Check out Jon Shelton's new book. It explains why so many working people feel disaffected by our politics today.
If we want to save our democraacy we need to prioritize good jobs and economic security for all Americans whether they have a college degree or not.

Absolutely
One of the most underreported stories this week was the absolutely horrifying derailment of a train carrying toxic chemicals in Ohio.
That same railroad helped kill a federal safety rule and fought off a shareholder initiative that could have required company executives to “assess, review, and mitigate risks of hazardous material transportation.”
Amazing report from @LeverNews

Republicans ask why Democrats don't go to the border.
Why don’t they go to Jackson, Mississippi and Flint, Michigan and Merrimack, New Hampshire?

Lord. “The Kite Runner?????”
New: A Florida school district with 48 schools hosting 50,000+ students just released a new list of books to be removed from all libraries.
The list ranges from Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner," to Sarah J. Maas's "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series.

WW2 would not have been won without Russia. But let's read a little history. Afterwards Churchill saw Stalin for who he was and FDR took a while. The fact that Russia was pivotal to winning the war does not mean Stalin turned out to be a good guy. But I understand the sensitivity
