A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Been thinking a lot about the likelihood that large swaths of lower and middle class folks will be unable to make rent and mortgage payments due to the destabilizing actions of the current regime. We need to advocate for rent and mortgage forgiveness now.

Target could not have been more foolish capitulating on DEI when they didn't have to. They were the cool bargain store where broke people including a lot of people of color went to have stylish things & made a big show of selling products by diverse creators.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.
