Good news: Commie American Federation of Teachers finally dumps slavery propaganda as number one agenda item, replaces it with climate crisis propaganda
Progress, as in progressivism (a word my white privileged, carbon-consuming, capitalist spell checker underlines in red, appropriately).
Hey Hey, Ho Ho, private homeownership has got to go, says anti-American Commie UCLA professor in The Nation
[W]e need to do more than upgrade the powerlines or stage a public takeover of the utility companies. We need to rethink the ideologies that govern how we plan and build our homes. ... The valorizing of homeownership and property rights results not only in increased exposure to climate-change-fueled fires, but also in our inadequate responses to them. ... This is the Jeffersonian agrarian ideal, transmuted through the urban, petrochemical century. Cheap energy—both the monetary price of subsidized gasoline and the hidden costs of fossil fuels—and the idealization of individual homeownership have created the scorching landscapes we face today. Cheap energy is untenable in the face of climate emergency. And individual homeownership should be seriously questioned. ... Even with the threats of climate change and rampant fire looming, the ideals of the American dream that have been instilled for more than 150 years will be difficult to dispel. ... We need another kind of escape route—away from our ideologies of ownership and property, and toward more collective, healthy, and just cities.

A Catholic America is a supine America
Catholicism breeds incapacity for rebellion. The American Revolution wasn't called the "Presbyterian Rebellion" for nothing.

Pay increases for the bottom 80% of workers under Trump still lag those under George W. Bush at 2.9% vs. 3.2%
Average increases year over year through November 2019 and all of 2017 and 2018 average just 2.9% vs. Bush 43's 8-year average of 3.2%.
Yet all we hear is how this is the greatest economy ever, the greatest economy in decades, yada yada yada.
It's all BS.
It's the best economy in about eight years for your average worker, but still not as good as it was under Bush 43.
