I pointed out to my lovely wife last night that the folks wringing their hands about “population decline” are the same ones fighting against the thing that precipitated the greatest population growth in U.S. history. The greatest expansion of the middle class in world history. #NewDeal

Dems: big wins last year. Voters who swung hard to Trump⏪*incredibly rare. Trust me.

To win races in politically hostile territory -will🚨require the party to overhaul its broken brand & stale agenda by elevating new faces/leaders who promise to chart a course enough voters believe in. (Not w🚨CORP Dems -he's championed.)

To have any hope of fixing the root🚨problems that plague our democracy/ economy, Dems need a majority that lasts, like the #NewDeal C.

This is a vintage poster advertising a performance by the Federal Dance Theatre. The poster features a dynamic, stylized composition of figures depicted in shades of black, orange, and red against a gray background. The figures are clustered together in a swirling arrangement, suggesting movement and energy. A large, curved black shape forms the backdrop for the figures, and a bold, diagonally oriented text element dominates the upper right portion of the poster. The text reads: “SALUT AU MONDE” and “Adapted from a poem of that name.” Below the figures, further text identifies the production credits, including “Choreography and Direction by Tamiris”, “Music composed by Genevieve Pitot”, and “Costumes designed by Robert Byrne”, and “Don Oscar Becque Managing Producer.”

A black and white photograph depicts a group of African American children gathered around a wooden table inside what appears to be an improvised school room in a rustic cabin. The children are focused on books on the table, seemingly engaged in learning. An adult African American woman leans over the table; she is probably the teacher. The cabin's walls are made of unfinished wood, and a coat or garment hangs on a hook to the left. There's a simple wooden bench along the left wall and a patterned floral-print dress is visible on one of the people.
