They invisibilize. They erase. They character assassinate.
And still we're at 10 per cent.
Donate now so we can reach more people. Candidate suppression is a form of voter suppression, and it doesn't belong in a democratic society.
Don't acquiesce. We can override the media's insistence that only the President has a right to be considered a serious contender for the nomination.
Ours is the campaign that can beat Donald Trump this time. The biggest danger to Democrats in 2024 is not Donald Trump. The biggest risk is how many voters will simply stay home unless we offer them a whole lot more than they're being offered now.
An Economic Bill of Rights. Universal health care. Tuition free college and tech school. A living wage. Subsidized child care. A Department of Peace. Declaration of a Climate Emergency. Ending the Drug War. And much much more... https://t.co/o5zr8uPGBz
I don't like to mention it often, but for those who may be unaware, AoN is entirely community funded by the fans - if you're able to even for a month, a small chip-in to the costs of keeping things running really helps: https://t.co/QTzPm7SpaF - thanks everyone, enjoy!
The Clarence Thomas bombshells keep dropping. Now @guardian reports that lawyers who had business before the Supreme Court made direct Venmo payments to a Thomas aide.
Thomas must resign or be impeached if SCOTUS is going to retain any credibility.
Biden calls his home “the corporate state of Delaware."
Mitt Romney insists “corporations are people, my friend.”
Embodying that bipartisanship, Delaware Dems are now considering passing a GOP bill that would let corporations vote in elections. https://t.co/VVswq5AHG7
🚨INVESTIGATION: Amid derailments, the Biden admin quietly approved permits to let a financial firm run oil trains thru an accident-prone canyon along a river 40 million Americans rely on for water.
@SecretaryPete could subsidize it despite Dem opposition https://t.co/UT2nc6dbaD
The stories coming out of the Supreme Court are astonishing. We need to reestablish faith in our nation’s highest court immediately. Clarence Thomas must resign and Congress must put in place ethics standards. https://t.co/MlBQe2HVvs
It is hard to overstate how damaging trickle-down economics has been for the American economy. It has eviscerated our tax code and empowered a class of oligarchs that dominate our political system.
It seems like a good time to remind you that the debt ceiling increased three times under Trump. There was no holding the economy hostage. There was no drama at all.
The richest 1% took home nearly twice as much wealth as the rest of the world put together over the past two years.
If that doesn’t convince you wealth inequality is out of control, I don’t know what will.
Good points from @JoeConchaTV. What does it say about our democracy that we may end up with two nominees that overwhelming majorities of the country do not want and who both refuse to debate? https://t.co/d2L9L2Sz4u
The DNC “plans no primary debates.”
As though there simply ARE no other candidates … no other ideas we should discuss about ways to win in 2024, or other ideas we should discuss about ways to repair the country.
Too many people are too smart to accept this.
Reminder that billionaires made more than $1.5 trillion since the beginning of the pandemic and pay next to nothing in taxes.
If we can afford massive tax breaks to billionaires, we can afford basic healthcare, housing and food assistance for working people.
Black people are 3.64x MORE likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people, despite using it at similar rates.
It’s time to legalize marijuana, expunge records, and make the industry equitable for communities targeted by its criminalization.
1/3 of American workers live on less than $15 an hour.
68,000 people die in America every year from lack of healthcare.
America’s poverty rate is higher than in any other advanced democracy.
None of that is necessary. And none of it is excusable.
“The UAW wasn’t founded by asking for permission. The founders of this union didn’t wait for the law. They didn’t worry about the law. They wanted their dignity and they wanted their fair share, and they did what the hell they had to do to get it."
— UAW President Shawn Fain
We can spend $858 billion this year for the Department of War, but we can’t do shit to save the lives of 68,000 Americans who will unnecessarily die this year because they cannot afford to see a doctor when they get sick. That, too, is corruption.
