Gen X built the digital world, now AI threatens to replace them in it.
As automation accelerates, job security erodes across every generation.
It’s time to treat #UBI not as charity, but as the foundation of a modern economy.

Traditional welfare controls people.
Basic Income trusts them.
UBI isn’t a safety net, it’s a launchpad: universal, unconditional, and empowering.
As BIEN notes, it replaces gatekeeping with freedom. #UBI

A universal basic income isn’t just a social safety net, it’s a fundamental upgrade to our fiscal architecture.
By simplifying welfare, boosting consumption & planting the seeds of resilience in an age of automation, #UBI reshapes public finance & strengthens the social contract

Forget patch-ups, a building a genuine economic floor like Universal Basic Income isn’t a cost, it’s a productivity engine.
With trials showing more education, more entrepreneurship and no drop in work participation, it’s time we shift from fear to forward-thinking. #UBI

Maryland undervalued vacant land in Baltimore by $484M, shifting the tax burden onto homeowners & businesses.
A Land Value Tax would fix this by taxing land fairly regardless of use, it encourages development and discourages speculation.

18 U.S. states now have local guaranteed income pilots that are proving that UBI works.
It cuts poverty, boosts stability, and respects dignity. The question isn’t if we can do #UBI. It’s when we’ll scale it.

Density means more homes & more green space.
The only thing standing in the way?

Missouri voters approved paid sick leave. Republicans repealed it.
This is an attack on workers and democracy.
If voters say “we need time to heal,” lawmakers shouldn’t say “get back to work.”
The will of the people must mean more than the will of business lobbyists.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.
They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.
Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

A safety net full of holes doesn’t calm a tightrope walker.
Why should it calm a single mom, a laid-off worker, or a disabled teen?
Means-tested welfare misses millions by design.
Universal Basic Income covers everyone by default.

We Democrats need to aggressively primary our senior elected leaders.
Congress has such slim vote margins and we can’t keep accepting the risk of vacancies due to age related deaths/illnesses.
It’s time we get serious about embracing a new generation of leadership.

Their sacrifice didn’t end in 2001, our duty to support them shouldn’t either.
Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
