Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen

It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care.

This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.

In Denmark:

- Health care and college are free.  

- The starting wage is $22/hr.

- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.  

- All workers get pensions.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

It's fascism.

Call it what it is.

Working class Americans live SEVEN years shorter lives than the rich.

In many respects, being working class in America is a death sentence.

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money.

That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries.

There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The US spends 2x more per capita on health care than any other nation. Yet 85 million are uninsured or underinsured, 68,000 die because they can’t afford a doctor & we pay the highest prices in the world for Rx drugs.

Health care is a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.

Etched on the foot of the Statue of Liberty is a poem that speaks to the heart of our nation's responsibility.

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities.

Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.
