We are thrilled that Indiana state senators made the right choice today! Thank you to everyone who showed up and stood up for fair maps and democracy. The joy in the Statehouse was palpable.

Farmers are celebrating the bailout as “Christmas coming early.” Meanwhile, many of the same voices insisted students didn’t deserve loan relief because they should “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.”

It's been almost three weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Heather Cox Richardson,
referring to McClure Magazine around 1900. No, it isn't writing about the current times - but we can certainly see that capitalist greed has long been pushing the government toward corruption.
We are the the troops; we are the vehicles of change. We must speak up and VOTE.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy.

Enough to power 23 million homes!

U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.
