@NewProgressUSA on Twitter. Here to reconnect with mutuals from the old site. Staunch universalist; UBI, universal healthcare, etc. I follow back to amplify those who fight for universalism.
The special guest was @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

It was disheartening to hear him invoke Dr. King so much but not mention UBI.

I waited outside after to try to intercept him and give him a copy of this 1968 letter - one of his staffers took it & said she’d give it to him.

It’s May Day.

If you aren’t fighting for UBI, you need to evolve.

Relying on wages & work for survival is the primitive way of doing things. Guaranteeing individual survival with universal policies is the civilized way.

As Bayard Rustin said in 1965, “We must separate pay from work.”

We need UBI

UBI is the most important issue because every other important issue has underlying causes that would be addressed by everyone having universal basic income.

Money is an essential tool for building large societies. Poverty not only prevents building, it causes destruction.

Eliminating it is an absolute good. This is so basic & it never ceases to amaze me when someone is too primitive to 'get it.'

It's time to get civilized with UBI.
