We hold town hall meetings to get people behind an updated version of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Economic Bill Of Rights.
Pinned
This is what we're about and what we want Democrats to run on. It's FDR's Economic Bill of Rights, updated.

Anyone disagree?

The way I see it there's only two paths to defeating Trump - divestment, or soft secession, what Chris Armitage writes about. And, forming a citizens group that's millions strong.

Don't let No Kings be wasted time
Nothing will change unless we the people divest and take control of the Democratic Party.

I hope there are millions of sucession themed signs at the No Kings protest.

Just talked to a friend. She spends most of her time reading how bad things are.

She doesn't call her representatives or show to their offices.

She is, however, going to the No Kings protest, where she'll join millions of folks just like her.

I don't believe the left has an ask. Mostly what they have are complaints.

I started Town Hall Citizen because I believe the left needs an ask, should organize an updated version of FDR's Economic Bill of Rights.

I think this piece has a lot of holes.
The place to be for media startups isn't substack - it's Ghost.

substack can cancel you, Ghost can't.

On Ghost publishers get more benefits, including keeping more of their money.

I'm all in on Blue Bonds. Bravo! @moneyontheleft.bsky.social @greenbackbetter.bsky.social

Blue Bonds allow Americans - in all states - to invest in democracy, which they’ll surely do.

Americans will move to blue states because they want a better life.
