FDR didn’t just pull us out of the Depression. He fundamentally altered economic/banking/political rules so it wouldn’t happen again. Several decades ago we started dismantling some of the very protections that FDR created, so crony capitalists could party more. And here we are.

FDR's policies worsened and lengthened the great depression. Learn your history.

Can someone please explain the difference between @realDonaldTrump packing thousands of people into Airports & @JoeBiden urging thousands of people to pack into the Polls during this pandemic? Both those “Avoidable” situations are guaranteed to spread the deadly #CoronaVirus.

It’s a time in history where we must actively break up with the paradigms that keep us stagnant and unequal, and to create rapid progress to care for everyone this time around so we aren’t extinct or doomed to repeat history again.
