The Democratic Party is becoming harder to believe in — there’s no unifying theme, no shared ethos.
We need a party with a North Star, some shared set of principles through which we can evaluate performance.
I don’t know what the right answer is, but we need themes to rally around, stuff like:

I mean at this point the only viable option are the Progressives.
Centrists have to get off the fence.
Millennials and gen-z have to lead it and we (I'm gen-x) have to get out of the way.
Feckless is literally the word that describes the Democrats.
Zero f**king spine...

Yeah the Democrats are officially cooked. I've been an Independent for a minute now because I recognized what we are witnessing now. They don't actually represent you. They are Republicans Lite. Have been for decades. They represent their donors.

If this deal is what it is starting to look like I will likely never support the Dems again until they remove every one of these spineless clowns.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Based on data it seems that the best bet for an economy that works are mixed economies. But we have people on both sides of the debate who desperately need their "team" to win.
Don't agree with Murphy on many things, but this is a good watch.

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

That sounds like a good statistic until you realize that in 2024 DC had 12 straight days without a homicide and it didn't require federal troops and around 1-2 million dollars a day...so there is that.
