Working class moms face so many challenges and hardships under this system — the skyrocketing cost of childcare and healthcare, unaffordable grocery prices and rent, an underfunded education and social security system and so much more.
As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s recommit ourselves to the movement for a new kind of society where moms and all working people have their basic needs guaranteed.
We need universal healthcare and childcare, schools not war, housing as a guaranteed right, and other measures that are clearly necessary but never seriously on the table under this dictatorship of the billionaires.
Moms deserve a new system — a socialist system where the needs of the people come first!
Healthcare was expensive and complicated.
People want Universal Healthcare.
So we elected Democrats.
Democrats gave us the Affordable Healthcare "Act".
Now healthcare is expensive, complicated AND MANDATORY!
More money for the "healthcare industry".
Let's stop worshipping politicians and start holding them accountable for results.
Politicians will emotionally manipulate us, give us the warm fuzzies, while stabbing us in the back.
Let's not get hung up on Barry and Michelle, like they are Ken and Barbie, living large in the publicly funded doll house that is the White House.
No more politicians living large on our dime, adored like celebrities, while hiding from the hungry person on the street behind their publicly funded security detail.
Let politicians and popes walk on the street, and stand in the grocery line, like normal people. Let's not give them premium healthcare that we don't have.
You want Universal Healthcare? Get tough, get together, demand Universal Healthcare, and settle for nothing less.
No political stopgap, no incremental progress.
No closed doors diplomacy. No decisions made for the people in secrecy.
They are people, and if they do right, they should not need special privileges, or security. They will have what everyone else has.
That, is the point of the billion dollar ballroom that Trump proposed.

The thing you have to understand about Obamacare is - he don't. 😂
Why are you blaming the Democrats when it's Bernie who always run on universal healthcare, what happened to Medicare for All?
Both parties are in it together. Between them, they have the ideological bent of most of the voters covered.
Here in Japan, people like to be dutiful and meticulous. So the garbage cans have two openings, the left side is for cans, and the right one for bottles. If you are not stupid, you notice that they both empty into the same garbage bin. It's hogwash.
Likewise, the left versus right ideological split is a manufactured delusion, a ruse to make people think about their ideology, or if they don't think much, the team colors they are rooting for. All votes land in the same garbage bin.
Politics is a sham, a theater, something carried out with pomp, circumstance, and ceremony, to make people believe that their vote counts.
If you are scoffing with incredulity when I say that Democrats and Republicans are the same, believe me, I was exactly like that, till 2023.
In 2023 I was a Software Engineer with Federal clearance, working through Accenture Federal Services, for the US Department of Veterans Affairs. I saw the AFS executives collecting fat paychecks, while Veterans were homeless on the sidewalk. I called out the bad software practices at AFS, as an experienced engineer, and backed it up with calculations, calling out waste of public money that could be benefiting Veterans. I predicted that AFS projects would be delayed significantly. They started stonewalling me. The projects were delayed and the executives scapegoated and fired entire teams of people, abruptly, by email. They cut off a team leader's microphone on an all hands call, when she asked why her team was fired earlier that day. The corruption stank to high heaven. I turned whistleblower on them, and was soon terminated, and persecuted. Now I live in Japan, waiting for political asylum.
I was a democrat voter until then, though the persecution began on Biden's watch and continued on Trump's.
Here's my story, complete with documented receipts:
So you're saying Bernie is in on it too?
No idea. I don't think so personally. Bernie didn't win. Though I read his book, "How to Start a Political Revolution", and I am carrying the torch, to the next generation. I will take it as far as I can, though I am getting old ( not as old as Bernie, though 😂 ).
If he's not in on it, how come we haven't gotten Universal healthcare yet? He's been promising it for thirty years.
He might have allied with a Big party as a political strategy, which didn't pan out, since the corruption goes so deep. He might have been thwarted by Big Money and/or backstabbed by other politicians.
He did so much work though.
We stand on the shoulders of Giants who came before us. The torch has been passed to us. The time has come for this reform to happen. Let's make it happen.
I'm not sure I understand. He's been in office in the Senate for thirty years, and he couldn't get this done?
If you are an Obama fan, you could say that not even Obama, as President could not get us healthcare. So how could Bernie, as a senator?
By the way, the same logic applies to Hilary Clinton.
Okay so you do understand opposition and that elected officials have limitations.
I am saying that it is time we united, and brought about the change. Politicians and their political theater, and their excuses are not getting us anywhere.
The thing that gets me is that the "left" claims to be about diversity, inclusion, and love for all.
The "right" claims to be about Christian love.
How come we are so divided?
Why can't we find "one love"?
It suits politicians and their corporate backers to keep us divided, running the treadmill, and never get anywhere. There's nothing but drama and token progress.
Before segregation was abolished, the signs on establishments read, "whites only".
Now, the signs read, "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."
It's not just hypothetical. When I became a whistleblower, I immediately became persona non grata, and was thrown out of all kinds of stores, even gas station convenience stores, for no apparent reason.
A store owner can throw anyone out, without keeping any records of their race, sex, age etc. A store owner can be discriminating against any of these classes of people, without any accountability.
This is very Jim Crow. Discrimination in broad daylight.
Progress is only token progress, sold to us by mainstream media.
So it's time for people to start talking with "the other side", on a personal basis, without prejudice. It's time for us to transcend party lines, for the purpling of America.
