We were keenly aware that the odds were stacked against us as a 1st time candidacy.
Never-the-less, our grassroots, DIY campaign completely untethered from the political & corporate establishment won over 5,000 votes & we're incredibly grateful to all who believed in us! โ๐พ

If there's an oil crisis and oil companies are making record profits, A healthcare crisis and healthcare companies are making record profits, a financial crisis and finance companies are making record profits.Then the companies are the crisis.

Universal healthcare isn't a charity handout. Itโs a straightforward math trade:
โข Swap predatory monthly premiums
โข Swap bank-breaking deductibles
โข Swap surprise out-of-pocket medical bills
...for a single public tax.

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

Senator Chuck Schumer just voted to advance the BAAJA bill, which would eviscerate the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act while harming Indigenous communities.
In case you wanted another reason why he should not be the Majority Senate Leader.

after deep thought concerning the matter of marijuana as medicinal iโd argue that all weed smokers that are poor, black, oppressed use weed medicinally, folks just donโt see it that way because they donโt believe such strife is something that requires consistent first aid.

No surprise here, but Sherrod Brown says he is supporting Schumer for leader

You know what I havenโt seen since the GOP got their asses blown out in the election? Them blaming or shaming their base. Seems like thatโs something only liberals do.

If someone tells you to ignore the genocide of Palestinians so you can win rights then you havenโt won rights.
What youโve won are actually just the spoils of settler colonialism and empire.

In Fahrenheit 451, the chief book-burner, Captain Beatty, describes how reading became obsolete because the public demanded increasingly fast-paced entertainments, and those entertainments slowly corroded their ability to think. โBooks cut shorter. Condensations. Digests, tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending. Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column โฆ Many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed, โNow at last you can read all the classics.โ โฆ School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches?โ
In this passage Ray Bradbury foretells the intellectual hollowing out of the working class, the advent of AI-generated โsummariesโ of classic novels, the attention-frying culture of short-form video, the relaxation of educational standards into non-existence. All of this in a book published in 1953.

All i know is a 1 gram 30% thc joint at the dispo is $3 and you canโt even buy a breakfast burrito at a gas station for less than $5. So until food is cheaper than drugs I wonโt believe the government is for the people

Not me, I want something far more severe that is actually going to work
