as intended, 3) raised funds for public services, and 4) relieved the city of one of its biggest headaches
So naturally Republicans are against it
Congestion pricing works. Even Barstool is standing up against the fuckin snowflakes trying to get their daddy Trump to bring the traffic back.
Cities are meant to be for people, not cars.
In the worst political move of all time Donald Trump announces he is #TeamTraffic And is reversing the congestion pricing in Manhattan. Being
PRO GRIDLOCK TRAFFIC IS DISGUSTING!!!! UNAMERICAN!!!!
REVERSE THE REVERSE!!
so funny to see history repeat itself. men who wear slim fit and stretch denim—both of which were once considered strictly for women—criticizing kendrick for wearing flares bc they were on the women's aisle. in ten years, you'll be in flares clutching pearls about something else
WATCH: “The definition of an oligarchy.”
@AOC tells @majorityfm Trump wanted the debt ceiling lifted now so we won’t realize his tax cuts for the rich explode the deficit (again)
As they cut Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security to offset it, pretending to care about the debt.
