Your health should not depend on your bank account or your zip code.
For too long, corporate interests and entrenched politicians have treated healthcare as a luxury for the lucky few, rather than what it actually is, a fundamental human right.

Nothing will stop us.
Not the cynics.
Not the lobbyists.
Not the status quo.

I’m fighting for a $25/hour minimum wage, indexed to inflation, because 40 hours a week should cover rent, groceries, childcare, and a little breathing room, not just keep you trapped on a treadmill while corporations rake in record profits.

Protesters disrupted a lame duck session of the Georgia Public Service Commission on Wednesday, demanding that commissioners not vote on a $20 billion spending plan presented by Georgia Power, which critics say could lock customers into paying higher costs for decades.

Yesterday’s election showed people are ready for something new. Zohran proved it’s possible to beat the corporate establishment when you organize.
Now it’s our turn. We’re building that same movement in the South, to make Atlanta the progressive capital of the Southeast once again.

General strike only works if we can feed ourselves.
Organize a one-month canned reserve at home, block by block.
We can also update the TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program) to support this from the legislative side to allow "prepping" as part of emergency assistance.

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.
A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.
We will choose the future.

I think a lot of the “change” in MTG’s messaging isn’t evolution, it’s positioning.
They know a power vacuum is coming after the Trump regime collapses.
The Epstein files will blow open, the economy’s collapsing, and the opportunists are getting ready to jump ship.

The Hamilton song “Wrote My Way Out” always hits home. That’s me with code — I wrote my way out too.
My family crossed the border chasing a better life. America once saw the humanity in our struggle and gave us a chance.
It’s my turn to return the favor — and I’m not throwing away my shot.
