We absolutely do not need a left-wing McCarthy. We do however need several in the Democratic Party willing to hold Trump and his administration responsible for their crimes against the Constitution

I respectfully disagree with AOC. The Trump admin doesn’t think these policies are about hurting Democrats, that is simply how they sell it to the red hats. They are destroying America on purpose to buy up the remains.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.

Every few generations, societies have to rediscover and confront that concentrated wealth is corrosive. This is not a new story, but we didn’t live through the others.

The sooner we reckon with the damage it is causing, the sooner we can begin to repair the harm.

Oligarchy Degrades Everything - Health Care Edition

Corporations deciding which diseases are “worth” curing, which lives are “worth” saving breeds despair. That, that quiet despair, is the deepest moral cost of oligarchy.
