Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

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.

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof.

How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

People shouldn't be of their government. Their government should be afraid of the people. The only power they have is what we give them.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly barring states and organizations that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants.

This will make it harder for the most vulnerable people to get help in the aftermath of disasters.

It was always about cruelty.

Sending troops into US cities against their will.

Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions.

Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor.

Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.

As someone who works at a motel, here's a tip for everyone. Trying to bribe employees to reopen facilities the have been closed because of how late it is stupid, and insulting. So please don't do that! I don't know about other people, but it really pisses me off!

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

The right wing claims that:

1. Both Trump assassination attempts were done by the left

2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left

On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS:

1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters

2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist
