🦺 Big feels from yesterday’s protest. When neighbors show up for each other, it’s a reminder that community care beats the status quo every time. Traffic deaths are a policy choice. A better Indianapolis is possible. 📸: shout out to @clifmars.com for capturing the 1st pic

Drug companies have hired over 500 lobbyists this year to gut the Inflation Reduction Act's drug price negotiation provisions.
They outnumber public interest advocates more than 20 to 1.
We must get money out of politics and end Big Pharma's deadly greed once and for all.

Trump's DOT — which is stacked with corporate insiders — is gutting safety rules at Big Business' behest.
Deregulation is another form of trickle-down economics, where the financial gains go to the top, and nothing trickles down except risks and losses.

This is because our country has spent the last 100 years designing all of our infrastructure around cars. Some of the most expensive and desirable areas in any state are the dense, walkable areas. But people can't afford to live there.
Right, this is true, but the OVERWHELMING evidence of the past 100 years of American life is that vastly more people want space and a car than a smaller unit and a car-free lifestyle. This is mostly why the suburban share of US population has grown relentlessly for the entire 20th and 21st century
Some people put a premium on space in my experience, others put a premium on not having to have a car and not being isolated out in the suburbs

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
