After the Revolution, Thomas Paine was cast aside in the early U.S.
My thesis uses political cartoons from the era to track the origins of his vilification, comparing his biography to his caricature.

What's most infuriating about the Musk trillionaire shit is that his enterprise is built almost exclusively on gov contracts. It's not just that he's expropriating our wealth in an abstract way -- his fortune is built on the tax dollars we pay, that he then obtains through graft.

In an interview with @zeteo_news @ZohranKMamdani says, "and I think Graham Platner put it best when he recently said 'our taxpayer dollars should be building schools and hospitals in this country and not bombs to destroy them in Gaza.'"

I'm running for Congress to make billionaires and corporations pay their fair share so we can fund Medicare for All, good union jobs, truly affordable housing and the future we deserve.

AOC's refusal to wholeheartedly endorse Graham Platner -- after endorsing Biden and Harris at the height of a genocide -- is inexcusable. It defies justification.
And people's inability to be frank about this will be what separates her reasonable supporters from the fanatics.

AOC on Graham Platner becoming the Democratic nominee in Maine:
"I, of course, am deeply supportive of a Democratic majority, and we're going to do what we can to secure that, and the people of Maine have made their decision, and we'll move forward."

The lines are drawn: $30 million from AIPAC, Schumer and corporate PACs vs. Us, the People of Michigan, the UAW, the Nurses, and Bernie.
It’s time to choose our future. Let’s fight.

British caricatures in the late 18th and early 19th centuries were full of fanatical tropes to degrade political radicals. One such victim was Thomas Paine, whose radical egalitarian and democratic writings were linked to Satan himself!

Democrats could easily run on this message across the country, connecting imperialism and American unceasing support for zionism to domestic shortcomings.
Alas, the party establishment is backed by AIPAC, private equity, insurance companies, and defense contractors.

We should fund schools, homes and hospitals here — not bomb them abroad.
Our new ad, "Ceasefire," is now airing.
