Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Omg. Disgraceful.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Governor JB Pritzker just sounded the alarm bells about Trump’s plan to steal the midterms and maybe even CANCEL them:

“He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. That's what I believe this is about. It isn't about fighting crime.”

For anyone feeling helpless with all that is happening, please remember: Every authoritarian regime that rose to power by silencing dissent, banning truth, controlling the population through fear and violence has either collapsed, been overthrown or imploded under its own corruption or paranoia.

If ANY other president had been caught DMing directives for the Attorney General to indict his political enemies it would have been game over.
Impeached. Removed.

But not Trump.
With Donald Trump, it’s just another fucking day ending in Y.

May peace and kindness prevail in the United States and in the world.
