“So the mortgage interest deduction, this is an entitlement. Anyone with a home can deduct the cost of their mortgage from their tax bill. Now that costs the government about $193 billion a year.

We spend about $53 billion on direct housing assistance to the needy. So that's like public housing, reducing vouchers, everything we do to try to help poor families face the housing crisis that is far, far, far less than the amount we spend as a nation. Just supporting homeowners that don't need the support because most of the mortgage interest deduction just goes to the top 20% of income earners.”

Another deliver-for-working-people Mayor, defeats oligach billions, and is elected Mayor of Seattle!

Mamdani phoned to congratulate her.

How the hell can anyone say this guy is too old to be president? He’s sharper than 95% of both parties. Here he is giving an impromptu press conference when Schumer was MIA. No notes, no earpiece, just speaking his thoughts. #Bernie

I hope this will not go the way of Bernie's "Our #Revolution," which flopped due to lack of support

All the more reason not to demobilize the 100,000 #Mamdani volunteers: #Bernie made this mistake after 2016, thereby becoming a political #nothingburger https://jacobin.com/2025/11/mamdani-dsa-democrats-cuomo-socialists

Organising food in the middle of Trunp starvation is fighting for Democracy, America, America. Organize food WIDELY. And crown thy good with brotherhood.

TRUMP WANTS TO STARVE DEMOCRACY TO DEATH.

Organize.

"#Mamdani will also likely be relying on continued efforts of supporter base including over 100,000 volunteers who could have an impact... if it remains mobilized." #Bernie demobilized after the campaign not sure about #Zohran https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/06/mamdanis-real-fight-has-just-begun-00639466

Trump's MAGA GOP is on paid holiday. Trump is obsessed with Venezuela and Nigeria. #Bernie is on the job for the American people and their healthcare. ❤️💪 #uspoli #shutdown

Here's some random crowd work from my two nights in Burlington, #Vermont back in April 2025. Back when Elon was at DOGE. I was very sick during these shows. That's why I'm mouth breathing. But I was able to get through them without passing out, so that's a win.

Well #Cuomo is done politically. He is the past. The big question is what is a winning strategy going forward.

There is no single strategy, but #Bernie, #AOC, and now #Mandani have shown an alternative path.

Would that have worked for #Spanberger in #VA? I’ll leave others to opine, but her politics are more #centrist and maybe that is a better fit in the Commonwealth

#USPolitics

@Gehtso Dass Trump toben wird, dürfte so sicher sein, wie nasses Wasser.

Die Bundesmittel machen im New Yorker Haushalt aber wohl nur einen sehr kleinen Anteil aus und viel mehr kann Trump anscheinend gar nicht tun.

Was spannend wird ist, wie die demokratische Partei reagier, denn die ist ja in keiner Weise irgendwie links, weshalb da wahrscheinlich ziemlicher Knatsch vorprogrammiert sein dürfte.
Wenn #AOC, #Bernie #und #Mamdani den Laden bisschen aufmischen, dürfte es denen aber ganz gut tun.

Will the mittens be back? We Vermonters get decades out of wool mittens.

Shout out for the hand crafted mitten. Mine are in my bureau drawer. Maroon wool with cream accents, c. 1972 from my Gramma Bea.

Pretty #shameless: all the more reason to hit the mute button any time any #Democratic #Senator, or #Bernie, even opens their mouth to express moral outrage https://citizensimpeachment.com/senate-position-tracker/ #impeachment #trump #fascism

@realTuckFrumper
#Bloomberg threatening to dump another $1.5M turd down the #Cuomo toilet just reminds everyone that his entire 2020 Presidential Campaign was simply an effort to stop #BernieSanders from becoming president (b/c the moment #Bernie dropped out, so did Mike.)

Bloomie has NEVER been on the side of Progressives or the working people. 🤬

OK, przekonałem znajomego, że warto założyć konto na Fedi, chociaż jest tu znacznie mniej ludzi niż na Fejsie itd.
