CLAIM: Dems must be more moderate to win elections
Ok. Let's unpack that.
A living wage is moderate—a poverty wage is extreme
Guaranteed healthcare is moderate—denying care is extreme
Racial justice is moderate—racism is extreme
Climate justice is moderate—denying climate science is extreme
Reject GOP Framing. Lean confidently into our ideas based on facts and justice because that wins elections.
SCOTUS: We exist to defend rights for all people in America!!
Students?
SCOTUS: Except them
LGBTQ people?
SCOTUS: Except them
Migrants seeking asylum?
SCOTUS: Except them
Women seeking healthcare?
SCOTUS: Except them
Black people seeking equality?
SCOTUS: Except them
Then who?
Rich white MAGAs rejected from Harvard.

Also keep this in mind.
Yes, the drug dealing Sackler Family are paying $6B for illegal Oxycontin distribution & killing ~546K Americans. But not only does no amount of money bring back the dead, the Sacklers are still worth $11B and 0 of them are going to prison for their crimes. $6B is just the Sacklers' cost of doing business.
Meanwhile ~40K disproportionately Black & brown people who killed no one—ARE in prison for cannabis.
The system ain't broken—it was built this way.
Utah GOP passed a law in 2022 to ban books containing “pornographic or indecent” content from Utah schools, libraries, and classrooms.
So a a parent asked that the Bible be removed per GOP definition of vulgarity—and the committee approved.🤯
In short—the GOP has cancelled the Bible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Receipts: "According to the Economic Policy Institute, wage theft costs U.S. workers as much as $50 billion per year — a number far higher than all robberies, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts combined."
Here’s some perspective.
Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!
Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!
What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”
Last week a bill passed the House & Senate to:
•End student debt relief
•Force people to pay interest cancelled due to pandemic
•Reinstate 260K+ already cancelled student loans owed by educators, nurses, first responders, & public service workers
Biden will veto, but this absurd attack on working people is the GOP’s focus—all while protecting their precious billionaire donors. Vote the GOP out.
*(Unsurprisingly Manchin, Sinema, & Tester voted with the GOP).
I attended an interfaith event last Friday & the evangelical pastor lamented to me,"America's lost her way because we've forgotten Jesus."
I responded, "As a Muslim I love Jesus too—but when exactly would you say America 'followed' Jesus? Was it during Native Genocide? Slavery? Jim Crow? Denying women equal rights? While invading Iraq?”
Deafening silence.
If you want to show me your faith, first show me your service to ALL humanity—regardless of faith or no faith. B/c faith w/o works is dead.
