In the wake of the election, some Democrats (and unfortunately people on this site) have accused progressive Dems of hurting the party’s performance by embracing a progressive agenda. There are a lot of problems with this lazy analysis, but I want to...

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone on this site for unifying against trump in the lead-up to the general election. With the exception of a few trolls (promptly sent to BojoTown), moderates and progressives here agreed to halt any arguments about...

www.commondreams.org/… Apparently our nefarious secret plan is… Helping people. Huh. To be more serious for a moment, I’m glad that Democrats are being pro-active on policy matters even while trump flails wildly. We shouldn’t just rely on him shooting...

- When my son Augustus was born on Aug. 3, 1999, we chose his name in part because of the month, and in part because we had finished reading a book about Caesar Augustus, Pax Romana, and the stability that came from chaos for 200 years. Two years and a...70 comments 127 Recs
- On Thursday morning, Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced a resolution aimed at blocking over $735 million in arms sales to Israel, including sales of precision-guided bombs like those currently being used in airstrikes against positions in Gaza. On the...167 comments 145 Recs
- Why is a relatively recently founded organization, aimed at fighting anti-Semitism and all hate, receiving money from the avowedly anti-Muslim Clarion Project? While anti-Semitic hate crimes in this country have increased over the past several years,...3 comments 3 Recs
- Police reform today has become a hot -- and controversial -- political topic. It’s import to understand why reform efforts, as commonly understood, are destined to fail in poor and destabilized communities of color. Just as slavery, surplus labor, and...22 comments 1 Recs
- The Biden administration has continued to refuse to outright terminate the Stephen Miller-pushed order that has used the novel coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to quickly deport hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers. But in negotiations stemming...6 comments 55 Recs

- NYT: You know it’s publish the any old tripe time when the Israeli Palestinian conflict heats up yet again. Now who do you turn to? There must be a neoconservative ready to spout his foreign policy fantasies based upon some assumption of his political...201 comments 103 Recs
- Some historical terms should not be used lightly. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used the term Apartheid to describe the Israel/Palestine reality, this shocked some people. I hate the word Apartheid as it brings back to too many precise historical racial...7 comments 20 Recs
- Since the conflict between Israel & Palestine was re-ignited, the Biden Administration has done its best to avoid taking action save for blocking a Resolution in the UN Security Council, and has studiously avoiding engaging on the issue publicy. Even...38 comments 28 Recs
- I was a nice Jewish girl. I went to synagogue on holy days and to Hebrew School three times a week through high school. I believed that another Holocaust could happen at any time, and that only Israel could save the Jewish people. I was a Zionist. Now...389 comments 415 Recs
