We just blocked one of DC’s major intersections for 3 hours calling out Congress’ hypocrisy.

“How do we pay for it?” seems to only apply for life affirming programs, yet not war and destruction. #DeadlineForDemocracy #CutThePentagon

We must stand up to the drug companies and stop this massive hike in Medicare premiums.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

No. We cannot allow Medicare to increase premiums on 57 million senior citizens because Biogen wants to charge $56,000 for an Alzheimer's drug that independent experts say should cost between $3,000-$8,400. https://t.co/vJdULvMuod

Medicare poised to funnel the 5.9% Social Security raise into Biogen's coffers
A government for the people would regulate drug prices.

[Common Dreams @commondreams]

"It would be absolutely unacceptable to force 57 million senior citizens to pay $11.50 more a month in Medicare premiums due to Biogen's greed and thirst for massive profits." —@SenSanders https://t.co/okj5ziplSh

Tens of thousands marching through Glasgow demanding climate action at #COP26

[AltYellowstoneNatPar @AltYelloNatPark]

People are turning out by the tens of thousands to demand climate action.

This is amazing

People are sick of waiting
The time is now

We're putting the in-activists on notice
Embrace the solutions or get out of our way

[Ajamu Baraka @ajamubaraka]

The progressives in Congress should reject the obliterated Build Back Better legislation & withdraw support for the infrastructure bill also.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Manchin has weekly huddles w/ Exxon & is one of many senators who gives lobbyists their pen to write so-called “bipartisan” fossil fuel bills.

It’s killing people. Our people. At least 12 last night. Sick of this “bipartisan” corruption that masquerades as clear-eyed moderation.

.@RalphNader It's an oligarch choreographed dance.
... but you knew that

[Ralph Nader @RalphNader]

Can somebody explain why the ruling Senate Democrats don’t make the Republicans actually filibuster on the floor before national TV? GOP positions are minority ones in polls. Why does @SenSchumer allow an email filibuster threat to take place of the real thing? Any answers? -R

You won't see this in the Western media. Wonder why...

This needs to replicated across the world. If not now, when?

I think a lot of folks would love to hear about the strategy progressives intend to use to get us to Medicare for All, and how they can support that effort.

We would love to talk to you about it anytime.
