Dr. King called the white moderate the "greatest stumbling block in the stride toward freedom" — more dangerous than open racists because they hide behind caution and comfort. Governors Sherrill, Spanberger, Whitmer, and Polis are still proving him right 63 years later. Read my full analysis.

Why Did Dr. King Say White Moderates Are Worse Than The KKK?
Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail is more relevant than ever as white moderates show their cruelty more than ever

NEW: Rather than turn former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández over to immigration officials when he was released from prison less than four years into a 45-year sentence, the Trump administration paid to transport him 350 miles to a posh NYC hotel. By @keribla.bsky.social

It is with deep sadness that I have to report the passing of Chip Berlet. He was one of the few people to consistently research and organize against the U.S. Far Right from the 1970s through the '00s. His co-authored 2000 book "Right-Wing Populism in America" unfortunately remains all-to-relevant.

Thinking about the time Kankakee, Connecticut was rated the worst city in which to live in the US, so David Letterman gave them a gazebo. But then that wasn’t enough to get them promoted, and he gave them a second gazebo. So they could be “Kankakee, Connecticut: The Home of the Twin Gazebos.”

While we’re waiting for Republicans to unveil their healthcare plan, remember this: Health insurance didn’t start as a corporate cash grab. Before the ‘70s, giants like Blue Cross & Blue Shield were nonprofits. Then the 1973 HMO Act, signed by President Nixon, turbocharged for-profit healthcare 1/2

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

This is what I wrote four years ago during the "Woke Capital" nonsense. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Woke is a nebulous term stolen from Black American English, repurposed by conservatives as an epithet to express opposition to forms of egalitarianism they find ridiculous or distasteful—in this case, the idea that constituents of the rival party should have an unfettered right to vote. Wedded to the term capital, it functions as an expression of the hollowness of conservative populism, which is opposed not to the concentration of corporate power so much as to the use of that power for purposes of which conservatives disapprove. Their aim is not to diminish corporate power, but to use it to their advantage. They seek to ensure that large firms use their influence to maintain the dominance of conservative cultural mores and Republican political power.
