It should cost less to start/have a family, giving birth should not come with debt. Think about it, working class Americans are hit with a huge bill when they have kids. Other countries don’t allow this to happen to their people.

I had the opportunity to talk about the history of Juneteenth today at the South Euclid-Lydhurst Public Library in South Euclid. It’s on us to carry forward the baton we were passed.

Juneteenth is recognized as a national holiday today because of the relentless work of this woman: Mother Opal Lee. We must honor her today and uplift her legacy moving forward.

No matter what happens, hopefully Americans are taking note that when we say “we don’t want war,” the majority of our elected officials responded by saying “too bad, we do.”

Senator Lindsay Graham says to not look at polls showing that Americans don’t want war with Iran, that we’re not the ones going. Well Senator, you’re not going, either. Believe it or not, we don’t want troops to die because you want a war.

Healthcare, not bombs. Childcare, not bombs. Housing, not bombs. College, not bombs. Reparations, not bombs. We can have better. We need better.

What stock trades did members of Congress make right before Israel struck Iran? The American people deserve to know. Currently, members of Congress are allowed to trade stocks. In times of war, weapons stocks rise. Are our officials profiting off of this escalation?

Those cheering for war aren’t the ones who will be sent to fight in it. Remember that.

Line in the sand time for Congress: are you willing to send working class Americans to die in a foreign war in the Middle East? If you do so, it will be a blemish on your record 100 times worse than the Iraq War. Protect our troops. Support our troops. Do not send them to war.

I agree with @ninaturner.bsky.social - the time is now. When people wonder how the current administration and right has attracted so many Americans who are suffering… it’s because they are AND they believe(d) MAGA was going to uplift them. (And they bought into the fear/tropes) /1

Fathers deserve to work fewer hours, make more money, and spend more time with their families. Every working class person deserves this.

As we approach the week leading up to Juneteenth, it’s important to recognize the flag and symbols around the day, as well as taking the opportunity to renew the call for lineage-based reparations for not only chattel slavery, but the harms inflicted upon Black Americans post-emancipation.

Supporting the troops in practice looks like not sending them off to war and ensuring veterans are taken care of. Today’s parade is a waste of taxpayer money.

“America First” in practice should look like ensuring every American has healthcare, debt-free college, universal childcare, housing, and food. These types of things would make America great. Cutting Medicaid, SNAP, and pushing war do not make us great.

Reminder: Benjamin Netanyahu has an active international arrest warrant for war crimes and our weak, spineless elected officials keep sending him and Israel bombs. Arrest him and hold him accountable for his crimes and enforce an arms embargo.

The best way to honor the troops would be to keep the U.S. out of wars, strengthening the VA, and ending homelessness, not a taxpayer-funded authoritarian-style parade through Washington D.C. It’s a waste of money, especially when Congress is cutting Medicaid and SNAP.

Corporations have bought our politicians, so these companies and their CEOs need to be speaking out about government overreach. Do not bend to bigotry and fascism. You run on OUR money. Don’t forget. Ask Target how it’s working out.
