The GOP just passed a bill that’s a direct attack on working families. It’s the largest wealth transfer to the ultra-rich in U.S. history, and it’s only the beginning. We can’t let this slide. We must fight back, organize, and demand a system that works for all of us.

So much for their pronatalism. Maybe they only want more White US babies.

Yes, the shutdown will be a disaster. So fight the disaster. Fight hard. Don’t just give in to a “lesser evil.” It’s still evil. It still deserves a hard “no.”
