I am wondering what NM progressives think about the Mamdani win in NYC. What is the message to the Democratic party?

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

With federal contracts canceled, employees laid off, programs discontinued, where is all that money going? Do we know it is being returned to the Treasury as US currency and not crypto?

Stock Market Meltdown? The Morbidly Rich Call It "Happy Hour"! While working families struggle, Trump and his billionaire cronies are cashing in big time…

The grift never ends.

Network State Pushes Corporate Dystopia Cities in Congress Network State figures push “freedom cities”—deregulated tech enclaves free from U.S. laws. A dangerous step toward corporate rule, lost rights.

This is where we are headed. Quite terrifying.
This is what the end game is. Makes me want to watch the movie Blade Runner again.

Another refugee from Facebook. I'm just starting to poke around here and on Substack. A little overwhelming, and awesome. A request: I wish everyone would stop using the words *populist* and *populism* to refer to Trump ideology and supporters. They aren't nearly as populist as any of us.

Just couldn't resist posting this.

While I intend to support the Feb 28 effort to *Defund the Oligarchy* a question on my mind is how will we know our wave of support has worked? Is there a blip in the economy to be seen? Are we expecting media to notice anything?

And what are the Dems doing about the coup to turn the US into a dictatorship? Suing the government? Being guests on MSNBC? We need real ideas, leadership, effective counter measures. Their chess pieces are not even on the board.
