Not your stereotypical Boomer. Veteran, mom, metal-head, and an avid gamer. A political wonk since we fought for the right to vote at 18. Democracy requires participation.
No DMs. There's a block option and I'm not afraid to use it.

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.

We have the power. It's up to us to stop the wealthy from causing yet another Great Depression, Great Recession, "dot.com" collapse, Civil War... all to protect their money.

Greed is why we don't have universal healthcare. What's so insane is that it would cost less to have a healthcare system that really took care of everyone than the system we have now, while the Republicans are trying to spin the ACA as "too expensive"....

Dem leadership falls for the same trick every time while pretending the Republicans were negotiating in good faith. Getting fooled over and over again, means they either aren't capable of learning the lesson because they are completely stupid or someone else is calling the shots. All about $$$$$
Don't Let Democratic Centrists Hijack the Majority With Their Cowardice!

Vichy Democrats decided to betray their party, their base, and Americans fighting for lower healthcare costs based on a bullshit promise by Republicans. Never forget.

We absolutely outnumber the oligarchs. Plus their wealth depends on our spending, our labor and our willingness to ignore the inequities.
One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

The president is refusing to feed people while he throws parties at taxpayer expense!
No. You don't get to pretend it's the Dems' fault when the GOP President of the United States just went all the way to the SUPREME COURT to keep food away from poor people. FULL stop.

Letting people go hungry is the president’s choice.
Remind people of this fact every fucking day.
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

This game just came out and pokes fun at corporate greed and political corruption. Watching it may brighten your day, or upset you due to violence.

Force media to report the truth by doing exactly this kind of come back.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Almost there people! 3.5%. We are more powerful than a TACO.
Friends — these are terrible times, to be sure. But I believe we will triumph. Here’s why.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

This is the right question but we know the answer. They hate the people they are told to hate so those responsible don't get held accountable...
