@ifpg.bsky.social seeks to understand & address foundational challenges facing our country. Robert P. Jones of PPRI has done a magnificent job in "Backslide: Reclaiming a Faith and a Nation After the Christian Turn Against Democracy" explaining the Christian Right & Christian nationalism's impact.

In a recent discussion with screenwriter and political strategist @billyray5229.bsky.social, he highlighted some surprising data. When asked what percentage of the population was transgender, Americans polled said 21%. The actual number is >1%. The pattern holds for other minority groups as well.

Othering is a classic tactic to divide and distract. New research from @hartresearch.bsky.social & PSG Consulting shows how it's being used in politics — and how shared values are being overshadowed by division. Learn more & watch the discussion: www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/the...

I recently spoke with @tiffanymuller.bsky.social, President of @endcitizensunited.bsky.social, about sobering new research revealing that 89% of voters believe addressing government corruption should be a priority for Congress. Winning back voters’ trust in this area isn’t going to be easy.

We’re often told America is deeply divided. But on issues that affect daily life, many agree. As Billy Ray explains, voters support higher wages, climate action, infrastructure and taking on Big Pharma. The problem isn’t the issues — it’s that Democrats have failed to clearly say what they’re for.

“Garbage in, garbage out.” I recently spoke w/ @beyer.house.gov on new research from PSG Consulting on ideological bias in AI training data, and why what goes in ultimately shapes what comes out.

How did we reach a point where we must march in the streets to protest authoritarianism in America? Our latest #FirstMondaysWebinar explored how powerful interests spent decades reshaping culture, defining people’s realities and influencing how they vote. www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/ret...

A narrative to move us forward in 2026: “We the people — & we the people means all the people.” In this #FirstMondaysWebinar clip, Andy Bernstein describes America’s 250th as a chance to reclaim patriotism from the Right as something powered by everyday people. www.psgconsulting.com/videos/v/sha...

For good reason, the Big Betrayal Bill isn't supported by the majority of Americans. Historic cuts to Medicaid & SNAP will leave millions without basic necessities. And now, many of those who stand to gain the most from the bill oppose it. ⬇️ www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Innovating for the Public Good’s new research details how the Big Beautiful Bill (AKA the Big Betrayal Bill) doesn’t just slash funding for vital social programs — it adds a maze of bureaucratic red tape that will leave millions at risk of losing essential benefits.

Today, #Ukraine commemorates the #Chornobyl catastrophe. In April 1986, any mention of the disaster was quickly suppressed by Moscow. People paid with their lives for the delayed response. In february 2025, a russian drone struck the anti-radiation shield over the reactor unit 4. 📹
