"Yet it is abundantly clear even to me that the Democratic Party must now run on the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression…

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.

That should be a major story and talking point.

They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, has died at 111. She carried the trauma of 1921 for over a century and still had the courage to demand truth and reparations. We must honor her by continuing the fight for justice that was denied.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

"In its brief order, the court’s conservative majority said the president’s ability to conduct foreign affairs appeared “to outweigh the potential harm” faced by foreign aid recipients."

Dying due to lack of food and medicine is, apparently, only potential harm.

I find it strange that some folks still want to play the game by the old rules when Trump and MAGA have flipped over the damn table.

If you’re too afraid to do your job, you should quit your job. If you’re too afraid to report on what’s going on because you’re afraid of MAGA death threats, you should stop being a reporter.

if you’re too afraid to vote against honoring a white nationalist due to death threats, you should resign.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

A US President threatening to use the military against civilians in an American city is not normal and journalists who choose to ignore or normalize this should explain their choice to the communities they serve.

Ukraine marked 34 years since declaring its independence from the Soviet Union on Sunday, even as its war to repel Russian invaders stretches on.
