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.

Well fucking finally.

Thank you Senator Murphy.

Impeach Trump now.
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Seems important.
Federal election spending by the 100 wealthiest Americans is now 140x what it was in 2000.

Last year they crossed $1 billion in election spending.

“After the rally, demonstrators will march to the Capitol with Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for what organizers say will be ‘record-breaking’ lobbying to Congress for Trump's impeachment and removal.

In June, Green also called for Trump's impeachment on the House floor.”

Hey DNC,

He’s as fake as your populism.

End this.

We need new leaders now.
1. When it comes to Graham Platner, I don’t have skin in the game. I live in CT, not ME. The good people of that state will figure out for themselves whether he has the right stuff to be their next senator. Indeed, there’s a lot to sort through, including the story of his Nazi tattoo.
A Nazi tattoo can’t keep a good (white) man down
In asking for trust, Graham Platner isn’t invoking the solidarity of class.

We should arrest the traitors in the White House, issue a $10 billion bounty for the arrest or killing of Vladimir Putin, (just like we did for Saddam, remember), and fully fund and arm Ukraine.

Oh, and end the genocide of the Palestinian people. Because murdering babies is bad.

The New York Times' story about Trump calling for the execution of members of Congress ran on Page 16 today, with an itty-bitty promo on the front about halfway down the page.
No wonder Trump thinks he can get away with anything.

This alone is a good enough reason to end the GOP, but you add the treason and pedo rape and you’ve really got something.

When a sitting president calls for death to lawmakers, it’s not a warning sign, it’s the emergency siren. He is talking like a dictator and telling you exactly how he plans to use his power.

This is how democracies fall and how dictatorships begin.

Huh. So the "department of education" says ministry and chiropractors are professional careers now, but nursing, IT, and teaching are not.

It's almost like they just want to make high-demand, skilled positions with educational requirements into low wage jobs to increase profits. Weird.
