A lot of Dems punch the left bc we recognize the disconnect between their policies & their politics. If you believe folks should have healthcare, safe housing, environmental justice, then you can’t be doing business with Big Pharma, private prisons, and the fossil fuel industry.

Behind Zohran was the most voters in NYC primary history. These guys aren't just rejecting him, but the millions moved to electoral action by candidates like him. Maybe our big tent should have less millionaire nepo heirs & more fighters for the millions of working class people.

BREAKING: Local media personality proclaims he supports anti-Muslim hatred.

My white supremacist colleagues are on their big racist binger, but they'll raise money instead of getting fired bc hating Muslims is apparently an acceptable form of bigotry in this country. Should I hold my breath for the bipartisan resolutions, censures, and hearings to come?

We're about to see corporate solidarity and fearmongering in levels we haven't seen since ...the last election.

The corporate media +party spend a LOT of time and money trying to paint progressive candidates as too scary + dangerous What could it mean for the country if they spent half as much earnestly engaging instead of silencing very real fears + concerns of real people that we raise?

M-A-M-D-A-N-I YOU BETTER LEARN HOW TO SAY IT!

When the Super PACs spend all their big dollars to try to influence our elections, but the people still win anyway 🤌🏾

This Juneteenth, w/forces of fascism + rising white supremacy before us, I'm reminded of the tenuous bonds of liberation We owe it to our ancestors to never forget the price paid for freedom and gens to come, to fight like hell to keep it The fight for liberation is always ours

It’s disturbing how many warmongers there are in Congress—on both sides of the aisle, really—but I’m not sure when being a Democrat meant normalizing bloodlust for killings abroad. Not exactly a value of neighbors and families like mine from Braddock or Pittsburgh or anywhere…

Nurses at Magee-Womens Hospital deliver our babies, care for us, and stand with us in our hardest moments. They give everything to their patients and to our community. But UPMC is using stalling tactics to block their union vote. I’m proud to stand with them in this fight.

Israel has once again bombed Iran, a dangerous & reckless escalation. The war criminal Netanyahu wants to ignite an endless regional war & drag the US into it. Any politician who tries to help him betrays us all. The American people do not want this.

Pittsburgh has been inundated with racist, AntiBlack mailers that the establishment refuses to condemn or ban. It’s beyond time we protect our elections from nefarious bigots who seek to harm our communities and to stop us all from thriving.

I have a bill to abolish super PACs—not only bc they seem to have a proclivity for shady, vaguely racist tactics—but bc no corporation, special interest group, or bored billionaire should have more influence in our elections + government than you just bc they have endless money

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. So many of our ancestors understood that our freedom is undeniably bound together. It's why my guiding principle is solidarity, not merely out of some aspirational altruism, but truly bc my own survival relies on it.

Elon Musk bought his way into the highest ranks of our government with a clear agenda, glaring conflicts of interests, and no clearances or background checks to speak of. Now he's absconding off with what he came to get—all your data—while we treat his exit like entertainment.

Do it.

Today, I asked the Sec. of Education what lessons she thought should be banned as "illegal DEI" in schools. Instead of confirming whether the Tulsa Massacre or Ruby Bridge's book should, she confirmed she doesn't even know what they are. Is the Secretary an "illegal DEI" hire?
