Finland ended homelessness with a housing first strategy that gave people apartments before they secured employment Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days True work life balance Meanwhile in the US, people work two jobs and can’t afford food or healthcare.

So true. He cut the top rate from 70% to 28%. If billionaires were paying 70%, or anything close to that we could provide healthcare for all and still have a surplus each year. Also, why is the estate tax exemption tied to inflation while the minimum wage is not? #Plutocracy

Reagan waged war against the middle class & working people. He started taxing unemployment & social security. Voodoo economics is what propelled the billionaire class. The wealthy & corporations have not paid their fair share in taxes for decades. He busted unions and more. Rethugs perpetuate this.

Many Say This All Started With Reagan.....

There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion. The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

When I was 12 I realized that a world in which people told the truth, were kind, worked so that all could fairly reach for their dreams, would be a really good place in which to live. So I focused my life on doing what I could to make this reality. I don’t think these 2,900 billionaires are trying.

Every billionaire is a policy failure

The only real answer is universal basic income and we need you talking about it. Yes, shorter weeks are good, but that doesn't benefit everyone equally. Neither does a job guarantee or retraining. UBI is the dividend that we all deserve as creators of the data AI was trained on.

Let me blow your minds

Health care should be non-profit like it was before Nixon.

When will Dems or anyone be brave enough to assert that the U.S. has to move towards being a social democracy? At scale it has challenges but not in comparison to our current nightmare of an economy, health care system, tax structure and wealth inequity. And yes that’s inequity, not inequality…

I’ve watched this 3 times now

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated. I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

As I tell my students, after I show them different demographic pyramids, we are a third world country inside a first world one.

It's the only realistic response to AI, and every single person voting no in your poll either doesn't understand it very well or opposes the idea based on dogmatic ideas or fears of being taxed more than they receive. Milton Friedman himself supported UBI, but many fools still yell "socialism."

No country with billionaires should have anyone going hungry or homeless

To ALL the DINO's who voted to condemn socialism to keep your pockets lined & fight against the Working Class that FDR FOUGHT & DELIVERED for with his New Deal...

Hey working class Americans...republikkkan's are trying to starve us & their spouses (corporate, republican-lite Dem's) have abandoned us since FDR They are co-conspirators making us slaves to the rich Progressives & DSA are the working class party striving to keep us free from their chains

That’s my mayor 🤘

www.newsweek.com/full-list-of... Full List of Democrats Voting to Condemn Socialism as Mamdani ...

The Democratic Establishment is "Big Tent" when it comes to Fetterman, Sinema and Manchin, but not when it comes to Mamdani. It's long past time to kick the Conservatives out of the Democratic Party.

If your Democratic Rep or Senator is too busy condemning socialism and not working towards lowering your housing costs, utilities, or working towards Medicare for all.. They're not working for you. They're working for large corporations and billionaires.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

MLK did not shy away from the tension between unrestrained capitalism and socialism. We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Billionaires ARE the enemy. You will never be one, know one or befriend one. They didn’t create your job; they probably cost you your job. They are the executors of the divide & conquer approach that keeps the peons at each other’s throats, instead of storming their castles. It’s the truth.

What I like about Zohran is he seems to be the one person to realize if he just remains a reasonable dude and lets everyone else be unreasonably horrible to him, they do their own smear campaigns. Literally all he has to do is gently interrogate whatever plops out of their mouths, it's hilarious.

Oh my. James Talarico is incredibly skilled in dismantling Christian Nationalists. Get this man in the Senate.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble. A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments. We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

BREAKING: Marshall Islands becomes the first country to launch a Universal Basic Income program. Every resident (about 33,000 people) will receive $200 every 3 months. This works out to being about 11% of GDP per capita. If the US did that same percentage, the UBI would be about $770/mo.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.
