AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.

First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

If we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Because they're heretics along with being vile, racist, and hateful.

β€œLight Melts Ice”, 24x24. Acrylic on canvas. Trying to express reactions to our current state of affairs. I want to be hopeful yet very aware of where we are. These are crude and I will probably continue on this after it dries. But it felt good to let anger and outrage flow.

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully:

The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

I'd be fine if everyone who confirmed any of them also had repercussions.

I hope everybody out there realizes, and I am completely serious, if Donald Trump and the Republicans win the midterms, we will become the United States of trump. And I'm not even joking. He stole a dead presidents theater.

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

Kristi Noem must resign.

And if she won’t, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

This is one part of one block in N.Y.C. in 1929 . Trump has lived in an Ivory Tower his entire life. He has no reality about the working class. This is also a photo of N.Y.C. 1929.

MID TERMS. Anyone, no matter the party, that has supported a Trump policy, has to go. No exceptions.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
