Empowering American workers. Making shit in America again. Putting America first in next-generation energy production.
That’s our best defense against China’s aggression — not cartoon strategies from frauds and cowards like Josh Hawley.

Kicking off of the Foreign Affairs committee is a genuine loss. She’s one of the most courageous critics of US foreign policy failures and hypocrisy.

BREAKING: now reports the number of climate activists in Georgia facing bogus "terrorism" charges has risen to 19. A vivid example of state repression to silence legitimate protest.
Upsetting that and remain silent.⤵️

I’m outraged by the lack of humanity shown to Tyre Nichols. Black people losing their lives at the hands of police brutality is unacceptable. Our communities deserve justice, care and safety. #JusticeForTyreNichols

When it becomes clear
that i lack the strength
for what is in front of me,
an honest confession

I followed on a sort of poverty tour from Antioch to Fresno and LA. Everywhere, the stories were the same: living in poverty is exhausting and the safety net is a tricky game in which a misstep can mean homelessness in an instant.

You have to understand that the Freedom Caucus is a whole other party within the Republican Party.
They've found a way to create a multi-party state within the duopoly.

On January 6, 2021, Josh Hawley showed us he’s a fraud and a coward.
Missourians deserve a U.S. Senator who’s willing to stand and fight. That’s why I’ve decided to take him on.

And it's truly EMBARRASSING that moronic, fascist GOP congresspeople have more balls than the Justice Dems who were specifically elected to resist Pelosi and Dem Leadership.

High speed rail would create millions of jobs, boost regional economies, connect displaced communities, & reduce emissions—all while getting you from NYC to Chicago in ~4 hours.
How about we stop giving handouts to big corporations and invest in actual solutions?

"Southwest Airlines made a risky gamble that mass layoffs and spending billions of dollars on handouts to investors rather than fixing infrastructure would pay off with record profits," said one watchdog. "The airline lost that bet badly." commondreams.org/news/southwest

Of course, they never made this argument, because they were invested in claiming RCV is bad based on how RCV does/sposed to work. This was starting a car in 2nd gear, and your backseat driver says ha, I told you, cars don't work!

Chelsea's basic income program was so successful, they're bringing it back in January. They gave one-sixth of the city's population $400/mo between 2020 and 2021 so people wouldn't need to use food banks, and lo and behold, they spent it mostly on food.

White Leftists: Wow. It's like this guy owns our means of communication and livelihood, and he is really capricious in how he uses that power.
Black People: Whatever. This is every day for us living in the US. You are just getting a taste.

The US is complicit in the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet. 11,000 children dead or maimed. 2 million suffering from starvation. We have shown great compassion for Ukrainian suffering. Where’s our compassion for these Yemeni babies?
