Check this out, John:

Justice Democrats Executive Director Alexandra Rojas just had her newest op-ed published today on the front page of The Guardian, and it’s an important read.

It’s now been more than 100 days since Donald Trump returned to the White House, and Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer have utterly failed to meet the moment.

In just the first three months of Trump 2.0, we’ve witnessed Trump, billionaire Elon Musk and DOGE, and the rest of this far-right administration take a chainsaw to the economy and our federal workforce, our most basic constitutional rights, regulations that protect our environment, health, and safety, and so much more.

But instead of fighting back tooth and nail at every step, blocking nominees and must-pass spending bills, Democratic leaders have simply sat back and watched, and in some cases even enabled it.

As Alex notes, the absence of true oppositional leadership has been deafening. After spending an entire campaign cycle naming Trump as an existential threat to our democracy and rule of law – which he is – the party’s leadership has folded at the first chance to wield the power they have, revealing hypocrisy and cowardice.

That’s why Justice Democrats is working to change that by recruiting and supporting progressive, working-class leaders to challenge corporate, Do-Nothing Democrats in the 2026 primaries.

Are we going to elect more multimillionaires backed by corporate lobbies to play possum in the face of fascism, or are we going to elect people who will fight to fix America’s crises with the urgency of someone who has lived through them?

A new world needs new leaders. The 2026 cycle presents a historic opportunity for generational and working-class transformation in the Democratic Party and in our politics.

We just launched our first candidate of the cycle, Donavan McKinney in Detroit, and we plan on more to come — but our ability to take on and defeat the Democratic establishment depends directly on how much we raise from grassroots supporters like you.

Please, if you can afford to do so today, will you split a donation between Justice Democrats and our first new primary challenger of the cycle, Donavan McKinney in MI-13, who is running to unseat a multimillionaire missing in action?
