No cherry-picking. No party filter. Just receipts.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

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

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

This is the clickbait Faux News article, that led me to the referenced research which I posted about earlier. Worth a moment, but not nearly as interesting and informative as the Univ of Minn site itself.

University of Minnesota site warns of a 'whiteness pandemic,' urges White parents to 're-educate'
Minnesota university's "Culture and Family Lab" warns of "whiteness pandemic" driven by colorblindness and provides detailed antiracist parenting guidance.

White Americans should celebrate and uplift this work, and take it to heart in their own life. Changing white culture in America will change the world forever, for the better. I can think of no greater gift a small group of people could offer the world. #endracism

With all due respect, this is a country founded on genocide and slavery.

Where witches were burnt, and lynchings by the thousands.

Trail of Tears. Tulsa Massacre. Chinese Exclusion Act. The internment of Japanese. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Tuskegee Study.

I could go on, but why?

They know tariffs led to the Great Depression.

That's EXACTLY what they want to happen again.

Oligarchs bought up
America at pennies on the dollar during the Depression.

The lesson the rich took away from the Depression is they get bargains, not that the poor and vulnerable suffered.

#tariffs
Warner on Fox News Sunday on Navarro's case for tariffs: "He's talking about tariffs in the first Trump administration. He should've looked a little more at history. I think they were called the Smoot-Hawley tariffs in the 1920s. That policy led to the Depression."
