A good time to remind voters who get easily disenchanted: In a lifetime there will be very few elections where you have a candidate you feel good about on all your top issues. Vote anyway, or else you're letting less conscientious people choose our officeholders.

Almost uniquely among American journalists working at major outlets, is calling his peers on their rank cowardice in the face of the emergency our nation faces.

We may well be one election away from a dictatorship, and Big Journalism's business-as-usual approach amounts to collaboration the enemies of democracy.

So, this very cool!

Just in time for the 2024 election cycle, Indivisible , has shuttered their Twitter account and relocated their social media presence to Mastodon.

Indivisible had more than 250K followers on Twitter. Let's welcome them here!
