While I was off Twitter, I drove over 40,000 miles across the Heartland over six months and wrote a series called "These American Crossroads" all about regular people in states like Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska organizing and protesting.

The last 24 hours of news as a woman:
- A man jacks off to the woman next to him on a plane. United makes her return to her seat.
- 7 frat boys drug and gang rape a student for hours, and advertise βfree p*ssyβ to their frat. Cornell makes them write essays.
- A football player rapes a student. LSU reduces his suspension.
- A teen boy stalks and stabs a girl 10 times. Courts grant only a restraining order.
- Brendan Carr spent 9 years in a cult raping teen girls. Trump made him FCC Chair.
Reflecting today on this interview I gave YSM in 2025 while I was writing βThese American Crossroadsβ last year.
Still stand by every word.
Yes, we can win.

So this is what electing a democratic socialist mayor can get you: corporations issuing groveling apologies for underpaying their workers
Since 2023, more than 200,000 Dashers in New York City were underpaid or paid late under the Cityβs delivery worker pay rules. These errors were unintentional, but that doesnβt make them acceptable. Dashers should be paid in full, on time, every time. We take full responsibility, and weβre deeply sorry.
Weβve reached a $131.5 million settlement with the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Every impacted Dasher will receive the amount they are owed, and theyβll be contacted directly with payment details.
We understand the impact of even one missed or late payment. Weβve addressed the issues that caused these errors and made changes to prevent them from happening again.

DoorDash spent $1 million in the 2025 NYC mayoral election against Zohran Mamdani, whose campaign included promises to investigate delivery/Rideshare services for underpaying/withholding wages.

And there it is. Just as I predicted. Theyβre canceling Congress tomorrow to avoid the vote on IMPEACHING @SecWar. It will also make it harder for us to reach 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election. We were at 190+ signatures last night.
GOP leaders are sending the House home early, staving off an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Hegseth over the Iran war. cnn.it/4xTIVLP
