Trump acting like an excited kindergartner putting on a golden medal for a made up "peace prize". It would be funny if it weren't for how many lives have been harmed by his policies. Impeach Trump and remove him from office. apnews.com/article/trum...

Workplace safety is being defunded. This is a natural consequence of abandoning public health early in the Covid pandemic. If gov has no responsibility to act against a deadly virus, what else? We have to look out for each other and demand safety and health for all.

The midterms are a year away. There's no reason for Mamdani to come out in support of Jeffries now.
Working within the Dems is not viable for long-term systemic change. The Dem Party exists to co-opt energy and prevent formation of an independent left party. We need to stop falling for it.

We have to be our own heroes. This is why we need to build an independent working-class political movement and party. We must organize for real accountability and change.

There is no ceasefire - Israel continues with genocide. Israeli whistleblowers are sounding alarms about the truth. The US must stop arming genocide, arms embargo now.

Remember that all Democrats, including Bernie, helped get us to this point in the first place. We shouldn't expect those that led us into this situation to fix it -- we need an independent working-class leaders and our own party to organize for change.

Democrats and Republicans arguing about subsidies misses the larger point that private for-profit health insurance will always look for ways to deny healthcare to make more profits.
We must defend healthcare as a human right with a public National Health Service built on Medicare for All.

Neoliberalism is a totalitarian politics designed to produce hopelessness and make any other form of politics and society seem impossible. Our political goals include supporting human creativity, imagination, optimism, that yes we can build a new ecosocialist type of society.

Abortion rights fully funded under a National Health System. Medicare for All isn't even enough anymore.

Dems gave up all leverage for a "promise" of a vote on health insurance subsidies -- and now Republicans are demanding abortion bans in return for subsidies.

The Onion's got it right. Democrats don't actually care about your health. The ACA has never been enough and even then, Dems didn't bother to defend it.
Medicare for All toward a National Health Service NOW! Let's build an independent party to challenge both Republicans & Dems.

This is the Trump-Johnson shutdown. Republicans do not want people to have food or healthcare as costs keep rising due to their own policies that put billionaires first. Trump makes it clear by fighting in court to STOP food stamp payments.

Trump & Republicans' priority is a $300M ballroom for themselves as Americans face poverty, hunger, & skyrocketing healthcare costs. They've got billions of $$ to go to fund ICE concentration camps, to fund Argentina bailout, to Israel to fund genocide in Gaza.

Public housing is the solution to the affordability crisis -- and a public housing program will be a jobs program, a desegregation program, and a clean energy program as well as an affordable housing program. greensocialist.net/public-housi...

No more for-profit death panel insurance system where greedy executives decide who gets treatment. Way past time for a single-payer system, toward a non-profit national health service, to defend healthcare as a human right for all. greensocialist.net/medicare-for...

Mike Johnson & Republicans are letting 42 million Americans face hunger from SNAP funding delays, in addition to other services being shutdown and looming health insurance premiums skyrocketing -- all to seemingly prevent Epstein files from being released.

A 1945 US Army "fact sheet" helped soldiers understand & talk about fascism. The 3 common attitudes/signs of fascism from sheet:
1. hate campaigns against racial/ethnic/religious groups
2. ultranationalist animosity toward other nations, calling peace "weak"
3. anti-communism

We can & must ditch the fossil fuel economy. Our health, our planet, and our ultimate survival as a species depend on it. A Green New Deal can support a rapid transition to a renewable energy, green economy so no one is left behind.

It is good more Americans are recognizing the GOP is supporting military occupation of US cities. Keep up the pressure on Congress to resist Trump and end military occupation. Congress should impeach & remove Trump from office for his continual attacks on Constitutional rights.

Watch what billionaires & politicians do, not what they say. While making it harder to access vaccines for the general public & telling people to "suck it up", Trump is getting vaccines for COVID.
Despite what they say in public, the ruling class knows COVID is still serious.

We could have ended homelessness in the US for good, but instead Trump is using those funds to arm Israel for genocide and bail out billionaires in Argentina.

Even the Dems that voted for the war powers resolution are not *actually* against Trump's illegal military strikes, they just want to co-sign & pretend like they're opposing him first. This is why we need an independent political movement to oppose both parties.

Fetterman has yet again sided with Republicans, this time to defend Trump's illegal military action. The fact the Democratic Party still supports him but goes hard after democratic socialists like Mamdani tells you everything you need to know about the party.
