Taps 🎙 bad strategy is saying you must unite with people who want to kill you or helped attempted killing of.
There are definitely mad ways to find common ground but I guess your faves (because seriously never heard of J. D**e until a month ago) don’t understand strategy
Like ok you clearly “hate identity politics” whatever cool story. But like THE LAST TIME WE UNITED WITH FOLKS IT WAS EASILY TORN A PART BASED ON RACIAL, GENDER & NATION OF ORIGIN LINES. Y’all want to repeat history or actually have a true working class rev?
Y’all blame the “woke left” but don’t even want to engage in conversation about strategy all you want to do is talk to and pontificate about. Well have fun because I am watching y’all make yourselves irrelevant.
HAVING A PODCAST DOESNT MAKE YOU AN ORGANIZER.
The ruling class will always separate us by any means necessary. Yes we must unite the working class, which I have yet to see someone from the Capitol come from poverty 👀 that’s a whole other story. But you CAN NOT unite w/ ppl who don’t believe some of us should exist
Final note I’m really glad I never really paid attention to these men who say they care about the working class because let me tell you my family don’t know who they are. I also bet you no one in AOCs’s district follows, listens or reads them.

Dear Democratic leadership specifically Joe Biden,
Majority of Americans support a major COVID-19 relief package. Lots of people support & want big bold solutions for this moment. Do not allow Republicans who failed to address this crisis the leeway to make you meet them.
And if the numbers and political appeal doesn’t help. Please listen to me. For over a week my grandmother has been in the hospital with a majority of my immediate family getting covid. You know what some members of my family think about??? ...
Surviving. People are given the choice to try and survive for themselves by not getting behind on bills or putting themselves and others at risk. That is a nightmare and it is disgusting.
Just to be clear #StimulusChecks is the BARE MINIMUM of what the government should be doing. They should be ensuring
- Everyone gets paid until pandemic is done.
- Creating long term federal jobs programs for all. #JobsAndCare
- Cancelling Rent.
It’s actually simple.
This is the richest country in the world, you could have found the money somewhere. Also legit Ron Johnson’s seat is up in 2022 just saying.
How about we give the people’s furlough to Ron Johnson how about he don’t get paid for the next 4 months and his check is redistributed to people suffering?
One thing I’m going to be talking a lot more about is COVID how it felt, how it’s absolutely Fucked me up. Not for a pity party but let’s actually talk about the lasting physical and metal effects
For one. Let me tell you for someone whose said for years Im tired, I’ll never say it again in the same framing.
Also there’s NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. It’s not like the flu my b. I had to just try a bunch of things and mentally being in New York I basically prayed to my ancestors that I wouldn’t die.
September 11th was my fourth day of High School in Manhattan coming from Staten Island.
This day is painful for many reasons but to name a few....
Staten Island lost the most people per capita in the city. I remember friends waiting outside their porches for their first responder family members. when I finally got to go back to the island almost a week later
I hate absolutely hate what this city and country did to Muslim, Arab and other folks living in this country that fit the stereotype and narrative of what the admin was selling. DHS was started on the basis of discrimination and harm
First thank you to the NYC journalists that have been reporting about this but let’s do a thread on why EVERYONE INCLUDING COUNCIL MEMBERS. Are facing retribution to supporting a real #DefundNYPD
1/
So let’s recount the NYPD is actively targeting anyone who was at #occupycityhall we occupied at the end of June they kicked us out in July and they STAY KIDNAPPING and targeting folks
I wasn’t just only at #OccupyWallStreet I actually put in work on the ground unlike some folks on twitter dot com. I’m also a lifelong New Yorker who grew up under Mike’s tenure as mayor. And this is a 🧵 about Michael Rubens Bloomberg 1/
Ok, so Bloomberg gets elected to Mayor in 2001, as a Republican. This is two months after 9/11 I was a freshman in high school and my school was in Manhattan (just giving you context) this is years after a Giuliani administration (Im sorry y’all)
Bloomberg comes into office while being the one of the world’s 🌍 richest men. Financial, software, data & mass media company that is named Bloomberg. This stapel is the Bloomberg terminal, a software system providing financial data that is used widely in finance 3/
