Last week's election and last night's betrayal prove that the Democratic base has rightfully moved to the left of its establishment politicians and their status quo. Voters won't accept it anymore, so the party either follows them or fails. Me for @spitfirenews.com

And it’s no coincidence that this is happening in response to liberal social change and cultural advances that have been largely accomplished through the internet and social media, at a time when fighting back via our primary news and communications platforms is arguably more critical than ever

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Experts Say Blue States Can Stop Paying Federal Taxes. There’s Precedent
If we could use nullification for people to get high, why can’t we use it to protect human rights and stop fascism?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I said the same thing when the Senate Democrats caved in the spring: you must never capitulate to dictators, it only emboldens them (and it did).
Rinse, repeat. The cowardice is heartbreaking. Tough to be a Democrat sometimes.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.
