There is a rise of progressive populism. Many progressive candidates desire to promote the rights of workers, unions, and the human rights of oppressed people. There are only two choices that the American people have during this decade. Either we will have democracy or tyranny. Either we will have an economy that works for all people, or one that only works for a small percentage of super-wealthy individuals in advancing oligarchy. More people are opposed to the Democratic Party's mega-donor class, which seeks centrism and radical tokenism without dealing with the core issues that Americans are dealing with. While this is going on, the MAGA movement and its followers are becoming even more nihilistic. For example, Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said that his SNAP cuts are a "pretty big win." This is sick and evil to assume that throwing 5 million struggling Americans (including families with children) off food aid to fund tax cuts for the rich is a win. It's disgraceful conduct from the Trump administration.
We witness a turning point involving data centers. In 2026, more protests and other forms of opposition have transpired against data centers. There are dozens of gas-burning power plants being built solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all ppassenger vehicles in the entire country in a single year. A data center moratorium is necessary at the least. Trump's OSHA is rolling back rules that mandate rest breaks and access to water and shade to protect workers from extreme heat on the job. Trump doesn't care about a strong environment or the rights of workers, because caring about these concepts means that you have to enforce legitimate regulations that protect the environment (and help workers). Trump has fired staff at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (this organization does great research to prevent work-related injuries and illnesses). Trump is the most anti-environment President in American history and the most anti-worker President in decades. During the Gilded Age, people fought for safer work conditions after the 1911 Factory fire in America. Helping our workers and the environment in general is sacrosanct.
U.S. Representative Max Miller of Ohio must resign now. His ex-wife, Emily Moreno and his daughter accused Miller of abuse. Emily's father accused Miller of abuse. Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham accused him of physical abuse during an earlier relationship with Miller too. Miller has vehemently denied the claims, and he has filed defamation lawsuits against his accusers. At least 2 different women accused him of abuse. While this is going on, Trump's DOJ abandons prosecution of January 6th terrorists. This is treason from the Trump administration. Trump has lied about the economy when we have high oil prices, high prices of groceries, and massive economic inequality. Even Republican Senators Roger Marshall and Shelley Moore Capito desire Max Miller to resign from office.
Now, ICE has shackled Haitians workers with GPS monitors after stripping them of their legal status. This involves hundreds of immigrants in Ohio after the Trump administration stripped them of legal status, work authorization, and in many cases, their driving privileges. Many of them are found near the First Haitian Evangelical Church in Springfield, Ohio. Some are ordered by the Department of Homeland Security "Call in Letters" ordering them appear at ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) offices within 30 days. The GPS electronic shackles are went to dehumanize, disrespect, and control Haitian migrants in a racist and xenophobic fashion. What these MAGA extremists forget that the Pilgrims never had papers. They just came to America without any paperwork whose lives are owed to the indigenous people of America. Some Haitian migrants have to walk dozens of miles to ICE offices after losing their legal right to drive. If this can happen to migrants, this can occur to American citizens. ICE has detained American citizens before, the SAVE Act can strip many Americans of the right to register to vote, etc. The lie is that the TPS means that protection must end after an arbitrary number of years, regardless of the conditions awaiting deportees. The statue has periodic reviews of the conditions of foreign states to decide whether TPS conditions are met. Haitian conditions have deteriorated. If Haitian migrants are sent to Haiti, they literally face death. Racist Neo-Nazis called the Blood Tribe marched into Springfield with automatic rifles and swastika flag in trying to intimidate people. We must defeat fascism once and for all like our ancestors did in WWII decades ago. The attacks on immigrants, black people, women, and other minorities represent the agenda of the police state no democracy.
The Tuesday primaries are over in early August of 2026. The major news is that many progressives have many political victories. One major one is how progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan defeated the mainline liberal Haley Stevens. After this, Stevens conceded, and El-Sayed gave his victory speech. He said that he wanted a unified Democratic Party to defeat Republican Michael Rogers in the Senate race. He wanted to defend the rights of Jewish people, he wanted to create solutions, and he especially called for universal healthcare to be made into a reality. He criticized Republicans using his full name in a coded way to show Islamophobia and bigotry. The race is over, and it is certainly time to defeat the MAGA GOP politicians when November 2026 (during the midterms). He talked about housing affordability, empowering people, and support unions with collective bargaining rights which is part of his political ideology. Trump has slandered Democrats as communists, haters of Jewish people, and the like. Yet, we realize that the MAGA movement is filled with fascist and authoritarian views that must be disagreed with wholeheartedly. While El-Sayed wants reconciliation and solutions, agents like Hasan Piker said that the 7000,000+ Haley Stevens voters are Islamophobic pieces which is a total lie from Piker (who glorifies tyrants and murderers like Stalin and Mao). Also, El-Sayed has the responsibility to promote the interests of black people in Michigan as black people are always crucial in getting Democrats elected to office among every level of government.
