Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

House Rep: My name is __ from zip code __. Deportation w/out due process is against the law & so is defying the SC order to help bring Mr. Garcia home. Keep your oath to uphold the Constitution. Introduce Articles of Impeachment against Trump. Remember, a dictator does not need a legislature. We do.
