As I've written before, people don’t trust institutions because institutions aren't doing the job. Democracy rests on three pillars: Verification, Deliberation, Accountability, which can be understood as being substantial, performative, and simulated.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

There is no such thing as a 'Centralist' Democrat - There are Republicans that just can't handle voting for MAGA, and what they call 'left wing' or 'Progressive' as a pejorative.
The 'left wing' and 'Progressives' ARE the FDR Democrats.

Europe won't back down over Greenland, if he wants Economic War, that's what he gets.
President Macron will ask the EU to activate its never used before Anti-coercion measure dubbed the "Trade-Bazooka".It's basically Economic Warfare on USA involving bans on US Goods and services, high counter tariffs, Digital market restrictions, sanctions and financial market limits

Really? Why did America elect a North Korean leader?
The Trump admin just changed which days Americans can visit national parks for free next year — removing Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth and adding Trump's birthday.
