Exactly! Trapped in a shitty job because of health insurance.
Only one person, who is no longer alive, had the decency and understanding to make sure fishermen and their families had health insurance. He worked to form a "group" plan.That person was Ted Kennedy, who stood up for his constituents.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.

All of this, in violation of the Constitution.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

Three people protesting outside the Portland, OR ICE facility, dressed in inflatable frog costumes, holding a small sign that says “Portland Frog Brigade”.

Over top of the photo is white text reading: “Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."”

As the son of an Episcopal priest, I can confirm that Episcopalian #resist moms have been memeing for quite some time

This is a generational race.

It’s about old ideas vs new ideas. About whether Democrats win by fighting for serious structural change — or lose to Susan Collins yet again by doing more of the same.
