The most powerful force in American politics today is antiestablishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.
Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate and Wall Street Democrats and embrace Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Trump has entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds.
But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them.
And we must not submit.

So tax breaks for the wealthy were so important that we had to cut healthcare, take food from hungry kids, and slap $4 trillion onto the deficit.
But now they're saying we "can't afford" the funds that were already approved for EPA, NOAA, and the Health Department?
Scam.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.
He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.
We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not at our borders. It is in the White House.

Social media and self-selected news have made society essentially ungovernable. Functioning societies can't exist when residents under a single governing authority inhabit completely different realities.
