Identity politics contained the seeds of its own destruction. As disadvantaged minorities gained more equal opportunities, individuals diversified in their political stands, as is their right. The upshot: economic empowerment should be the key message of progressives, as Bernie Sanders always said.

Our first post is a big one...Statement from Keker, Van Nest & Peters on Trump’s Latest Executive Order “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.”

Schumer is making a big mistake supporting the Republican budget. This is not our program. Budget or no budget Musk-Trump will continue wrecking the government. We have no reason to share the blame for this assault on the American people.

Trump’s emergent governing style is extremist bombast followed by sheepish retreat. Bullshitting and chaos. Query whether he’ll be able to succeed at anything?

"Lech Wałęsa reminded Trump that 'Gratitude is due to the heroic Ukrainian soldiers,' and added, 'We do not understand how the leader of a country that is a symbol of the free world cannot see this.'

Elon Musk wants to be sure you know that Trumpism is a revival of Naziism. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/w...

How real governments - state and federal - respond to collective challenges. Is government anywhere in the United States capable anymore of acting for the greater good? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/o...

“This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” said the federal judge, a Reagan appointee. “I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar would state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind.”

Please support the bishop who pled with the powerful to be merciful and remember our common humanity, at a critical moment in America’s history. This is the only inter-faith (secular) petition supporting Bishop Budde, who is being viciously attacked by MAGA world. www.change.org/p/extend-our...

I’ve just showed up here. I liked what I saw about it in a Forbes post that came up randomly on my FB feed. We need to leave Musk and Zuckerberg in the dust. Peace, love, Woodstock!
