By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.
They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.
Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Do you know the Herzog Foundation? They represent a Missouri family worth close to a billion dollars. They send taxpayer money to private religious schools and they don’t like anyone who stands up to them.
Not one single dime of taxpayer money should go to private religious schools.

Random reminder: I've been here since May of last year. It's gratifying to see how many have joined this platform since.
Here's to hoping we can continue to use this platform to build worker power and help create an economy where gains are widely shared in 2025 and beyond.
