One month ago today.
August 29, 2026 – Google Maps obeyed Trump’s order to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America” for U.S. users. The move quickly drew backlash and accusations of “bending the knee.” Google donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration, and CEO Sundar Pichai publicly thanked Trump after a favorable antitrust resolution in September 2025.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.
