Together, we must fight for our long-held values and work with people around the world who share them
There’s not a whole hell of a lot that’s new here, but it’s important to remember that if you’re not recognizing the country we’ve known, colonialist and imperialist as it’s been over the years, you’re not alone.
I’m not on regular social media, so I don’t really know the answer to this question: are Dems saying any of this on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. where normal people will actually see it?
I mostly hear about statements the Dems make in the NYT, WaPo, and others like The Guardian like in this case. Or worse: long speeches in the Senate or House chambers. Most folks aren’t consuming these sources…

One of my biggest frustrations with how journalism has gone is that it turns out people don’t want accurate news.
They used to, but social media has ensconced them in echo chambers where anything else is anathema.
Dems and Bernie will talk about it, but they won’t DO anything about it.
