Jack,

Last weekend, Superman soared into theaters — and brought with him something MAGA can’t stand: empathy, compassion, and the idea that immigrants belong.

James Gunn’s film isn’t just another superhero movie. It’s a bold statement that basic human kindness is a value worth fighting for — and the MAGA movement is lashing out in response.

But here’s what you didn’t see on cable news:

While right-wing pundits mocked “wokeness,” Daily Kos was exposing how MAGA extremists are actively attacking those very values — targeting immigrants, undermining democracy, and pushing cruelty as public policy. We connect the cultural backlash to the political agenda beneath it—because that’s where the real danger lies.

Mainstream media won’t tell you that story. We will.

But we can’t do it without you. Chip in $25 or whatever you can to power independent, people-powered journalism.
