Today we lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson proved that a national political movement could be built from bold progressive ideals and an unshakable vision of radical love and justice. May he rest in power.

yes, and also—what if we just *didn’t* have an unelected council of elders with veto power over everything in the country?
once again pointing out that Trump vs. US is a treasonous decision--the Supreme Court equivalent of January 6--and the justices who voted for it have forfeited any claim to legitimacy (or indeed due process) whatsoever
One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model

30 Years Later, It Looks Like Jesse Jackson Won the Economic Argument
The civil rights icon’s progressive ideas were sidelined during the centrist Clinton years, but they’re ascendant in the Democratic Party today.

We are all deeply concerned that Juan and his mom will be deported and that Juan’s health will continue to deteriorate. His life is in danger because of ICE’s monstrous cruelty. I will continue to provide updates and we will keep fighting to protect them.

One of the more hopeful signs in UK politics is that Reform consistently struggles to poll above the mid-to-high 20s - despite a deteriorating economy, the simultaneous implosion of both the traditional parties and a pet TV station.
Reform is not some unstoppable force. It's eminently beatable.

This always comes as a shock to people, when we polled or focus grouped even the most conservative voters Progressive always tested so much better than Democrat. Even if we laid out policy positions. People want someone who is going to fight for them.
And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise
