In the words of the inimitable @ninaturner, HELLO!
Don't tell us we can't afford universal health care when we've thrown $7,000,000,000,000 to defense contractors since 2001.

.@Sen_JoeManchin and @SenatorSinema - what a legacy of shame.
Payments from the expanded child tax credit were reducing child hunger and poverty.
But since Congress failed to renew it, families who need the money the most are already falling back into poverty. n.pr/3DSOGy6

Fabulous endorsement.
.@EricaForUS is a mother, minister, educator, and experienced legislator. Her plan for a Rural New Deal will lift up family farms, raise the minimum wage, unionize the South, and deliver universal broadband and health care. I’m glad to endorse her for Congress in #NC01.

All they had to do was help people. Their problem isn’t with messaging, it’s with policies.
NEW: Congressional Democrats had a 12-point generic ballot lead over the GOP in December among recipients of the expanded child tax credit.
That benefit has dried up, and now congressional Republicans have the advantage with this group of voters.

From Christian Smalls and the successful unionization drive at Amazon to the confirmation of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in the last week we saw chinks in the armor of an entrenched status quo. Good to celebrate. What we appreciate appreciates.

The Democratic Party suppresses its progressive wing, and the Republican Party suppress votes period.

No not at all. The majority didn't wake up one day and say "let's end slavery," "let's give women suffrage," or "let's desegregate the South." But a *critical mass* did - supposedly around 11% of a system- and that was enough to start the change in social consciousness.
