Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have β€œthe worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Chief Day addressed misconceptions surrounding recent news, stressing that the situation involves one city block out of Portland’s 145 square miles. He noted that short video clips, sometimes from months or even years ago, don’t reflect what is actually happening today.

Yup. There will def be agent provocateurs. Don't pick up the bricks, folks.

Also, PPB has said ICE thugs in uniforms have been the ones instigating this whole time. They want to stoke any activity they can false label as an "insurrection". We can't play into their hand.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

β€œI’ll get up and come to work and do my best for America, until they tell me I can’t.”

The Trump admin must avoid a government shutdown. Workers’ livelihoods are on the line.
