Truth.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

Essential reading.
“…presidents didn’t have the last word; citizen movements brought the United States back from the precipice by appealing to a democratic understanding of the Constitution.”
This book shows how ordinary citizens fought back against presidential abuses of power.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day."
When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

A tough four years. But, giving up is not an option.
Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

Remember when Republicans lost their shit about Hillary Clinton's private email server? Now, the transition team for Trump 2.0 are eschewing government devices, email addresses and cybersecurity support. Best way to expose government data to our friends, China, Iran, North Korea.
So it begins.
So it begins.
