Trump could care less about the working class

Friend — Trump likes to paint himself as a populist. He campaigned as a so-called champion for the working class of America. But the truth is, he only cares about himself and his billionaire buddies. And now, just two months into his term in office, Trump’s anti-worker agenda is clearer than eve…

A revolution.

Massachusetts is where revolutions are born. And no, that is not ‘socialism’. It’s American patriotism. For people who love to call themselves ‘patriots’, MAGA Republicans don’t seem to understand the history of patriotism in this country. In 1775, the ‘shot heard round the world’ was fired at t…
