When Trump’s Term Is Finally Up, We Must Burn His Legacy to the Ground
We don’t need to “heal.” We don’t need to focus on “kitchen-table issues.” We need to divert the river to clean out the stables.

Project Esther is the GOP plan to silence and criminalize political dissent and criticism of TACO and Israel.
It is diabolical and already at work.
The sheer amount of damage that is happening to American democracy is causing me to just dread 2026.

A modest proposal:
Let’s ONLY charge Social Security to people making OVER $200,000 a year.
SS would be solvent & we’d no longer be taking huge bites out of our children’s early low-paying jobs. Win/win.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result: demagoguery and corruption.
Say it with me: Tax the rich.

If they weren’t concern-trolling about “globalize the intifada” they’d make up some other excuse to express their concern, and they know it. Their objection is to criticism of Israel, not to the way those criticisms are being expressed.

Next month, Tik Tok is going to be taken over by MAGA owners, solely because Dems in the House & Senate sided with the GOP to force a sale of Tik Tok, over the strenuous & vociferous objection of their base.
It will go down as one of the dumbest & most self-destructive moves in political history.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

Losing Tik Tok to MAGA is going to have a massive impact on the midterms.
We have lost the single most effective platform for political messaging.
And Dems sided with the GOP to force the sale to protect Israel.
An absolutely unforgivable betrayal of their base. Insanely stupid and dangerous.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats.
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft.
Know the truth.

Today, Bethlehem is in the West Bank - a land that is surrounded by walls. A city where its people and his followers face apartheid.
