Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

The United Farm Workers union mourns the passing and celebrates the life of UFW cofounder Dolores Huerta.
The greatest possible tribute to her life is for her work of organizing to continue. 1/

Working people will make their voices heard.
Cast your ballot thru Sunday, November 1 during early voting or on Election Day - Tuesday, November 3, but don’t miss the opportunity to weigh in about the direction our country is headed.

Working people are struggling to make rent and pay for groceries, and President Trump wants to sell you a $5000 hamburger at his private golf club. (Fries and a drink extra.)

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president.
That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power.
Vote.

El-Sayed: In my Neurology unit, I would have to give that MOCA exam, that cognitive test he's so proud of… The only people you give that test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you’re taking one of those tests, something is wrong.
And you know the doctor who gave it to him was like, I just want to see how smart you are, sir. And he's like, me too.
He brags about having taken it. He's like I remembered the rhinoceros. You're like Habibi, everybody remember the rhinoceros.
And the funny thing about it is, you know, he's taken it multiple times. So he's not even bragging about the first time he took it. He's like, I took it the 1st time and then I took it the 2nd time. So with Donald Trump, you can't blame him for this, he's just dumb.
But for Mike Rogers, can you imagine how small of a human being you have to be to know that he has real deficits and to just nod your head approvingly at the most ridiculous shit that the man proposes?

In 1972, a group of Harlem Renaissance cultural icons gathered at Duke Ellington's house.
The afternoon was captured on 16mm film by William Greaves, but the footage remained unedited in a vault for 50 years until David Greaves restored and completed his father's project, releasing the documentary in 2026.
Once Upon a Time in Harlem is a film that every New Yorker should see — and this weekend you can, at no cost.
We partnered with the filmmakers to offer free screenings this Saturday and Sunday at the Lincoln Center, Film Forum, and Magic AMC in Harlem.

Companies like Amazon control the work & collect the profits, but leave workers without basic protections. The Delivery Protection Act would hold these companies accountable & improve safety for both workers & communities.

“When a nurse is suspended for speaking up about patient safety and staffing concerns, every worker in New York City should be concerned,” said Brendan Griffith, President of the New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO.

The New York City Labor Movement stands with NYSNA in demanding that H+H lift this suspension, respect nurses' union rights, and honor its staffing commitments.”

We all do better when we all do better. Our country also works best when we all have a say in how we move forward.

The maximum amount an individual can donate to a candidate is $3500.
Elon Musk just donated $7 million to one Republican, because Citizens United gave a loophole to billionaires to buy elections.
Overturn Citizens United.

OSSOFF: I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become. I refuse to accept that they will grow up with artificial friends and teachers in a society where the sick die not because there's no cure, but because they have no money—where we have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world a thousandfold but we still refuse to guarantee healthcare for every citizen.
When Eva's old enough to ask me why I let this happen. I'm determined to answer truthfully that I didn't.

This is insane. The level of overt, proud racism, hatred and bigotry in today's Republican Party is a stain on every leader in it and it will never ever wash away.
