As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Trump here is is referring to pro-Palestine protests so you won’t hear a peep from conservatives or even pro-Israel liberals. But just imagine if this was Biden referring to ‘illegal protests’ by conservative students or pro-life groups. Free speech brigade would be going mad!

It took 180 years to get money into politics. It's going to take 20 to get it out if we do everything right. No easy task. We can change, improve, fight, all of it. But little will fundamentally change until we get money out of politics. Are you in for the long haul?

Provide a solution. Don't just "resist"
Americans don’t want to see healthcare cuts and tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. That’s what the GOP wants.
Where the Democratic Party loses people is just opposing that without providing an alternative vision.
Tax the ruling class, pass Medicare for All for the working class.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion
Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion
Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.

Just like they were weak on not passing Build Back Better.
