-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) has found his voice and his moment in his reelection campaign. In a recent rip-roaring speech, he clobbered the Trump regime for its economic blunders, moral rot, and increasing inability to hide either from the American people.

We, the People cannot and will not be silenced. We must keep protecting our rights by exercising them.
DHS surveilling and tracking people exercising their First Amendment right to free speech is another dangerous step along the road to fascism.

Donald Trump is claiming he “pardoned” Tina Peters.
Here’s the fact: a president cannot pardon a state conviction - presidential pardons apply only to federal offenses. Tina Peters was convicted in CO state court, under CO law.

In CO, we answer to the law - not Trump & his political power plays.

Trump is floating the idea of “nationalizing” elections and having the federal government take over voting.

That’s a direct threat to the Constitution. States and local election officials run elections for a reason: to keep power decentralized and protect the people from government overreach.

Russia is at war with the West and invaded Europe 12 years ago in Crimea and Donbas.

Europe and the USA have been reactive rather than proactive, doing less than they can do rather than what is needed. Ukraine remains the West's only fighting defender.

As I said 11 years ago…

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Orban is an internationally recognized tyrant. An autocratic dictator who is watching his country and its people fall further into dispair. No wonder Trump likes him and makes fallacious claims about him. Authoritarians stick together.
