The audacity of youth


Eventually, you have to stand for what's right

Earlier this week during an orientation for representatives-elect, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that the incoming congresspersons had been spoken to by four CEOs...and zero labor leaders.  Later, Michigan's own Rashida Tlaib tweeted that Gary Cohn of Goldman-Sachs had told the freshmen that they didn't know how the game was played...and Tlaib promptly warned him to prepare his ass for a Congress that puts people over profits.

For all the despair that Donald Trump has created since his election, it fills me with great hope that in spite of it we are electing such congresswomen as Ocasio-Cortez and Tlaib, who are showing that the new boss is not the same as the old boss, and who are going to remind those in power every day that they serve the people and not Corporate America.

Fuck Donald Trump,
