That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

On June 5, 1865, Black Union soldiers of the 25th Army Corps arrived in Galveston, spreading the news of freedom to the enslaved. On June 19, Gen. Granger issued Gen. Order 3, enforcing emancipation in Texas. 62 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #HappyJuneteenth #CountdowntoSRD

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

I love this… either you stand for progress or align with the opposition, the center is obliterated. The other side has moved all ready… There is a saying my father used to tell me that’s applicable for Dems… “Le tiras a todo y no le pegas a nada”

Bernie is right. No more playing dead. No more running to the center. Sincerely, Someone who has watched you do this after every election loss the past 50 years.
