Undocumented people pay billions in federal taxes for Medicaid they're banned from using. Republicans want to gut $880 billion from that program to finance tax cuts for the ultra-rich. But sure, tell me again who the welfare queens are. #RepublicanHealthcareCrisis

One of the biggest political battles of the midterms is happening in California. The result will shape the Democratic Party and how we shift the balance of power from the billionaire class back into the hands of the people. ⬇️ robertreich.substack.com/p/why-cali…

A 911 call from Salem, Oregon, describes a disturbing encounter in which a woman was screaming that she was a U.S. citizen as ICE goons broke her vehicle window and forcibly pulled her out. According to reporting on the call, the woman suffered a concussion, torn rotator cuff and bruised ribs.

It's generally not a crime to lie in advertisements or statements about ballot propositions, so hey, the sky's the limit. Billionaires have the funds to promote bold-faced lies, so THE TRUTH ends up being grossly underfunded. If you know a Californian, please drop some truth bombs in real life.

The problem with this entire “talking across difference” approach to politics is that it assumes a shared consensus about democracy that no longer exists b/w the 2 main 🇺🇸 political parties. You don’t need to have lunch with people who don’t believe in free elections, equal rights, & the rule of law.
