My heart breaks for the Nichols family & Memphis community. I'm outraged to see yet another life taken by police brutality in this country.
This system is deeply in need of repair & I stand in solidarity with those demanding better as we work to build a more just nation for all.

Evergreen reminder that Nancy Pelosi actively campaigned for an anti-abortion candidate against a pro-choice candidate in Texas just a months ago. They do not care aside from how they can fundraise off it.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she was "personally overwhelmed" by the Supreme Court decision to end Roe v. Wade.
"This cruel ruling is outrageous and heart-wrenching," she said.

On this day 108 years ago, Emil Seidel — the first Socialist mayor of a major city and a running mate to Eugene V. Debs — came to Buffalo to give a speech on "What Socialists Want", and what we want remains the same. We want dignity for the poor & working class, nothing less.

It's not that socialists don't want to work, we just don't want to be forced into a grinding meaningless hell for our entire lives to barely stay alive while the slime whose grotesque wealth is built on a mountain of human suffering & actively killing the planet grow ever fatter.
Thread: I’ll never stop resenting the fact that for most of us the vast majority of our waking lives is wasted away doing meaningless work for people we don’t know or like for a few dollars an hour in order to make them rich.

You can canvass with us for political education and pledges for free, universal healthcare for our whole state

Let me be clear:
I am a staunch proponent of the New York Health Act, and I vigorously support a federal Medicare for All program.
However, I am just as clear that even the best healthcare system is only harm reduction if our society keeps making us sick in the first place.
