WHAT SHE SAID!!!!
Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine.
No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment.
Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Correct.
Every day that the pushback by Congress is muted, the more we can be sure Trump will take it asa green light to invade another country.

Correct.

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela
We are a rogue state, a global pariah
Trump is ruling as a dictator, period
An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations
The message for 2026 is clear: No kings!

Trump's illegal war on Venezuela cemented his claim to dictatorship and marked the U.S. as a global pariah.

Always follow the money.
And there ya have it…
Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Except from the lips of democratic leaders.
I suspect two of the hot words for 2026 will be “impeach” and “remove”

Not an overstatement to say that this is the end of international post-UN Charter.

Pretty much the truth.
Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

Excellent article by Bill Kristol.
"I suppose it is too much to hope that the American male of the species, notoriously stubborn and boastful, will in 2026 attend to the guidance of Maya Angelou, hearken to the warning of Ellie Sattler, or listen to the remonstrance of Liz Cheney."
When It Comes to Trump, Trust Women
They have recognized the president’s toxicity from the jump. It’s time men start listening to them.

It keeps getting worse.
this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Amazing article on post-capitalism news media!
Democracy depends on an informed electorate.
Don’t we need information ecosystems more resilient to “market forces” and oligarchic capture and control?

Amazing how many people are sharing a deranged Christmas message from tfg on this platform today.
Please remember, sharing=amplifying.
May we take control of the message in 2026.

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

There was good reason George Orwell was required reading in high school.
We just had no idea that the reason would become clear decades after the actual 1984.

Great article. And very good example of how we should be talking to young men.
The radicalization of young men isn't a strictly American phenomenon. Young guys across the world support far-right politicians and causes while Gen-Z women almost universally back progressive causes. It's a gap that doesn't exist in other generations.
