I said it 30 years ago and I'll say it again today: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of working people.
My Shutdown Message
My message today is the same as it was nearly 30 years ago when Newt Gingrich shut down the government: you cannot balance the budget on the backs of vulnerable and working people.

Our #socialsecurityadministration has been around since 1934. That’s 90+ years!
But it’s in need of reform, like many of our country’s other government-led agencies. Why?
For one, our benefits in comparison to other countries are lower. Below average to be specific.

So patronizing when the dentist patiently explains how to floss. I'm not a baby who doesn't know how to do basic things. I'm a baby who doesn't wanna

The term “universal” when paired with “healthcare” can sound too big, too impersonal, too much to tackle… but that’s not what it is OR what we’re demanding while on strike.
It means ALL Americans receive health care. Access to health services that are equitable and fair is a HUMAN RIGHT.

I'm holding space for #nerdclusters today. I do believe they will be integral to the revolution. At least for me, they're one of life's best little joys. You can not convince me there's a better candy on the market. I love them so much 😭😭

We’re building the networks, the resources, the connections, alongside over 12,000 coalition members. We need your insights & help to get the word out about this movement. When we’ve met our first goal (Phase 1), we craft specific demands. When we hit 11 million, we strike. #uspolitics #strike

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
