"I return to the mantra of Senator Bernie Sanders: the way to win against organized money is with organized people. So we continue to organize."
--India Walton
His record over the past sixteen years shows that he doesn't have much care, compassion, or empathy for the people of Buffalo, unless they're wealthy developers or heads of large corporations.We're looking at unprecedented child poverty, a looming affordable housing crisis and housing crisis--not only of affordable units, but we have one of the widest racial wealth and homeownership gaps in the country--and some of the worst health outcomes, like a childhood lead problem that is comparable to Flint, Michigan. That is the legacy that this man leaves behind. And he won't move on so that someone who has a bold and visionary plan to improve our city can begin the process of governance.
\u201cIf everyday Buffalonians are late on rent, parking fees, or school assignments, they face consequences.\n\nOf course they\u2019re not ok with GOP-backed Byron Brown acting like the rules don\u2019t apply to him!\n\nhttps://t.co/skbpJZrvVl\u201d— Wanderlust (@Wanderlust) 1631040931
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. |
