AOC: My name is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. and it is my deep honor and privilege to welcome you to the inauguration of our new mayor of New York City. Zohran Kwame Mamdani

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Bernie Sanders publicly swears in Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor

Happy New Year.

THERE. I said it & I really mean it, even though the odds are it will be every bit as challenging & frustrating as the last one.

Jack Smith is a hero.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Trump really has no clue how much people are really starting to hate him. And that includes MAGA. When your approval goes down to 36% it means he’s losing his base.

Part of me wants to pack up and move to another country because I’m terrified of what our country will look like when the MAGATS are done destroying it, but I know that I must stay here and fight; not just for me, but for future generations, as well.

The last president who declared that anything he does is legal was Richard M. Nixon. And we all know how things worked out for him . . .

List of what Kat is grateful for: Heater, housing, groceries, and healthcare, mutual aid networks, our community, leftovers, and of course, all of you!

As we gather with friends and family to reflect, here’s what I’m grateful for — and why I fight for it every day.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Babson student heading to Texas for Thanksgiving surprise deported to Honduras instead Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a business major at Babson, was swiftly deported in violation of a court order, her lawyer alleged.

Not a rapist. Not a murderer. Not a terrorist. Not a violent criminal. Not a drug smuggler. Not an insurrectionist.

A freshman at Babson College. A DACA child in the U.S. lawfully. A party to a lawsuit that the Judge ordered she not be removed. She was sent to Honduras anyway.

Who voted for this?

kaceerallen 3h € BREAKING: Eric Swalwell says that members of the U.S. military have privately informed him that they stand ready to "save the country" from President Trump.

Are they ready to save it not privately—

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"

Agree ⬇️ 💯.....

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

A friendly reminder that 39% of SNAP recipients are seniors, 20% are children, and 12% are people with disabilities. 20,000 active duty soldiers, 200,000 National Guardsmen, and 1.1 million veterans are also on SNAP. Please stop saying it's just "people who need to get a job."

ICE thugs are part of Trump’s January 6th’s full employment proclamation.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

If they look like fascists
They dress like fascists
And they act like fascists
Then calling them the #ICEGestapo
Is alarmingly & wholly accurate?

I'll be surprised if the World Cup has a single game played in the US. All it takes is one team beating the US for Trump to sic ICE on them and get them detained. If FIFA were smart, they'd pull all the US' games and boot the US out of the tournament.

Facisim is ripe in America. The world cup needs to be re located

Do they not realize that they will be next? There are quite a few "not so pale" faces in that photo.
