Let's be honest about the moment we're in: it's dark. The institutions are strained, the norms are cracking, and it's easy to look around and wonder if the whole American experiment is finally running out of road. But here's the thing the doomscrollers keep forgetting — we have been here before. We've faced worse, stared down bigger, and clawed our way out of holes that made this one look shallow. A civil war. A depression. World wars. Movements that had to bleed for the rights the Constitution only promised on paper. Every single time, the smart money bet against us. Every single time, they were wrong.
This week's Elephant in the Room is Rick Wilson's case for exactly that: Americans don't fold in the dark — we do our best work there. Across 250 years of tragedies and triumphs, failures and moonshots, this country has been at its most inventive, most stubborn, and most extraordinary when the odds looked impossible. That's not a fairy tale; it's the pattern. The fear is real, the opposition is real, the darkness is real — and so is the thing Americans have always done when the lights get low. This isn't the end of the story. It's the part where we decide how it goes. This is our moment. Let's go earn it.
I got involved with Paige's campaign in NH-02 due to Maggie Goodlander's extensive AIPAC ties and her recent signature of the pro-corporate "Promise to America" pledge. She's the only candidate still able to be primaried this cycle. All three are young, working class progressive candidates running against a conservative, AIPAC slate who vote for ICE, Trump appointees, and Israel!
Help continue to the progressive moment everywhere so we can advance Medicare for All, a living wage, and a peaceful U.S foreign policy!
A young Idaho mother has been indicted for suffocating her 18-month-old twins, which she blamed on their vaccines.
Complicit in this case is the RFK Jr.-founded organization Children’s Health Defense, who prominently featured Ms. Shaw on their podcast last year -only days after the twins’ passing, to add credibility to her story. You can still find CHD on this very platform spreading caustic medical disinformation each and every day.
Routine childhood vaccines are not only effective, but extremely safe. Many have never been associated with a single death after **decades of worldwide use.**
Yet, the prevalence of disinformation spread by organizations like CHD could give anyone unfamiliar with medicine or biostatistics (like Ms. Shaw) the impression that vaccine-related deaths are so common -that no one would question that as an explanation for a double homicide.
