Progressive Breakfast: The Shutdown Debacle: Trump and the Politics of Hate

Image
MORNING MESSAGE Robert Borosage The Shutdown Debacle: Trump and the Politics of Hate The GOP’s shameful treatment of DREAMers isn’t accidental or random. It exemplifies the repugnant preying on racial fears that is a core strategy of Donald Trump’s Republican Party. We must build a broad majority that rejects that politics and its practitioners.

The bad news streaming through our media in 2017 has been relentless. However it doesn’t tell the full story. Beyond the headlines, there have countless amazing social movement struggles in different regions of the world that deserve to be celebrated. Here are ten stories...
