It is the working class of America that makes this country move.
Not Wall Street stockbrokers.
Not real estate speculators.
Not hedge fund managers.
Not billionaires.
Not CEOs taking exorbitant compensation packages while cutting the benefits of workers.
Workers have the power.

Union miners in Alabama have been on strike for 187 days and counting.
We haven’t forgotten and neither should you.

One of the most beautiful things to see in this country right now is that when workers go on strike millions of people automatically stand with them. Like people just know not to cross a picket line and to boycott products in solidarity with the workers.

"The economy would collapse if we cancelled student debt!”
No one has been forced to pay student loans for almost two years and the economy hasn’t collapsed.

We're still collecting signatures from non-member allies for our petition.
Will you tell the studios to provide film and tv crews with basic human necessities like reasonable rest, meal breaks, sustainable benefits, and livable wages? #IASolidarity actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

The time is now. Do we do what the American people want? Do we fulfill what democracy is supposed to be about? Or does Congress, yet again, bow down to powerful special interests?
That's what this struggle is about.

The U.S. Government is not serving its people. Now is the time for change.
We’ve waited, we’ve asked, but now it’s time to demand. @LaborMovementX

Average US tax rate: 13.3%
Average tax rate for 400 richest US families: 8.2%
This is what a rigged system looks like.

When Wall Street, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Weapons Manufacturers, the billionaire class, and every other giant corporation spend billions to control both political parties the people & the planet lose every election. This is the inconvenient truth of living in a corporate oligarchy.

In America, elderly people should not be walking around without teeth in their mouth and not be able to afford to go to a dentist.

Kyrsten Sinema has received over $750,000 from Big Pharma. Her office is led by a former lobbyist whose firm worked on behalf of pharmaceutical companies.
And now she's trying to tank a bill to lower drug prices.
This is the power of big money, folks.

BREAKING: 142 Dems just voted to cut the Pentagon budget by $24 billion.
The amendment lost, but it's *monumental* that more Dems voted for it than against. The tides are turning.
We lost this vote, but the days of unchecked military spending are numbered.

I am a little tired of a system which allows 39 profitable Fortune 500 companies to pay ZERO income taxes from 2018 until 2020. We're going to put an end to that absurdity. We're going to make them pay their fair share.

So Medicare for All is "radical" but politicians who take bundles of Big Pharma cash and sabotage drug pricing reforms are "centrists"? Do we have that right?
