Have you ever asked yourself: why have things gotten so bad? We have! And we keep asking it.Politics in the United States is broken. Over the last 50 years, politicians have become less and less responsive to the needs of the people they represent, our systems fail to protect regular people, and ideologies of hate and division have found a foothold. Common wisdom and traditional news media insist on maintaining the status quo. WE DISSENT! And we hope you join us! Our collective dissent may help stop the American descent into fascism and the destruction of our communities.
