The Democrats just giving up on universal healthcare is one of the most shameful decisions they have ever made
This is not the radical position. Being pro universal healthcare is not radical. You allowed it to be branded a radical position when you gave up pushing for it decades ago.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

ICE using military-chartered flights to deport Africans is not “law enforcement”...it’s political theatre with human toll. When borders are militarized...people become props. This must end. Propaganda doesn’t justify tearing lives apart. Many of these planes are un-trackable.
