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.

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC.

But no City agency has posted it on this platform.

Please help spread the word.

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it.

The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it.

You know what? We won’t get over it.

It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one.

We will persist. Count on it.

The right justifies mobilizing the Marines against us over a few burnt Waymos and some graffiti.

Meanwhile, their people are carrying out political assassinations.

It’s time for the Democratic Party leadership to get their heads on straight. The violence is not on our side of the fence.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

We’re at war with Iran, Trump’s gone into hiding, nobody will tell us our objectives, plan or end game, our Sec of Defense is a useless dipshit, our Sec of State lied about it, our DNI loves the leader of Iran’s greatest ally, & tomorrow we’re having a parade for Trump’s bday.

History shows that once an authoritarian ruler establishes the infrastructure of a police state, that same infrastructure can be turned on anyone.

Trump is rapidly creating such an infrastructure.

Every dem-controlled state should be teeing this up.
Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16.

Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

The average nusing home bill in USA is $8,669-$10,646 a MONTH. Medicaid picks up the part that Medicare doesn't cover. Nursing home takes your ENTIRE SS check, and leaves you with about $40 a month. They put a lein on things you own. I don't know anyone who gets a SS check that is 8K a month.
