Fight for democracy. Fight oligarchy. Freedom and justice are precious, fight for them. Take care of each other with kindness. It’s a mess right now, let’s clean it up. Vote. Participate. Never give up, that’s how they win.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 24%. Millions live paycheck to paycheck as they struggle to afford basic goods. Is it any wonder why 70% of people said they believe the American dream no longer holds true or never did? www.wsj.com/economy/wsj-...

You don’t find “common ground” with fascists. You build power to defeat them. This is the main reason why I believe fascism at the Federal level in the US will last generations.
