They tried to explain it away and call it a fluke. "It could ONLY happen in New York." "It's JUST an East Coast thing." "It ONLY can happen in big cities." But on Tuesday, when it happens in the Midwest with @donavanmckinney.bsky.social, we will make history.
"Right now our democracy is in distress. And maybe the solution to the problem is sending a doctor to the senate." Honored to represent @workingfamilies.org today and help get folks fired up to vote for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social in Michigan. 🐺🔥
Swing voters still favor the political outsider even when attacked as “too liberal, outside the mainstream, and less likely to get things done.”
Both independents *and* moderates are more likely to favor a change candidate who says the system is broken over the experienced elected official promising practical reforms.
80% of swing voters agree that elected officials care more about wealthy donors and powerful interests than people like them. ➡️Among independents who often decide close races, 88% of them agree with this statement.
Corporate donors are spending millions because they’re scared. They’ve seen working class-champions like @bradlander.bsky.social, @melatkirosco.bsky.social, @villegas4congress.bsky.social and @chrisrabb.com triumph. They know their own power is on the decline. 🧵 apnews.com/article/aipa...

Heading into 2026, I feel a powerful defiance. I believe that to overcome dread, we have to earn our way through organizing. And we will. Let's get it 💪🏿 ➡️ @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @indivisible.org @moveon.org www.howwefightback.com/p/from-dread...

"This is why we say there are no good billionaires...It's hard for this much concentrated wealth to not do harm on the world." 🙌🏿 🔥 @joyannreid.bsky.social Full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0G0...
Tech oligarchs are ready to drop $100m+ to defeat anyone who wants to regulate AI. I joined @thedamagereport.bsky.social to talk about how working people can fight back.
I spoke with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social about why we need candidates who will fight for a government that does more for working people, not less. It's not a radical concept.
When @workingfamilies.org knocks on doors, no one brings up trans athletes at UPenn 🤔 They bring up affordability and the cost of living. They want to talk about how our entire system is rigged by design. Let's name it. @wajali.bsky.social thelefthook.substack.com
Fusion voting? Well that’s just math mathing. I joined @pocan.house.gov to break down the how and why fusion voting is a 🔑 for third parties in #elections. #thirdparty @nywfp.bsky.social @nywfp.bsky.social 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mn6...
The verdict in today’s trial doesn’t change this simple fact… #Diddy #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs
We need leaders with a vision and real plans for how government can work for regular people. Zohran didn’t play it safe or take easy positions. He laid it all on the line and inspired an entire city in the process. Join @workingfamilies.org
Yesterday was a wake-up call to the political establishment. People are tired of a status quo that isn’t working for them. They’re tired of leaders who are disconnected from the pressures that working people are facing every day.
A message for Black NYC voters. Let me know in the comments if you’re voting today… ✔️🗳️ #ElectionDay
