again i will say this today, the greatest threat to democracy, individual freedoms, and most citizens personal safety is not islam, socialism or wokeism, or someone's sex or sexuality. The greatest threat today is "christian" nationalism.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

So very true - but if we wait to amplify the voices we want to hear, then we'll be right back to "there are two choices on the menu." If you want a different solution and other candidates, you need to get out there now and start working to get them heard.

Agreed - I love how the article says investors are waiting on the next set of job numbers to react to this info... As if the installed MAGA guy from the Heritage Foundation is going to say anything other than 'job growth is strong and getting stronger' (with no data to back it up).

Still waaaaay too early to be talking nominees - especially as it just degenerates into tearing folks down and infighting. There will be *plenty* of time for that shit later. Until then, while we still can, we have to band together and resist with everything we have

It's good to see this in the Times, and being promoted by former President Obama, but I'm horrified that pieces like this are so rare in our media - and then only covered as an opinion piece. This is a five alarm 'we're an authoritarian country now' warning and it may already be too late

Hmmm - No problem at all to refund $10 a month to viewers, but if I ask them for a channel selection that doesn’t include Fox to begin with (or the other propaganda networks like NEWSMAX, or OAN), they’re all like, “We can’t do that, it’s impossible to unbundle!”
