Folks get triggered when I say I’m a progressive. I can understand that. But know, this word has a rich history, particularly the progressives in the late 19th and early 20th century who fought for peace, fought for workers rights, supported early immigrants to America, believed in science and the arts, and more.

It was a movement, community, culture, that was above and beyond political parties. It was an idea of what our future can and should be. That’s the kind of progressive I am.

Nowadays, you have “progressive politicians,” that I can sum up in one sentence:

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”

We need solutions over ideology.

People over campaign rhetoric.

Political party cliques do not change my conviction as a progressive.

Bitcoiners are forging a new path 🧡

The word has been co-opted by uneducated authoritarians and depressed internet trolls (*cough* bluesky *cough*)
