Here’s what I think the modern Dem platform should be:
-Prosecute this administration
-Expand and pack SCOTUS
-Outlaw private equity
-Limit corporate consolidation
-Ban fossil fuels
-Ban AI
-Heavily regulate gambling
-Free healthcare/free pre-K thru college education
-Permanent DST
For starters.

The pleasure of writing something you’re proud of only comes from the struggle of having to write a lot of things you aren’t particularly proud of. And some days you’ll feel so good while you’re writing, and other days you’ll feel horrible. That’s writing AND being a human.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.
