Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.”

He wasn’t kidding.

Booker is on track to erase and replace a historical record (from segregationist Storm Thurmond) at a time when we have an administration trying to erase the real history of this country. Lots of things matter. Symbols among them.

These are religious fundamentalists, tech overlords and white supremacists.

They see that education makes people liberal and reject theocracy. Education gives workers power. And education makes people have fewer babies. They want more white babies.

So they want to kill all that.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America:
1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI
2) kill universities
3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub
4) empty the cities
5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

The mail woman just walked through an active parade to deliver mail on the other side of the street and I cannot imagine wanting to cut money from that service.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union.

If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South.

Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.
