81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

The fall of an empire is supposed to be a dramatic thing. But the reality is far less exciting.

It happens in the text of legislation nobody bothered reading, in local elections nobody followed, in a thousand tiny disasters that amounted to a thousand little cuts on the body politic.

I just broke out into shivers seeing in my notifications that said “Biden commutes sentence for indigenous activists…” I waited for bated breath as the app slowly opened. The people finally won the freedom of Leonard Peltier.
