As we enter 2026, I want to remind folks that primary elections are where voters can decide to not have to choose between the lesser of two evils in general elections.
You do not have to vote against your self interests. In fact, that’s the opposite of how a democracy works.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.
A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”
Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

If you stop giving X any reasonable content or ability for people to share there easily you will force the last hangers on for clout out by simply shutting their distribution down.
It will only be the toxic soup left, gurgling in on itself. This should be the simplest action by the journo industry

The Failures of “Centrism”
By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Watch.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.
The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.
His approval ratings are tanking.
He does not have a mandate.
Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.
He's not.

It would be nice if the Democratic Party’s message was directed towards their voters instead of attempting to rehabilitate Ronald Reagan as a way to reach out to a constituency that is opposed to everything the Democratic Party is supposed to stand for.

But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics.

These companies want to be “non-banks” that can accept deposits of your money and then not have any legal obligations to protect it—which lets them use it to speculate on crypto etc—and not have FDIC insurance. They need to kill the cfpb to do that.
