Progress not perfection.
To preserve democracy and the economic system on which it rests, the government must regulate business, protect workers, and provide a basic social safety net.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

The American people are begging their leaders to have the courage to stand up right now. When a president calls for executing elected officials, we must all speak out to defend our country and our freedoms. Read my full statement here:

Dear the media,
When the US president claims he brokered a peace deal in a place with active combat—eg Rwanda and Congo—the story is (1) fighting rages on, and (2) US president lies.
The story is not “president touts historic peace deal.” A peace deal involves peace.
Sincerely,
Factual reality

The Dems are far from perfect, but the vast majority of them seem to have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and they deserve support in an imperfect system. This cannot be said of the scum in the Rep party.

The current president doesn't kiss babies and pat children on the head to gain votes; he calls his detractors kids' names and sexually assaults young girls - and his supporters justify it.

We already know the Trump administration has been lying about ICE “targeting the worst of the worst” — the actual numbers tell the truth.
The government’s own data shows only 15 % of those detained had any prior criminal convictions, and just 3 % were violent offenders.
