Obviously, I have absolutely no love for Donald Trumps fascist regime that is bombing countries every day, kidnapping American families with ICE, continuously arming Israels genocide against the Palestinians, and trying every dirty trick in the book to take our rights. However, I have infinite respect for the countless brave American activists and heroes that advanced seismic change and made the lives of average Americans so much better.

John Brown was an incredibly brave man who put his life into freeing the slaves from the treacherous, depraved traitors that were the confederates and fought like hell to ensure the abolition of slavery was guaranteed. His sacrifice helped ensure the freedom of Black Americans for generations to come.

I salute all of the incredibly brave women who fought for their right to vote in the suffragette movement between the 1840s until 1920. Without their brave sacrifice and their fight, women would not have the right to vote today and would be massively more disenfranchised as well.

I salute the bravery of people like Mother Jones and the brave coal miners who fought in the Blair Mountain uprising of 1921. Without the sacrifice they committed to fighting for, we wouldn't have the labor protections we have today and we would not have known about the horrific and treacherous working conditions those brave miners were subjected to.

I also thank the incredibly brave and honorable civil rights leaders like Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, Huey Newton, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Junior who all fought day in and day out to liberate Black Americans from the brutal apartheid of Jim Crow and lead the way to the Civil Rights Act being passed in 1964. Those brave acts included the sit-ins throughout the 1960s and the Montgomery Bus Boycott between 1956 and 1957. That in addition to the free lunch program and rainbow coalition of the Black Panther Party that got together to help as many people’s lives as humanly possible.

I salute the sacrifice and bravery of everyone that took part in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, and helped to pave the way to better protections and representation for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community, including lesbian women, gay men, and trans people across the board. Without their sacrifice and their strength and resolve, the LGBTQ+ rights movement would be in much more dire shape.

To add on that, I now want to thank those in who helped lead change in the 21st century, starting with the beloved NYC Mayor, Zohran Mamdani. Born in Kampala, Uganda on October 18th, 1991, he and his family moved to NYC when he was seven years old. Many years later, he became a New York assemblyman and became a brave advocate for the Palestinian people and the people of Astoria in his area of Manhattan.

In 2025, he dismantled the Cuomo family dynasty by whooping his ass twice in BOTH elections and immediately started cracking down on corrupt landlords and secured universal childcare weeks into his term. In the seven months since then, he has become one of if not the most popular Dems in the country when he was unknown only a couple years before. He is an inspiration to all immigrants who come here looking for a new lease of life and opportunity and has stood ten toes down against Donald Trump by appealing to his core and helping to free a Palestinian Activist with just a phone call.

Lastly, I wanted to talk a bit more on Hasan Dogan Piker. Born on the 25th of July, 1991, he started out as a streamer back in 2018 and rapidly became one of the most popular political streamers on Twitch. But he is far more than just a streamer. He is also an incredible fighter against fascism and helped propel several incredible candidates to victory and dismantling the Democratic Establishment piece by piece. He played a key role in elevating America’s Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, into the mainstream. He also helped with elevating people like Adam Hamawy, Darializa Chevalier, Melat Kiros and several others to victory. He also got Abdul El Sayed from the back of the pack all the way to first and becoming the most beloved candidate in the race.

And to add on just a bit more, I wanted to express my solidarity for the indigenous people on the lands of the Americas. No one is illegal on stolen land and that will remain the case for the rest of time.

TLDR: All of these people have had incredibly positive impacts on our country and helped it become a better place for everyone. People like Zohran and Hasan are both people that make me have hope that this country can become better and be a better place for all people across the board.

Whether they are women, men, or nonbinary people alike, all of them have played a fundamental role in making America a more equitable place for everyone.

THE PEOPLE! UNITED! WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!

Francesca Hong is a favorite in the race. If she wins the Democratic primary on August 11, we could finally see how a democratic socialist is able to perform in a swing state.

Polling so far of a potential race between Francesca Hong and Tom Tiffany, the leading Republican, shows a statistical tie.

Between Hong in Wisconsin and El-Sayed in Michigan, both campaigns will serve as major stress tests for progressive electability in crucial presidential battleground states.
