“It turns out men across party lines and different walks of life want government policies that allow them to be actively involved in their families—and this is connected to their ideas of masculinity, not contrary to it.” @dhuckelbridge @dorianwarren msnbc.com/know-your-valu…

“Men aren’t all MAGA incels or podcast bros. Millions of us care about care and will fight for real policies and investments that allow us to be there for our families—until we win.” @dorianwarren Check out our new survey of men and care in America. globalstrategygroup.com/wp-content/upl…

NEW: UAW Calls on Michigan Legislature to Deliver for Working Class People in Lame Duck Session The UAW issued the following statement today calling on the Michigan legislature to deliver for working class people in the upcoming lame duck session: The UAW is the state’s largest union, with over 300,000 active and retired members in Michigan. For too long, corporations and the rich have taken more of the wealth we’ve created for themselves. They’ve rigged the rules of our politics and pitted working-class people against one another by telling us there isn’t enough for everyone. That must end. In the final days of the Democratic trifecta, we are calling on the legislature to show up and fight for working class people. Michigan’s lawmakers can fight for the working class or do the bidding of corporations and big donors, but they can’t do both. It’s time to pick a side. We must go on offense for living wages, health care, retirement with dignity, and time with our families. We must defend against corporate greed and divide and conquer politics. In the lame duck session, we are expecting action from our legislators, and we will be watching closely. Who stands with the working class on our core issues, and who stands with corporate interests? In the coming days, the UAW will be demanding action on important legislation that makes life better for working people and our families and that protects our rights and communities from harm. We need our leaders to fight for the working class all over this country, but it starts here in Michigan, the birthplace of the UAW.

This debate about the role of non-profit interest groups and Dems is missing the point. It’s a symptom of a much larger problem—hollowed out politics. The Dem side political practice (often driven by donor advisors/firms) abdicates actual politics in favor of the *appearance* of it. Constant polling, obsessive RCTs on field tactics, treating voters as consumers. Media is very important, but can’t cover for weak organization and alienated bases. Alternative? 🧵

Now at #EconConPresents: @dorianwarren & @IndivarD take the stage for a fireside chat about next year’s tax fight, what’s at stake, and how progressives can organize. Join us live ⬇️

@ChicagosMayor A huge s/o to @EatOrgChicago who has been key in advancing guaranteed income initiatives. Their efforts are helping to lift families, cut poverty, and create a more equitable future.

I applaud @ChicagosMayor for allocating $32.5 million in his proposed 2025 budget for a #guaranteedincome program that will uplift 5,000 low-income Chicagoans! This key investment will empower recipients, support families, and strengthen our communities.
