It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

This is the #Progressive way.

New messengers and leaders are stepping forward. People who just get it and now is their moment. With their fearlessness, authenticity, and hope: We must support them if we want to save all that we hold so dear.

Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics. 

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

I have decided to wear a WHITE BANDANA in some way from now until the end of the #Trump regime as a symbol of RESISTANCE and to identify myself proudly as an opponent of this dictatorship.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

On Abraham Lincoln's 216th birthday, it's worth listening to this important warning he gave us back in 1838. Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Progressive principles are timeless. We've won countless victories in the past. As an example, Teddy Roosevelt, the leading figure of the Progressive Era, made the simple case for fairness in a *living wage* back in 1912.

Decades of Neoliberalism fed a monopolistic environment that stifled innovation to the point that we’ve now reached widespread decay.

Prioritizing short term profit over longterm sustainability was always going to catch up to us. Now, the wealthy require authoritarianism to keep things going.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
