We cannot allow our neighbors to be shot and killed or disappeared regardless of their legal status. We need to stand together and say NO -IT MUST NOT CONTINUE ! If you are in Chicago join us, if you are elsewhere find a similar event.
This is why the majority of Americans want fundamental change in our healthcare system- so they can afford to use it and stay healthy !
And we intend to fight with our democratic rights (without violence) to keep our freedoms which we celebrate and want extended to all within our borders.
This cartoon by Nick Anderson is clear in depicting the reason we all feel sick to our stomachs.
MAGA Feds insult our people every day with their ego concerns. Thanks to N Anderson- Pen Strokes for cartoon.
Deaths of those in ICE Custody- the whole situation of ICE detentions is a travesty that we need to stop ! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
MAGA impoverishes our country though tax cuts for the wealthy. The payment on the debt could fund so much of what our people REALLY need. From Thom Hartmann Sub Stack-They Blew Up the Debt, Stalled America’s Future, and Stuck You With the Bill. All to Enrich the Top 1% and Win Elections…
Most of us agree that non violence action is strategically and tactically the correct approach to us moving towards the world we want. The right wing of the US does not. This is the actual data. The CATO Institute is not even what one could consider "liberal".
We need to keep talking about ongoing Trump/MAGA/oligarchy corruption. (Copied from P. Krugman's blog 4-15-26)
Thank you Nick Anderson for depicting what we know and will continue to act on.
My neighbor getting ready for No Kings- See you there on Sat. in Chicago Butler Field Grant Park 1:30 PM.
Those who voted to cut Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid and not extend expanded Premium Tax Credits for those on ACA all to give the ultra wealthy Tax Cuts better look out ! Because unless the election is more rigged voter anger will get expressed.
This shows what is undermining our democracy and attacking our values. (Thanks P. Krugman) Now we need to be superorganized to counter this corrosion.
We are a gentle and angry people and we are singing, singing for our lives." Thank you to Holly Near. Almost 60 of us gathered in Chicago to sing of community and resistance.
This is why we must defund ICE and abolish it when we are back in power. When we need a true immigration reform effort so that so many of our neighbors who came like my grandparents to escape repression elsewhere , have a path to citizenship. (Graphics via Minocqua Brewing Co.)
Voting again ! and GOP in the Senate pushing for as "dirty" an agreement as they can squeeze out while continuing some premium tax credits. #HealthcareHeist Call your Senator if you haven't already ! This would help some of our folks afford healthcare. It isn't enough. We need a REAL FIX M4A !
The stakes if congress does NOT extend ACA premium tax credits: Healthcare costs for 22 million people will double, or even triple, and up to 6 million will go without healthcare because they can no longer afford it,. This is on top of cuts to Medicaid --- all to fund billionaire tax cuts.
This shows our K shaped economy, so averages and totals TOTALLY miss the point that most of us feel. (Reprinted from A. Tooze Chartbook)
