$2k/mo, retroactively and for as long as the pandemic lasts, should be seen as a moderate, sane and moral response to a devastating emergency.

Shouldn't we, maybe with the organizing support from @PeoplesParty_US and @UniteThePoor, be calling our representative in the House to demand that they pass a stand-alone, retroactive #SurvivalChecks bill? @SpeakerPelosi is the real obstacle here, and we need to call her out.

That鈥檚 not moderate. Moderate would be like unemployment insurance. $trillions doesn鈥檛 seem like the right answer

If they won鈥檛 give us Medicare for All during a pandemic...it鈥檚 the LEAST they can do
Replying to @marwilliamson
Especially since they like to strip us for parts

I agree...but only to people who need it. Our family was lucky and we didn't lose our jobs, so I can live with not getting it if it would benefit a family that really needs it.
Replying to @marwilliamson
It鈥檚 none of those
Replying to @marwilliamson
It鈥檚 almost like the people in charge don鈥檛 believe it was a real emergency, but a planned strategy for some future social initiative

You would think that the monied interests want to reduce the working class to Dickensian desperation, where they accept what little employers would offer, and return to sweatshop conditions - then we would have a workforce to take on India on price alone!

Yes absolutely
