“Just vote blue in 2026” won’t save us from American fascism. Both parties have been drifting to the right for years. Democrats and Republicans have aligned themselves with corporatocracy and oligarchy, respectively.

It funds veterans and agriculture but abandons the 20 million Americans who rely on ACA subsidies for health care.

A Band-Aid won’t fix a bleeding nation.

Today, New Mexico launched its universal childcare initiative. Last month I wrote about it for Roosevelt Institute -- historic state endeavors like this should show lawmakers at all levels of government that Americans are sick and tired of waiting for bold action on childcare. shorturl.at/Sm2tZ

They Said Red America Would Stay Silent. Then It Roared “No Kings.” From the plains of Wyoming to the pews of Georgia, millions stood in defiance of tyranny. Inside are the voices, colors, and conviction of a nation finding its roar.

They said Red America would stay silent. Then it roared.

Exactly. I firmly believe these accounts are bad faith digital arms of the regime. Engagement with them of any kind/comments will let them go back and mine your profile for "dissident" behavior

Block them all

Don't engage
