There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical.

We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

For anyone still scratching their head about how Trump won. This VIDEO sums it up: It wasn’t about egg prices, it wasn’t about HER LAUGH, it wasn’t about Biden’s age. It was about RACISM. Plain and simple. The candidate with the most racist policies won. #bluecrew #fbr #demcast #resist #demsconnect

NC's Research Triangle is what pays the bills by providing abundant great jobs in this state. If you want to become South Carolina and survive on fireworks stands and Dollar Stores, cutting science funding is how you do it. But Tillis and Budd got theirs; they don't give a shit. #ncpol
Nearly half a billion dollars ($484M) lost in the NC research triangle alone

Where TF are Thom Tillis & Ted Budd?
Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs.

First Trump seized control of the Kennedy Center so he could control what goes on stage there

Now he's attacking The Smithsonian and tasked JD Vance with removing anything that reflects "Anti-American Ideology" WETF that means

Nazis similarly attacked the arts & culture

CURRENTLY…STILL…our Senate Minority Leader is Chuck Schumer. His refusal to step down from his position, coupled with a lack of pressure from those who could make it happen, is all I need to know the Democratic Party is not ran by or for its people. Better fix it before the next elections.
