Is someone making a list?

There are daily decisions made by this Administration that are unjust, cruel, destructive and just plain crazy. From ending environmental protections, to removing Nursing from a designated profession, to overruling CDC science with dangerous nonsense, to making women and people of color disappear from official history (this just the last week)
So is anyone making a list so that the next Democratic President can rectify this insanity? Or will it take decades to recover from the Orange Menace?

1. The filibuster is killed deader than a doornail
2. The court is expanded to a minimum of 13 justices
3. We elect Dem majorities and a Dem President who will govern fearlessly and unhesitatingly, eschewing performative centrism, pragmatic incrementalism, and especially the “Abundance Agenda”.

Dammit if I know what works on the brain-addled American public.

But I really like the message from Bernie, AOC and other progressives who are wow'ing the crowds across the country.

AFAICT (and this is personal opinion)

• Indivisible IS the Democratic party, while so-called leaders are doing "who the hell knows what". Do you think that most of our legislators would have half an ounce of spine without all the No Kings demonstrations? I say emphatically, NO.

Leaders lead.

• The ONLY people advancing long-held and popular (yes, popular) goals are the progressives.

I have been posting for a long time what this message is. This is from an email I got, on economic issues, from Bernie. It is NOT a complete platform, but guess what? People only seem to care when their pocket is picked.

To wit ... does this register? Tell me. Yes or no.
