Kudos to Mitt Romney, whom we exposed for his "47 Percent" comments, for coming to the conclusion that "we have reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more."

Lessons from this year:
1) There are always goons ready to join a goon squad
2) Some people are actually brave and care about Democracy
3) Some Christians are actually brave and care about Christianity
4) A surprising number of billionaires are, in fact, neonazis

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

It's Black Press Day. And the historic Black press understood what it was like to be targeted, surveilled, charged with crimes, even jailed. As similar threats loom, we should take a look at this history. Read/Listen/Share/Subscribe to Fortify here: nicolefcarr.substack.com/p/the-histor...
The historic Black press and the attempt to criminalize journalists
I've long thought about the potential for U.S. journalists to be jailed in America for doing our jobs. We should remember how the government came after Black journalists in the not-so-distant past.

The surrender caucus secured yes votes from Democrats who aren't facing re-election this cycle, but four of them have Democratic governors who can pick their replacement.
If you live in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine or Virginia this is an easy and effective way to make your anger clear.

Yup, and the damage isn’t so much in the story as in the proof of weakness. Trump now knows he has new torture tools to make Dems do what he wants. It’s why at least one of the 7 capitulators oughta be run out of office now, mid session. Get that number down to 6. www.offmessage.net/p/16-thought...
