Now that Trump has passed a bill that provides massive tax cuts for the upper end of income distribution, while cutting critical services that help the poor, I hope everyone understands that local efforts directed at the same is basically a statement that the Trump don’t go far enough.

Controversial opinion maybe but I don’t actually mind if progressives run on promises they maybe can’t achieve. As long as they’ve got a plan to try, I’d rather have that than them limit themselves to only extremely achievable goals! Dream big! Try something new!

Especially since they also hold marginalized identities/will be targeted not far down the line

If corporations can afford to spend HUNDREDS of millions every year on "union avoidance consultants," then they could afford to just pay their workers more.
It's not just about the money. It's about stopping workers from building power.
