Well @schumer.senate.gov, since you asked, you could say: "I resign. We failed you by betraying bedrock @democrats.org principles and constituencies to chase wall street cash and mythical centrist votes. Please embrace leaders seeking to revive the New Deal ideals that truly made American great."

until Democrats acknowledge that part of the reason Trump exist is because of leaders like Schumer (D-Israel, Wall Street) the losses are gonna keep piling up. Unfortunately, those losses are American institutions and not just elections.

Hello @amywestervelt.bsky.social , what do you think of the argument that political reporters do more harm than good? e.g. Climate reporter = good, but climate politics reporter = bad. I ask in rxn to the below analysis, combined with my experience with environmental reporters who know their stuff.

Yesterday, 1,400 protests were held to protest the Trump whose headlines fill this page. But to the #BrokenTimes this morning, they are a buried BTW. It has plenty of photos; none here. This is what they call "news judgment." To the Times, we are not news.

As resistance has bubbled up again from the normie Dem base, I’ve seen a lot of “Dems need fighting moderates” takes. I’m all for it. But then Elon flew to Wisconsin to commit an election felony, and if these “fighting moderates” joined the fighting liberal call to arrest him, I somehow missed it.

Despite robust environmental laws on Zambia’s books, they are rarely effectively policed, and community complaints against them are not taken seriously. In 2011 and 2015, communities in the Copperbelt sued Sino-Metals – the company whose dam has now burst – for destroying their fields.
