We need to remember what FDR the Greatest Generation came to see in the 1930s/1940s when facing the Depression & Fascism: the only way to truly defend, secure, & sustain American democratic life against those who are determined to suppress it is to radically enhance it.

Trump Blows A Gasket As America Spends Christmas Ignoring Him

It is Christmas, and the American people clearly have no time to pay attention to Donald Trump, which is why the president is acting out.

1770s 1860s 1930s & 1940s… It is now our turn to save American democratic life from reactionary forces set upon destroying it. It is now our turn to do so by making the USA radically freer, more equal, and more democratic than ever before.

“It is proper, constitutional, and legal for a federal grand jury to indict a sitting president for serious criminal acts that are... contrary to, the president’s official duties. In this country, no one... is above the law.”

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 2d

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

The ultra-rich have amassed disgusting amounts of wealth by exploiting the working class.

It’s time to put the working class first and fight for our right to live.

For 200yrs conservatives despised Paine & scorned his memory.One can understand why. Endowing us with democratic impulses & aspirations, Paine turned Americans into radicals—and we have remained radicals at heart ever since. Tragically the Dems - for whom I vote - refuse to engage that spirit….

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK:

He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial.

C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.
