🌍 Democracy under threat—what Brzezinski’s legacy teaches us now
Don’t miss it. America’s Town Square is open.
I was certainly no threat. I asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed. This is what the ISA has come to. The constitution is in shreds.
BigTentUSA is America’s Town Square, and it’s where the fight for democracy lives. Read it. Share it. Join us. 👊🇺🇸🔥 open.substack.com/pub/bigtentn...

The lawyer helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pick federal health officials for the Trump administration has petitioned the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, which has protected millions of people from a virus that can cause paralysis or death. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/h...
Once you realize that Trump isn’t nominating cabinet members to RUN agencies but DESTROY them, it makes more sense.
Washington Post headline: Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation Republican leaders, looking for ways to offset the cost of lower taxes, are considering changes to safety net programs for the poor.
They are offsetting the cost of lower taxes for billionaires by slashing programs for the most needy.
So much for Christian charity toward the poor.
The Trump administration’s next target: naturalized US citizens thehill.com/opinion/immi...
Good news: Ben Wikler is seriously considering a run for DNC chair, a source familiar with his thinking tells me.
(confirming Natasha Korecki tweet)
Ben would be a great DNC chair: Fully committed to deep organizing and avoids the pitfalls of factional squabbles and finger-pointing.
Democracy dies in grease.
Roger is smart

Promising poor folks that he’ll fix the economy while planning to drain every American community of resources to line the pockets of billionaires is the best con.
I wish they saw through the propaganda. It’s on me to help fix that. In my community. We organize starting now.
