"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.ย 
ย 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
ย 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

โ€”Harry Truman, 1952

Frankly, I didn't put 30% of my gross income into Federal,, State, Local taxes, health insurance and Social Security throughout my working life only to have it re-allocated into the profits of oligarchs. We see you and what you've become GOP... looking forward to some change in 2026 and 2028! ๐Ÿ—ฝ

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Itโ€™s been nothing short of a disaster.

The Republicans tax bill is here.

It does NOT ban taxing tips.
It does NOT ban taxing overtime.
It does NOT ban taxing Social Security.

Trump LIED to you โ€” yโ€™all got PLAYED.

Good night ๐Ÿ˜ด

War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%

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.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Letโ€™s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

We need to cap campaign donations at $20,000.00 per person or organization,& get rid of superpacks! This way billioners can't buy elections!

I think it's pretty apparent that of all Trump's hires, the only one who was competent was Stormy Daniels

Trump vowed to end surprise medical bills. The team working on that just got slashed Trump's first round of staff cuts to federal agencies eliminated dozens of positions at the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, in charge of implementing the No Surprises Act.

As a candidate, Trump promised to end surprise medical billing.ย ย 

Just weeks into his second term, DOGE has slashed the federal office charged with implementing a bipartisan law cracking down on surprise medical bills.

Yet another Trump lie.
