Voting for Judge Susan Crawford TODAY means you’ll both help elect a fair, common-sense justice to the Court AND defeat Musk’s eight-figure investment in Brad Schimel AND avoid lines on April 1.

Like this post if you would like a party that stood for dissolving the electoral college, rank choice voting, ending the war in Ukraine & the genocide in Gaza. Properly tax the 1% to pay for UBI, free community college, Universal Healthcare & fixing the climate crisis before the world falls apart.

Thank god Dems didn't give up that valuable weapon, the filibuster! How would they oppose this administration without it?

Call your senators and let them know if they join Schumer here you will never give them another dime or another vote and you’ll devote your time and money to anyone who primaries them.
If the Senate Democrats do this, yes, it’s a massive betrayal of their base and an unconscionable abdication of their duty.

Every single one of them who’s complicit in this scheme needs to be driven out of politics forever.
The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

This will be a VERY LONG and ongoing thread focused entirely on empirical evidence. 🧵

A next-gen Bernie needs to run hard on economic populism. Universal basic income, universal healthcare, universal college, universal school meals, really lean into universalism in general and taxing the rich. Fuck the billionaires and big corporations. Make them pay for all the universal programs.

Did you know that using the word “tramp” as a derogatory term for women originated from the early 70s when it was trendy to hire a prostitute to just do backflips on her stomach?

In the book, Bullshit Jobs, David Graeber gives an interesting explanation of the difference in politics between those on the Left and those on the Right.

To me, this is exactly the wrong conclusion to draw IF you're interested in helping people. If you're only interested in winning elections then it's probably correct. But then they have to ask themselves is, why are they trying to win elections?
First quote in this new @politico.com story is from RI's Dem committeeman Joe Paolino: "The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle” www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

I genuinely think if Democrats make UBI or just check giving every few months that wins over enough people. Remember it's not whether or not you have enough money or if you paycheck is good. It's how you feel, it's vibes.
