It is not Congress who keeps america from progress.

It is not POTUS who keeps America from progressing. It is the wealthy donors that own Sinema and Manchin + Republicans.

STOP saying it’s Congress.

Is it too much for the media to ask any Republican what policy they're for?

What are their prescriptions for what ails Americans? And we can’t accept that tired old tax cuts for the rich BS.
I can’t point to a single thing they’re doing to actually fix the massive problems we are facing. I’m fed with with hearing what they’re against. Make them tell us what they’re for. I’d be willing to bet, some of them will say the quiet part out loud if asked directly.

Elected Republicans are about one thing and only 1 thing.

Redistributing money from the bottom and working people to their pockets. They will use any means necessary to achieve their objective.
Their only loyalty is to $. Not their country or democracy.

Rachel just said the votes will happen in the House tomorrow.

The BIF and the BBB

Update: the Speaker has scheduled the votes and we all know that doesn’t happen until she has the votes for passage.

Striketober: America's workers are rising up


https://conversationalist.org/2021/10/28/striketober-americas-workers-are-rising-up/

For months, the media has been reporting on a “labor shortage” that has purportedly left employers unable to fill jobs. Fast food restaurants have posted signs that read: “We are short-staffed. Please be patient with the staff that did show up. No one wants to work anymore.” Small business owners and corporate CEOs alike have gone on cable news to complain about the hundreds of thousands of people who prefer to live on government assistance rather than find a job. But the truth, said Kallas, is that there’s no shortage of labor. Rather, employers can’t find people to work for the wages they’re offering.

Saturation coverage of the labor shortage has come at the expense of amplifying the human cost of the government’s having cut unemployment benefits for 7.5 million workers on Labor Day, while an additional three million lost their weekly $300 pandemic unemployment assistance. Time magazine called it the “largest cutoff of unemployment benefits in history.” Just two weeks earlier, a flurry of newly published studies showed that states that chose to withdraw earlier from federal benefits did not succeed in pushing people back to work. Instead, they hurt their own economies as households cut their spending to compensate for the lost benefits.

Since Biden was elected, the media talks about how all of the special elections are bellwether for

the midterms. So far each time the democratic candidate has won, they move on to the next special election, dragging out those same tired talking points. Only for the election results to prove them wrong time and time again.

How is it Democracy when 2 people can decide they will kill human kind

And cause untold suffering, and it’s allowed to ride.

It's time for a general strike.

These corporate assholes and their flying monkeys in Congress need to understand we are done being their pawns.
We can’t have dental or vision insurance when we get old because rich people will have to pay taxes. Do they even hear themselves? I really need to get off this ride now. I’m in another universe.

The fix is in.

Judge Won’t Let Prosecutors Say Kyle Rittenhouse Killed ‘Victims,’ Will Allow Defense to Call Them ‘Looters’ and ‘Arsonists’ if Warranted

Democrats want to repair and strengthen the villages across America for all Americans.

From Joe 6 pak to the poor souls without a roof over their heads.
70% of the country agrees that it’s high time the wealthy and corporations pay taxes. They benefit from the broken down infrastructure, they must contribute to its rebuilding. We can’t sacrifice the workers or poor people in this country to save a tax cut for some rich asshole.
