You deserve guaranteed healthcare in the richest, most powerful country in the world. Don't let a corporation or a corporate-bought politician tell you otherwise. Pass Medicare for All.

Rob Manfred said in October 2024 that MLB had a "darn good" record on competitive balance. Back in 2018, he said the correlation between winning and spending was "extraordinarily weak." Now, he says MLB's luxury-tax system has failed: nytimes.com/athletic/73318…

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Congrats to Dr. Adam Hamawy on his resounding victory tonight in the NJ-12 primary! Special interests lost. Justice, dignity, and compassion won. I can’t wait to work alongside him to guarantee Medicare for All, end forever wars, and abolish ICE. 💪🏽

Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Reform the Supreme Court. Get money out of politics. Abolish ICE so they stop ruining the lives of innocent people and messing with our polling places.

You know what Mamdani taxed the rich and then suddenly libraries started to work, potholes got fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more. That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!

It's not immigrants making life impossible for working mainers. It's not trans kids. It's billionaires, and the politicians like Susan Collins on their payroll.

@ForeverMarlins There is certainly more to be done, but what happened with unionization was a tremendous first step. Yes, it’s a separate contract for minor league players, but at least they now have one, despite the owners efforts to crush their organizing campaign.

@ForeverMarlins The recent successful unionization of minor league ball players is one of the most inspiring examples of labor organizing in decades. More to be done, but the players union supported this and owners opposed it. I wrote about it here: digitalcommons.fiu.edu/record/2323?ln…

@ForeverMarlins This unionization of minor leaguers gave them the right to collective bargaining and a contract that significantly raised wages and benefits. The minor leaguers deserve credit for that, but the players union did support this effort and the owners opposed.

I can tell you this, the union doesn't give a damn about losing a PR battle with MLB.

MLB is doing a better job getting its message out to fans than the Players Association is. The League is successfully galvanizing fans toward its pursuit of a salary cap. The Players Association seems to be completely reactive to everything that’s going on. I’m very much on the

Trump believes climate change is a “hoax,” and he and his Big Oil friends want more fossil fuel and carbon emissions. Meanwhile, the planet is warming at dangerous levels and Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave. We must break our fossil fuel addiction & save the planet.
