Words can lie but actions never do. When he had the chance to do the right thing and stand with the working class, he whiffed. I prefer friends that have my back.

"The jury is still out on whether the traditional union is necessary for the new workplace," Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich said in an interview.

He refused to help striking coal miners also. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

When Robert Reich was Secretary of Labor, locked out Staley Starch workers from Decatur, IL and their Congressman, Glenn Poshard petitioned Reich and President Clinton for help. They refused.

FWIW the popular vote in 2016 proved that the country was ready to elect a woman president.

Marcia Brady certainly thought so.

Centrists are always up to fight the “tankies,” it makes them feel virtuous.

Friday and Saturday will be here soon. Enjoy the weather. We are not going to have warm days for the next few months.

If you don’t know who Karla Jurvetson is:

Gosh, I am so glad Democrats don’t suck up to billionaires with Napa wine caves or sugar mamas like Karla Jurvetson. Nancy Pelosi did it the right way. truthout.org/articles/pel...

Go read Arthur Schlesinger Jr.’s Cycles of American History which will forever break you of the habit of cyclical history. The Reagan Revolution was slated to end generations ago.

FWIW, the Democratic establishment is even worse than the party that shivved Bernie Sanders’ insurgent campaigns twice, since it has spent the past couple of years crushing dissent against a genocide in Gaza. Were the Clintons, Biden, and Harris praising Mamdani or Dick Cheney yesterday?

1/2 Nevertheless there are still significant barriers for a pathway for progressivism within the Democratic Party. Hakeem Jeffries, Steny Hoyer, Jim Clyburn, & DCCC still have their fingers on the scale for the House. Chuck Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, & DSCC serve the same purpose in the Senate.

If a foreign power did to us what our elites have done to us over the past several decades there would be outrage. I don’t mean the corruption involved in our deindustrialization, but also degradation of our environment, our health, diet, pollution, etc.

It doesn’t matter if Mamdani proves it, centrist liberals automatically reject any theory coming from “tankies.”

If history is any guide, the Democrats will increase ICE's budget by 20% a year. www.stephensemler.com/p/boosting-i...
