Why have so many people fallen behind?
It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.
It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen.
It's time to fix the system.

There are two steps to this:
First, we have to show up and vote like never before so as to make the outcome incontrovertible.
Next, we need to mousetrap the machinations of our Republic in such a way as to prevent this from ever happening again.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza.
The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel.
Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

Childcare in America should be free.
The Free Childcare for America Act would make care free for millions of families, pay family or friends who provide care, ensure childcare workers earn a living wage, and provide $1,000/month for parents who stay home.

The challenges we face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.
We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.
We cannot allow Big Money to dominate our politics and economy.
And we cannot capitulate to the oligarchy.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to:
1) Help get out the vote.
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference.
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism.

Workers’ healthcare costs are expected to rise by 8.2% on average next year. That’s the sharpest increase in over 20 years.
Meanwhile, Medicare for All is supported by 65% of voters — including 71% of independents and 49% of Republicans.
Is it any wonder why?
