Hillary Clinton’s Inaugural Address
Here’s what we’d like to hear her say before Donald Trump takes office — a call for a shadow government that will watchdog everything he and Congress do.
The mafia state
America’s Snopes-like elites have no external or internal constraints. They are barbarians. We will remove them from power or enter a new dark age.
What the robots are doing to the middle class
We will need a guaranteed income, ideally through guaranteed jobs, with the implementation of a financial transaction tax, and with a commitment to alternative energy infrastructure development.
Bush’s Iraq lies, uncontested, will haunt us under Trump
There is no decision more grave than taking your nation to war. There is nothing more criminal than basing that war on lies.
Trump’s trickle-down populism
Trickle-down economics dressed in populist garb is still trickle-down economics.
How to save the planet from President Trump
It’s quite possible that we’ve lost our best chance to combat climate change, writes Bill McKibben, but we must try to contain the damage.

Bernie Sanders has spent his life fighting for progressive causes. As the world braces for the Trump presidency, Sanders shows no signs of slowing down.
Who will lead the anti-Trump resistance?
Figures like Sanders, Ellison, and Elizabeth Warren embody both the ideas and the integrity Democrats will need to mobilize their base and win back lost voters.

“Change” is neither easy nor free and that makes Trumpism, without vetted programs, no more than empty rhetoric. Who but the Trumpster makes 282 unrealistic campaign pledges?
Waiting for the barbarians
There will be rebels. They will live in the shadows. The state will have little tolerance of them. They will be our hope.
