If I was a white student athlete in the South…..I would make a public statement and leave. The fight is for all of us

Trump is claiming the agreements he made with Iran are not the same as those Iran presented. Why isn’t someone asking Trump to explain what he agreed?

Bondi was role modeling for all MAGAs. Their brand is violence. Remember Jan 6?

Why are we calling Trump an idiot? He overthrew democracy and the rule of law. He is a fascist. He knows his lies and deceit are confirmation of the bigotry ingrained into 2/3 of white people.

How? And will “loud” matter if we are just making noise. Where is the organization to fight the fascists? I am scared but will to put my old body on the line. Anyone else feel the same?

Sadly, the Democrats been de facto enablers of fascists for a very long time. Examples include Bill Clinton’s “3 Strikes” and nearly the entire Party lining up behind Bush after 9-11. Far too many more to list

Our “team” lost when Biden failed to demand prosecution of the traitors and then asked for our vote.

Security firms are being inundated with calls from CEOs fearing for their lives since the UnitedHealthcare CEO was killed. A reminder that 68K people die annually due to lack of care & 500K suffer medical bankruptcy—& every one of them fears for their well being every second of every single day.

Our resistance must be rooted in a strong, exciting campaign that is ideologically progressive, even radical. We must learn from the successes in the 1950’s and 60’s. We must be clearly anti-misogynistic and anti-racist. We must understand the caste nature of our world and work to break it 3/3

The idea there is an “ideological center” is a myth. When the George H W Bush (“kinder, gentler) lost to Bill Clinton (3 Strikes your out) it started their drive toward what we gave now-a political party that is about to align our country with the most anti-human dictators in the world. 2/3

The Dems have play to the center since 1972 McGovern disaster and Carter holding the bag for Nixon/Ford failings. Obama made tiny progress by being a centrist, but Biden’s centrist resistance to prosecuting the fascists has brought us to the end of whatever kind of democracy we had. 1/2

We need far more than Elias’ 5 points. We need a unifying ideology that excites. His “Big Tent” idea precludes that. We already see “centrists” normalizing Trump and fascism. The is no political center. Liberals need to “Stand Back and Stand By”. Progressivism will never normalize fascism.

Elisa’ BigTent must not be afraid to label ourselves as progressive: fearlessly anti-misogynistic, actively anti-racist and equally important anti-owning class. There is no longer a political center. Failing to have a clear ideology makes us a guaranteed losers

I watched the video. I get it but was disappointed.Trump’s energized an ideologically fascist base of men, mostly white men. Misogyny and racism worked because his base has always been misogynistic and racist. 1/2

In 2022 H.U.D. determined there were 528,000 homeless Americans and the U.S. Census Bureau determined there were 15,100,000 vacant homes. Facts to share with those believing capitalism is moral and efficient.

“Cruel men believe in a cruel God, and use their belief to excuse their cruelty. Only kindly men believe in a kindly God, and they would be kindly in any case. Men tend to have the beliefs that suit their passions.” — Bertrand Russell, London Calling (1947), p. 18

Merrick Garland will go down in history as a man who did irreparable harm to our nation — and our democracy — through his inaction. His nomination as attorney general by President Biden turns out to have been a horrendous mistake.

America was never what it claimed to be. Democracy was a fraud from the start. Now that the fraud has been clearly revealed, what do we do now?

I have always been a news junkie. That ended a month ago. How do I overcome the disconnect? Where do we go from here?
