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.

“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s White House meeting with South Africa’s president.
The image he was holding up, however, is of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage.
Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.
The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

I wish that people would stop pretending that having non-white children or sexual partners is any kind of impediment to white supremacist politics. This is the country of Thomas Jefferson and Strom Thurmond. Why persist in magical thinking about the power of familial ties to combat racism?

More Democrats need to speak like this. Those that do will be rewarded. It will take a while for the current establishment base and donors to realize it and we're going to lose them and that's good for the long term health of the country. Let them go. Dead weight bringing us down.

The first rule of authoritarian politics is that there’s only one source of authority.
Congress will be expected to give up its role in governing, particularly anything that restrains Trump’s choices and desires.
