Also fuck Mike Johnson for saying politicians can't survive off $175k salaries but they expect citizens to live off $40k or $7.25 an hour. Fuck all the way off

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.

Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.

Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end.
Speak your truth, fight and believe.

“…the forces that stand today against …political representation for Black people won’t stop there…They seek a one party political system ruled by authoritarians. The political oppression of Black people is not the end. It is the conduit.”

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero.

And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing.

Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani came into office with a historic $12B deficit left to him by the failed Eric Adams administration.

And in just 132 days, Mayor Mamdani has brought a $12 BILLION deficit to $0—all without cutting a single social service. youtu.be/6GXFg6RHP64?...

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars:

1) Profiting from a monopoly

2) Insider-trading

3) Political payoffs

4) Fraud

5) Inheritance

Don’t believe the self-made myth.
