Boston Mayor Supports UBI and Wants More Than Just Another PilotBoston Mayor Michelle Wu says she backs the concept of universal basic income. What she doesn’t want is another limited pilot like the ones that have spread across the country. https://t.co/KFxMLeTjhM
You just watched every permutation of Republican obstruction: first, invoking the 2-hour rule; second, trying to deny a quorum; third, interrupting the vote with points of order; fourth, a general walk-out.
.@POTUS is getting hostages released. Biden is getting aid into Gaza. Biden is getting some days of peace. Xi isn't doing that. Putin isn't. MBS isn't. Of course, Biden & team should do more on all fronts, including the long game of a 2 state solution. But give credit where credit is due.
"Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (@wutrain) says she backs the concept of universal basic income. What she doesn’t want is another limited pilot… 'We know it works', she said, but she added that the time for experimenting is over."
Yep. We need to just do it.

My mom dropped out of high school in St Louis at 16 to help put food on the table with an alcoholic single mom. Moved on her own to California and got a job as an AT&T telephone operator. (RBI: her first manager was Rep. Maxine Waters).
Got her GED at 23.
She often worked nights because it paid a little more. My parents took shifts. She was pro-union and stood up.
My dad owned a gas station and got a degree at night. Moms pension still matters for them in their 1,100 sq ft house.
Now I get to hang with some of the most amazing people in the world .. including car company execs AND the folks I met on the @UAW picket lines in Detroit. Proud to know both. Many came from the same beginnings.
Respect to all working class folks everywhere. That’s where it starts.
Ring-wing, left-wing is, frankly, bullshit. Let’s be America-wing.
