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.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just drew a line in the sand...refusing to let Trump’s troops or ICE turn his city into a staging ground. That’s not politics...that’s spine. Fire...fight...and the kind of defiance America needs right now.🔥

People keep saying maga vote against their own interests, but i don’t think they do. I think like from a critical race theory perspective, whiteness is capital, so voting in alignment with white supremacy is a capital gain for magats.
