If the grassroots can come together to protect the census, the social power developed is likely to boost other progressive campaigns – from teacher strikes to immigration reform to the mobilization of minority voters in 2020.
Based on recent labor activism by teachers and workers, there is a clear opportunity to build a “mass movement from below” and bring a bottom (99%) versus top (1%) progressive strategy to the 2020 elections.
If a future President Sanders or Warren were able to take on Big Ag and implement programs to help small farmers and rural communities, it would shake up the politics of rural states and the country as a whole.
The crises in rural America – economic, agricultural and climate – cry out for progressive policies and therefore open the door to connecting with large numbers of rural voters.
Recent strikes in Erie County, Penn., and New England are evidence that workers in the private sector are beginning to exercise their strike muscles again – and reawakening the labor roots in the Democratic Party.
Today's explosion in worker actions reveals a broad opposition to neoliberalism that is more like a crowd-sourced and coordinated dance than a disciplined march. And it shows no signs of slowing down.
The successful L.A. teachers strike helps move the balance of power in California and nationally toward public education, and against both austerity and the privatization of education through charter schools.
The Green New Deal will be the equivalent of the New Deal of the 1930s, the Civil Rights era, and the Moonshot of the 1960s – all at the same time. At its core, it is a grand story about American renewal.

Formally democratic institutions can be severely weakened by those willing, even eager, to betray democratic principles in order to maintain power.
Biden cared more about the appearance of having an independent DOJ untainted by politics than he did about holding an unrepentant criminal ex-president accountable.
The American people clearly spoke, and the drubbing Democrats received requires looking beyond just issue polls, voting patterns, campaign strategy, or get-out-the-vote tactics.
The recent decisions by two of the most influential national newspapers of record to not publish their endorsements of Vice President Kamala Harris says a lot about how seriously they take Trump’s threats to democracy and his promises of vengeance against his enemies.
On the eve of the historic November vote, it seems important to ask: What's wrong with men, how did we get here, and can we change this?
As Trump’s campaign grows increasingly bizarre, his team appears to be more tightly controlling his movements and carefully scripting his public appearances to minimize the negative impact his erratic behavior may have on undecided voters in swing states.

The country has never moved as close to the course it took under Benito Mussolini as it is doing now — and even if Meloni is not a neo-fascist politician, she has put herself in a position to appeal to and broaden fascism's political base.

Former President Donald Trump is now openly fantasizing about deputizing death squads against Americans.
Throughout history, fascist governments have had a similar reliance on the use of lies as a weapon to take and retain power.
