Some interesting and welcome news from Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez
In the past I have seen a lot of condescension, ridicule, and anger in conversations here and elsewhere regarding the Fight for $15. It looks like H.R. 15 Raise the Wage Act currently has 171 cosponsors.
In the past I have seen a lot of condescension, ridicule, and anger in conversations here and elsewhere regarding Medicare for All. It looks like H.R. 676 Medicare for All Act has 123 cosponsors.
...And for those ready with their condescension, ridicule, and anger for these kids over their action this week please take a moment to watch this and tell me that they don’t deserve your respect.
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through...
Should also add two Politico (ugh) articles that show that this is being met with resistance too. Hat tip to Tote.
