Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Canceling clean energy programs means fewer projects, higher costs, and more burden on working families. That’s the wrong direction. Clean energy creates jobs, lowers bills, and builds the infrastructure we need.

When other countries have had mass shootings, they quickly enact policies that prevent unstable, mentally unwell people from getting firearms, especially semi-automatic and automatic weapons that can shoot dozens of rounds per minute. We can do that, if Congress members stop bowing to the NRA.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.

Yes. Reconsider the presidential immunity decision, in light of the evidence of the past six months. This BS cannot be condoned by the Supreme Court. But, they make no indication that they are considering that.

Exactly. The Fundamentalist MAGA Supreme Court justices will go down in history as the worst ever. Unfortunately they will be there for a damn long time (Mitch McConnell proved that our system has holes in it, that norms, tradition, and honor have no teeth) They've supremely abdicated their Oaths!
