On Thursday at 7pm in New Jersey, fmr Dem Rep. Tom Malinowski will be hosting a town hall meeting—since the sitting GOP Rep. Tom Kean won’t. Malinowski’s invite reads that Kean “refuses to hear his constituents’ concerns … remaining invisible in both Washington and his district.”

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
