In this Trumpian era, America’s moral compass — its capacity to separate right from wrong, and to pride itself doing (or at least trying to do) what is honorable — seems to have vanished, along with the norms on which that authority has been based. robertreich.substack.com/p/honor-and-...
Honor and Shame in the Era of Trump and Epstein

Super PACs are destroying what’s left of American democracy.
For over a decade, these billionaire-funded mega-PACs have served as legal loopholes, allowing corporations and the ultra-wealthy to pump unlimited, often anonymous money into our elections. They buy influence. They drown out real voters.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Such an important presentation. It’s not just that every nonviolent protest campaign above 3.5% of population prevails, it’s that it succeeds by winning consensus through demonstration, a method that de-escalates violence and reinforces the foundations of healthy democracy.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.
This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Emily Feiner was forcibly removed from GOP Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall after she asked her so-called "moderate" congressman to stand up to Donald Trump's authoritarian power grab.
There's a great pushback happening across the entire country — even in Republican held districts.

The wannabe dictator wants a party? Well then, let's show him some "love”. On June 14th, Trump is spending millions of taxpayer $$$ to throw himself a military parade for his birthday. That's why we're peacefully protesting across the nation on the 14th. In America, we have no kings. #50501Movement
