Ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have. — James Baldwin

I'll say it again. People want their elected leaders to lower the cost of housing. Ban digital price fixing. Build more affordable housing. Help first-time homebuyers. Go after greedy corporations illegally raising rent. I have bills to get these things done. Let's pass them.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

This is dark

That he would want to make the country more like Florida indicates a complete lack of empathy for Americans. Along with stats cited by Dr Krugman, housing (and especially home insurance) are horrifically expensive, infrastructure has not kept up with population, and education is poor.

This!

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

On point

3 years ago today SCOTUS overturned Roe. They took away a right that gave women autonomy and spared millions of children from being born into trauma, neglect, or systems that fail them. This was never about protecting life. It was about power. I stand in solidarity with all women. ✊

Self-Inflicted Harm...

The arrestees should be the masked criminals who are beating on the victim. Defund ICE now.

True statement.

He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.

Wealthy people like us need to pay more in taxes, not less. Tax cuts for those who have too much at the expense of working people is a gross abuse of our tax code.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

Now July 4th.... that makes sense. A logical day for "No Kings" events.

I have obtained new nonpublic data from ICE that shows that 2/3 of the people it had booked into detention facilities this fiscal year had no criminal convictions at all. Less than 7% have violent convictions. Most convictions were for immigration, traffic, and vice offenses.

Rick Scott stole a lot of money from Florida's Medicaid, and everyone knows it, just like DJT's life of predatory crimes was known. Scott wants Medicaid cut now. If Rick Scott isn't going to leave Congress and spend the rest of his life in jail, he should at least have to hide in a basement.

I looked this up, and yes, it is real. I've included an article about it in the comments. Please share for those who may need it. Thank you!

For being a Democrat. They are targeting Democrats.

Not a live link but sure you can google it!

He's exactly right!

Do the Democratic legislators realize... F47's immunity is not absolute? There are conditions. Most of his crimes are outside the shield of his immunity!!

Gives them time to clean up and hide things.
