The Court has delivered the American public a piercing wake up call, attacking not simply the reproductive freedom of women but the very idea of liberal democracy.

It is not too late for Committee leadership and Democratic party leadership to wake up. But time is fast running out.

The striking graduate student workers are doing something all too rare on campuses and in our society: they are joining together to speak up for themselves, and refusing to back down in the face of corporate condescension and bullying.

The battle before us is a "now or never" fight for democracy in this nation.

While the rhetoric was strong, make no mistake: what's before the Democrats is a political project. And the question remains: will the president—and the party—do what it takes to vigorously pursue this project?

Trump and his supporters do not mean by "democracy" a liberal democracy. They mean the popular sovereignty of "true Americans."

Nothing is more important to the future of the republic and to the future of the Democratic party than voting legislation.

A collective statement locates Trumpism and the Republican Party as twin dangers to U.S. democracy, and it calls for serious voting rights legislation and a broader effort to defeat these twin dangers.
