Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

The terror spreading across the country this a.m. because in some more progressive corners of the US progressives won elections is telling. The reason the reaction is so over-large is because progressives unlike centrists and the right, are the only group who pose a real threat to established power.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

There should be a law: when an elected official announces a change of party, there should immediately be a new election. And while I'm at it, we should have a mechanism to remove via a no confidence vote any elected official in whom the electorate has lost faith.

Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

Now would an excellent time for military leaders that actually stand for the constitution to make their voices heard.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power. They would defend the constitution and protect the people. The American people are not safe. The constitution is under attack. Remove him.

Guess what, it’s past time for the military to step in and shut this shit down for good. But so far they aren’t obeying their sworn oaths. Are they seeing what’s happening? americans do not have congressional representation or military or LE protection. We are on our own.

And here I thought Republicans believed in small govt, low taxes and freedom. They only believe in power and hate. Not to mention they tell us any raising of taxes on the rich will result in them just moving. Also Trump's a rapist, a pedophile, and so much more.

Dear US Military - It is beyond clear that this president and many in the administration are actively acting against their paths to the Constitution and the interests of our nation. It is time for an intervention. Please. We need some breathing room.

Very, very telling.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

The problem with American politics on both sides right now is this: Politicians are more concerned about how their MESSAGE is being RECEIVED than they are in their POLICIES being EFFECTIVE.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Good, decent people love all humankind. It's called "grace" and believe it or not, it resides within all humankind. Hatred, racism, and bigotry is something that is learned. The question y'all have to ask yourself is who taught it to you? 2/2

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man. They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence. Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice. Enough.

Democrats cannot continue business as usual, as this authoritarian president and his administration kidnap and disappear people, cut off food benefits, and rip health care away from millions. We need a new playbook to fight back and win.

The best defence is a good offence. If Trump wants to play regime change games then other countries should participate. Mexico, Canada, and Denmark must push their intelligence agencies to undermine Trump, disrupt its crypto money laundering flow, release blackmail, and overthrow it.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

senators should be required to do in-district town halls twice a month and then small round tables selected by lottery with interested constituents the other two weeks. in contact with normal people at least once a week. maybe more.

I love this dog.

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections. He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

Three types of people Pedo-Trump attracts…the greedy, the racists, and morons looking for a daddy.

Democrats seem to think the pivoting to the center makes them most electable but all it does it piss *everyone* off. Having beliefs/a backbone and being authentic is the best way to win elections. People are fucking sick of croneyism and corporate suck ups and that is why Zohran cruised to victory

SEATTLE: If you know someone who lives in Seattle and guess they probably voted for Katie Wilson for Mayor, your contribution to this fight is to text them this information about making sure they voted with their signature on the envelope! TEXT them NOW.

this is literally never not accurate

How can we make THIS happen? Red states won’t comply👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

To all those who think Zohran Mamdani will force NYC to be Muslim: A Muslim has never knocked on my door trying to convince me to convert… Just saying.

💯

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

Things to do in the future: 1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague 2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again 3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

The chances of us even having another election, or an election where they honor the true results, appear to be dwindling by the day.

Spot on.
