Still wondering what you can do? Here’s your answer for Black Friday Week: don’t support companies that don’t support you. Stop financing your own oppression. We ain’t buying it.

The harm is real: Black workers pushed out of jobs, HBCUs stripped of resources, Black mothers and fathers denied healthcare, and neighborhoods left without protection from floods, asthma, or poisoned water.

As he unleashes troops to combat "crime," Trump is simultaneously gutting the cops on the beat that stop corporations from harming us — the EPA, IRS, SEC, Labor Department, FTC, CFPB, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Sure, narrative control is side benefit, but seems wrong to claim Trump's motive in taking over DC is to distract from his failures & crimes. That's the calculus of a politician trying to win elections. His agenda is to seize ultimate power so he need not have to bother with courting votes.

My MSNBC debut, on the rising ACA premiums. The Trump Admin is letting the Biden Admin's enhanced subsidies expire, making marketplace ins prohibitively expensive (so younger/healthier people will drop out, leaving the rest costlier to insure), & tariffs aren't helping. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

For those who buy insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act, premiums are about to get much more expensive.

Parents and providers know what they need in a childcare system: something simple & safe where all kids have a high quality spot. We worked with Community Change on a new paper w/ research rooted in conversations with stakeholders about these simple demands.
NEW📃: The US childcare system is failing families. It's unaffordable, unsustainable, & susceptible to corporate interests.

Today, we offer a bold vision to build a public, universal ECE system that puts children, families, and workers first. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications...

Trouble with having focused on Medicaid alone, instead of naming horror show #MAGAMurderBill, attacking it as financing fascist assault to abduct our neighbors, steal our healthcare, seize more power, is that Medicaid provisions go into effect AFTER midterms.

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

Will the Dem leaders and frontline members be “popularist” (join the large majority in opposition to war) or will they fold in the face of Republican bluster (which would tell us a lot about the role popularism actually plays in Dem politics)? www.offmessage.net/p/18-thought...

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?
An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.
