California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Form a Union | AFL-CIO

Something is wrong with a system where 75% of workers say they’re worried about making ends meet, while greedy corporate CEOs make 285x what their median worker makes.

Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we fight back and WIN!

Student debt erased if you join ICE? And a bonus?

So others actually doing good,like teachers,doctors,paramedics and first responders....

They get no student loan relief.

But fat masked thugs who may have been sitting around unemployed are forgiven of their debt.

Yea,that sounds like the GOP.

ICE recruiting tweets from Homeland Security this summer:

Inside the schools turning into food banks to stave off holiday hunger β€œSomething has to change, because mums are actually going hungry because they're making sure their babies are eating."

In a rich country schools function as food banks.

Two-thirds (67%) of teachers in England expect children in their class to go hungry over summer holidays,

675,000 school-aged children in England might go hungry.

1% have more wealth than 70% of population combined.

Poverty is a political choice
