Facts and nuance. We need to shame these right wing weirdos who hate the working class & the disenfranchised. Why? Because we’re damn Americans with sensibilities! There’s no future without progress.

Khanna: You know, someone said to me, “Well, this backbencher from the House is calling for Schumer to step down.”
I said, “The point is the backbenchers need to come to the front.” Those of us in the back — we need to move to the front. And a new generation of leadership needs to emerge.”

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Corporations can’t keep asking for tax breaks, deregulation, and government protection while offering workers poverty wages, no benefits, and disposable jobs in return. If they expect public support, they owe the public real investment — fair pay, job stability, and respect for labor. #progessive

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.
DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.
Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.
