Faiz Shakir: There can be more taxes on the rich. We have a society that has worked extraordinarily well for wealthy people and not so great for the bottom 60%. The billionaire class has hated Mamdani - Trump's instincts are better, he knows Zohran is looking out for working people.

President Piggy This is what consequence-free misogyny looks like.

On Pod Save America, Faiz Shakir described America as being in a state of moral decay. When the President calls one reporter "Piggy" and his press secretary answers, "Your Mom," to another reporter, you know we're there.

REPORT: Billionaires and corporations donate to Trump's inauguration fund and the White House ballroom.

Then, Trump makes the government work for them.

We spoke with More Perfect Union founder and Bernie advisor Faiz Shakir With punchy videos about corporate malfeasance, unaccountable billionaires and tech companies that act with impunity, this company has carved out a niche doing what mainstream media won't

"The impact for me right now is documenting the struggle for local communities over oligarchy. These economic justice issues actually are gaining sway with conservatives"

This is the best conversation I’ve heard in so long. @faiz.bsky.social is so smart. The pyramid is a great reframe AND his example of a candidate getting any voter USA to agree with them by addressing exploitation of working class = πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Arizona billboards call out federal cuts to Saguaro National Park The group More Perfect Union installed more than 300 signs across the country, calling out the Department of Government Efficiency for federal cuts to the National Park Service.

"It doesn't matter if you're really wealthy. It doesn't matter if you're middle class. It doesn't matter if you're living in poverty, you generally should be able to go to a National Park and have the same experience…" @faiz.bsky.social

We followed up with the lists to ask they: 1) contact their rep and seek a townhall meeting, 2) ask their rep to say no to Medicaid cuts and tax cuts for the rich.

Also engaging lists on current state legislative fights around collective bargaining, repro rights and other issues. /5

Faiz Shakir: If you look at the stats in California, in the Central Valley, there are a couple thousand people who are working at Tesla, owned by the richest person in the world on Medicaid. And these are the people who they want to cut health care from.
