"There is something broken in America. Our economy is broken. Our political system is broken. Even our relationships with each other feel broken. And that's because the most powerful people in the world want it that way. The billionaires who own the social media algorithms, who own the cable news networks, who own the politicians fighting on our screens, They want us at each other's throats. They want us focused on how we're different. Instead of on how we are the same because our unity is a threat to their wealth and their power. So they divide us on an hourly basis by party, by race, by gender, by religion. So we don't notice that they are picking our pockets. They are closing our schools. They're gutting our healthcare. They're raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for themselves. The real fight in this country is not left versus right. It is top versus bottom. " - James Talarico Victory Speech 3/3/26
