If Democrats are thinking the fury of this moment will pass, then they are mistaken.
If they think it will all turn into support *for* them rather than anger *at* them, they are also mistaken.
Democrats should do something massive & tangible for people pretty much right now.

That is exactly what I'm saying. Not a "liberal" majority, by the way, but one aligned with the will of the people (63% of Americans support abortion rights) as opposed to dominance by a small minority.

What is it you would have her do? The bully pulpit is of itself a way to harness power, and she's using hers to say things that are much further out on a limb than anything her leadership is saying. She's one person out of 435.

Guts and courage award to AOC this week. At a time when Democratic leadership is facing a fundamental attack on women with mealy mouthed whining and fundraising appeals, she's courageously gone on the offensive and shown some spine.

The Constitution is not the problem. A political establishment that's become a system of legalized bribery is the problem.

There’s something liberating about being forced to give up any illusion that a system is working. It makes the total articulation of something new seem reasonable, because it is.

There should be Congressional hearings about police intimidation and violence against Black men.
I’m not naïve enough to think it’s going to happen but it needs to be said.

The US must demand an independent investigation into the death of Shireen Abu Akleh.
She was a journalist and also an American citizen.
The US can't look away from this. jstreet.org/press-releases/j…

In states all over the country, people are working hard to get elected so they can dismantle democratic institutions once they get there.
It's hard to defend ourselves against attacks on democracy when they're coming from within the government.
