A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies.

I encourage you to join — and shop small. https://weaintbuyingit.com/

Trump’s illegal strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific now have a death toll of over 80. With looming threats of land strikes in Venezuela, Trump is trying to start a new, pointless forever war. I’m doing all I can to stop him.

How to get rid of Citizens United?

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.

There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

About 40% of SNAP recipients are children. Around half of ALL children in the country are covered by Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

And the so-called “party of family values” gutted both programs by billions of dollars.

Doesn’t sound very pro-family to me.

President Trump's ongoing attempts to use the military for law enforcement endangers public safety and our rights.

Tell your Senator to co-sponsor a bill that will limit domestic military deployments and enhance oversight.
Congress: U.S. Troops are Not the President's Personal Police Force
Military troops do not belong on our streets and should never be used to police civilians. The Senate must protect our freedoms and pass the Military in Law Enforcement Accountability Act now.

Also, in his last term, Trump mused about shooting protestors in the legs. The man is a convicted felon who issued illegal orders regularly to his top company officers.

The fact of the matter is that these guard members in DC were there bc of Tr*mp. They never had to be there. They never needed to be there. They should've been home with their families, but Donald Tr*mp has been using them as political pawns for months.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.
