From the song, we can infer that Funkytown is in a country with socialized healthcare.
Bitter facts: The rules they broke are for us, not for them. We need to build power to turn them into rules for everyone.
Don't let the Dems co-opt your anger. This isn't about the day Congress is full of AOC's. It's about the day even Ted Cruzes are afraid to cross us.
Educate. Agitate. Organize!

I'm a Starbucks barista. I'm striking because I want 'the best job in retail.'
Baristas want Starbucks to succeed. We take pride in the green aprons and in our customers who return each morning.

In my Frankenstein movie, somebody will call the monster Frankenstein. Then, when you call the monster Frankenstein, and some nerd tells you you're wrong, you can just say you're referencing my continuity.

Veteran's Day vs. Armistice Day:
One is about the people who fought in wars. The other is about them, civilians who were killed, injured, subjected to deprivation, infrastructure that was destroyed, land that was rendered a forever warzone... and the end of all of that.

They sold us out to the Republicans because they're anticipating jobs on K Street.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

They couldn’t let us bask in the joy of victory for even 1 week.
All they gave us was 5 days. Couldn’t even get us to a week of being hopeful. All that goodwill and joy and happiness that maybe the Democratic Party really can do something right, all of it tossed in the trash pile. Sigh…

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I love this expectation that politicians lie to voters, but actually intend to do the bidding of the investor class.

Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."
