I think progressives have had a problem with "purity tests" (the need for all leaders to have tightly aligned perspectives or else stay quiet about it)
And I think the Democratic Party has had a problem with being...undemocratic - with too much power in the institution and not in the people.

Please, Iβm begging people to stop responding to every economic update and tariff announcement as if theyβre just screwing up and as if the demolition of our economy isnβt beneficial to oligarchs and the wealth class that wants to gobble up resources and exploit us more effectively.

The coolest thing Iβve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

The Republican budget plan is simple: billionaires win, families lose. Republicans say it's about border security, but it's not. They want to rip away support for working Americans, gut critical programs like Medicaid, and balloon the deficit.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.
If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

We're calling out Elon Musk to put on his big boy pants and answer some questions from the Oversight Committee.

Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trumpβs second term and youβll see something very different than what he wants you to see.
"That is the tension at the heart of Trumpβs whole strategy: Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president. He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Trump is doing everything Putin wants him to do: abandoning our nationβs core values, attacking longtime allies, and picking Tulsi Gabbard for a critical national intelligence role. Putin has us right where he wants us, with his puppet as our President.

They prefer them because they donβt have the ability to say no to working 60hrs without overtime, due to the threat of deportation being held over them.
