The Democratic Party prides itself on being a big tent. But when it comes to Democratic Socialists, Democrats are missing the forest for the trees.

As the old saying goes, trust no shadow after dark. Remember what Julius Caesar said as he was stabbed multiple times by those around him, ‘Et tu Brutus?’ You too Brutus, referring to his closest ally and friend Brutus, who applied the death blow.

A friend said something to me once that I have never forgotten.

WASHINGTON, DC – Signed on 15 May 2026 and released on 25 May 2026, Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, marks a significant moment in the long reckoning with slavery.
