162 years ago, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history.
The sacrifice of these riders reminds us to recommit to accountability and healing for the Dakota people.

This is what abandoning the working class looks like: Opposing amendments to expand Medicare to cover dental, vision & hearing; cut drug prices by 50%; & expand the Child Tax Credit; & supporting fossil fuel giveaways all to appease Joe Mansion. Yes. I think about this day a lot:

Memo to the Ruling Elite and Corporate Media: Expanding Social Security, Medicare for All and raising the minimum wage to at least $17 an hour are a helluva lot more popular than Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney and crypto billionaires.

FDR tried to warn us in 1938.
@LeverNews tried to amplify his warning in 2021.

63% of Americans in swing states want Medicare for All.
13% of Americans approved of Dick Cheney's job as Vice President when he left office.
Go figure...
Dick Cheney lied, a million died.
Medicare for All would save 68,000 lives each year.

This is a very bad night.
Some of us spent years warning Dems to take working-class politics more seriously & to not tout neocons. We did so in hopes of avoiding this & yet we were vilified as traitors by Dem elites & liberal pundits.
There's a lesson here.
Goodnight.

Alright y’all here’s my map! Kamala wins all 7 swing states but I don’t have the balls to give her anything crazy like Iowa or Florida. Basically, I think Selzer is directionally correct, women going big for Kamala. Cowardly pollsters afraid of underestimating Trump have rigged their polls and missed the post-roe, post Jan 6 shifts. Kamala also been effective at battling Trump to a tie on econ. Trump’s overly online campaign and general toxicity was final nail in the coffin.

It’s the eve of the 2024 election, with just about 30 hours to go until the polls close, and I am feeling… honestly… pretty damn good. Here's the latest episode of my podcast (also available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple)...

We know why Trump should NOT be president.
Here’s why Kamala should be.
She wants to:
- Raise the min wage to $15 per hour
- Cancel all medical debt
- Help working parents by expanding the child tax credit
- Expand Medicare to cover home health care, vision & hearing

If Donald Trump is elected:
The struggle against climate change is over.
Women will lose the right to control their own bodies.
We'll have no shot at raising the minimum wage.
Humanitarian aid will not reach starving people in Gaza.
Do not sit this election out.

Trump’s closing argument is hate, division, and fear.
Kamala’s is unity, joy, and hope for the future. You could feel the excitement in Tucson tonight.
