We are the first generation that has sufficient resources to put a roof over every head, a meal on every table, to provide education and basic health care to all, and to care for the planet.
Yet we don't.
You have to ask what is wrong with us?

Republicans have turned the USA into the kind of police state that Republicans always warned you America would become if you didn't vote for Republicans.

Trump is a war monger.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.
"Everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base," one House Dem told @axios.com
Said another: "It looks weak." www.axios.com/2026/01/04/m...

Velshi and Mehdi Hassan crushing it. This is the strongest retribution against historical American corruption I have ever heard. They are not holding back. I believe this is just the beginning. The rest of the world is saying this. But no one is saying this inside America on a mass media level.

Dear Democratic Leadership: I understand that without a majority it is unreasonable to demand Democrats impeach members of this administration.
I do, however, think it's reasonable to demand that you are allocating legal resources to build the evidence needed for impeachment.
Deal?

Late stage capitalism: Half a dozen individuals own the means of production and are not accountable to any government or the people.

Do House or Senate Democrats, or for that matter any State prosecutors have resources that can be working on building the evidence needed to bring Trump administration crimes to court instead of waiting until DOJ has been rebuilt (probably 2029 or 2030 earliest)?

Your occasional reminder that every time you fail to link Trump's crimes to the Republicans who enable him you are giving the party a pass on accountability and potentially perpetuating the problem.
