Private companies should not own public utilities. No one should make a profit on things a community needs in order to thrive.
Our forty year orgy of privatization must give way to an appropriate balance between individual economic interests and a concern for the common good.
Pennsylvania passed a law incentivizing private companies to buy publicly-owned water systems.
Now residents are seeing their water bills skyrocket.
One local official put it bluntly during a hearing today: "People should see privatization for what it really is — a scam."
UAW President Shawn Fain has been talking to non-union autoworkers across the country.
Toyota workers told him that instead of paying them well the company set up a food bank.
It's time to unionize the whole auto industry.
Everyone benefits from a more educated population; the more highly educated people are, the more money they tend to make so more taxes they pay and more they are able to buy.
The college loan debt should be forgiven completely because it should never have existed. It's the product of a predatory, economically unholy alliance of government/lenders/banks that thwarts the dreams of our young, setting people up for misery who should be entering the most creative and joy filled time of their lives. The system is immoral, unjust, and it's got to go. #CancelStudentDebt

Americans are in a trance from which for the sake of our future we had best awaken. 4/4
What is disturbing now is how the most egregious behavior has been normalized and how complacent so many have become in the face of it. People have been worn down, conscience numbed, our sense of moral outrage diminished. 3/4
When and where we weren’t (racial injustice, Vietnam etc), there was a sense of healthy shame among enough of us that at least you could feel it. And it turned into political force (civil rights movement, anti-war movement, etc.) 2/4
We shouldn’t romanticize or whitewash any aspect of American history, but I can tell you that when I was growing up there was a sense that America was *supposed* to be good. 1/4
