Republican trickle down economics took us from a one salary household to a two salary household. Soon, all of our children will have to work so we can afford food.

In the fight against authoritarianism, there is no stronger weapon than mass noncooperation: strikes, boycotts, etc.

Protests and direct action is important, but mostly as methods of convincing large numbers of people to not comply. We can stop the regime if we refuse to cooperate with them.

The US invasion of Iraq began on this day 22 years ago.

In the years since, the United States spent roughly $10 trillion on the so-called "war on terror."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, housing, and education?

Now that @schumer.senate.gov has more free time on his hands from his “rescheduled” (and ill-advised) book tour…

Maybe he can *finally* hold a town hall - we’ve only been asking since 2017 (we got close but then he stood us up in 2018 👇👇👇)

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families.

Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.
Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Americans don’t agree on much, but nine in 10 endorse childhood vaccines, Caitlin Rivers writes. Emphasizing the popularity of the shots is not just about correcting the record — it’s key to protecting them.
