I appreciate the article, but this fight won't be won in DC. If Trump shut down the government and it did not come back ... people need to hit the streets Johns Hopkins just let go 2,000 cancer researchers this week. The govenment shutdown is now happening with much less guardrails given this bill - ThreadSky

People need to hit the streets either way! As I said before, it's a lose-lose. Which is worse remains to be seen, but at least with government still "open" you have the courts and some guardrails. With it shut down, we've got nothing.

The news about John Hopkins is devastating. All of this so they can get tea party members cover to vote for a 5T gift to the 1%. It’s sickening.

This is all just nauseating and surreal. I'm so angry not necessarily at the three branches, but more at the intellectually lazy Americans in this country.
I'm sick of, "this isn't what we voted for."
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT "YOU" VOTED FOR!! What in the world did you expect?!?!

The conversations I had with fellow trade workers were HORRIFYING.
I’m talking 2 generation Hispanic workers who were going to vote Republican. I talked until I was blue in the face (pun intended).
Unchecked immigration is destroying the trades for documented workers. Dems own a big big part of it

There has been wage stagnation for almost 2 decades in large part to a bottomless pit of undocumented workforce that keeps wages low through labor saturation. BC workers while benefit from some aspects of UD workers pay a disproportionate price compared to other Americans who are only the consumers

Our parties messaging and quite frankly their utter denial of the real costs most blue collar workers were paying for this flood of UD labor (because overall it helps keep inflation lower) drove BC votes out of our party in record #’s

Can you share the source of this information? Effects of UD labor (not illegal labor) on workforce, wages, real costs for BC workers over everyone else. I'm always trying to learn the real issues and I can't find info that matches what you're saying. Thx!!!
