AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This! But I am not holding my breath.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

It’s been 70 years since Graham Greene’s novel The Quiet American was published.

Greene’s scathing picture of US foreign policy and the men who carry it out enraged American critics, but the history of the last seven decades has vindicated his perspective.

Without Birthright Citizenship, you too could be ripped from your home in the middle of the night.

Without the Equal Protection, the Privilege and Immunities and the Due Process Clauses, you and everyone you love could be declared subhuman and stripped of your most basic and fundamental freedoms.

No, Progressives Don’t Want “Purity.” They Just Want Some Courage.
When left-leaning Democrats complain about corporate influence, it’s not a “purity test.” It’s a demand for a better politics.

Issues like anti-trans panic are not organic red state issues. They are engineered like viruses in a lab of bad faith politics, and the way to deal with bullies using them is to tell them to fuck off.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Hey Bluesky grifters 👋

If I wanted to see what is happening on X or Truth Social, I would have an account there. I am on Bluesky (only) so that I do NOT have to read that far-right shit (or your “liberal outrage” or “smart take”).

Thank you for your attention in this matter!

The price of your labor

Has been devalued

By a social order

That isn't fair

Corporate lobbyists

And money politics

Of both political parties

Are to blame

This is not the first time

American Labor

Has been sold

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Many people called themselves Christian because they attend church. But that’s not how it works. Going to Church doesn’t make you a Christ Follower. It’s the same as living in a garage does not make you a car. Following Matt 25:31-46 does. Taking care of others does.
