The part about Mamdani not being always correct is important. Because he's gonna fuck up and make mistakes (like with the library budget thing) and we rightfully need to hold his feet to the fire for that.
But like. This is socialism. We want this for everyone.
The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.
The Trump administration is kicking 150,000 Illinoisans off of SNAP on May 1.
He's ripping away help from Illinoisans as the cost of their groceries, gas, and utilities continues to rise.

They want more babies. They really do. You can tell by the speeches very passionate, lots of pointing, heavy emphasis on “the future of the nation,” which, apparently, arrives exclusively via other people’s uteruses.
Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...
I get hundreds of requests every day for money, donations, and to share stories. Imma one person and can’t do it all. But this one…
God bless our veterans. And our elderly. We need better systems in place. They shouldn’t be working this hard and this long. Especially our vets.

I'm so sorry I keep asking for help. I have moving expenses coming up really soon with bills and food that keep emptying out my account and I've been sick and stressed because of it all. I'm literally over $2000 short. even if you can just lighten the load with $5, please help me or commission me

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
Democrats should make the confirmation hearing on the nominee to be U.S. Attorney General all about the Epstein files.
If you won’t commit to release the files without redactions and prosecute the Epstein class, then you’re obstructing justice, not enforcing it.
A good time for a reminder that locking people up for low level marijuana offenses doesn’t solve anything and our federal laws need to catch up with the times
