\u201cThere is a huge line for this @AOC \u2066@Indiawaltonbflo\u2069 event at Town Ballroom. The line is down the street and around the corner.\u201d— Ryan Whalen (@Ryan Whalen) 1635001629
"When people say universal child care's not possible, guaranteed healthcare is not possible... They say post-industrial cities cannot do that anymore, they don't want to do that anymore... Buffalo is taking that excuse away."
\u201cExcited to accompany \u2066@AOC\u2069 to the \u2066@CWAUnion\u2069 picket line at Mercy Hospital.\n\nAs she says, if management can\u2019t guarantee safe staffing ratios because there\u2019s a \u201cshortage\u201d of Registered Nurses and healthcare workers, then supply-and-demand dictates:\n\nPay better wages!\u201d— Wanderlust (@Wanderlust) 1635016442
"This is corruption at its finest," said Walton on social media. "Federal money meant to serve our community has gone to line the mayor's pockets. We cannot afford another four years of corruption at City Hall."
To the crowd at the early voting rally, Walton said, "When we organize, we win."
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
