News and opinion website intended to be "a progressive political organizing tool"
Reflects spectrum of views from liberal to Marxist-socialist
commondreams.org is a popular website founded in 1996 by radical activist Craig Brown "to develop use of the Internet as a progressive political organizing tool.
It not only banners the day's hottest news and commentary selected by Editor Brown but also provides a large number of hyperlinks to other leftist and liberal columnists, periodicals, radio outlets, news services, and websites.
The left-leaning sources hyperlinked by commondreams.org range from mild (e.g., Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne, Jr. and Newsweek) to radical (e.g., Noam Chomsky and Monkeyfist Collective) to explicitly Marxist (e.g., Monthly Review and Howard Zinn).
Other writers and publications whose commentaries are linked from commondreams.org include Ali Abunimah, Eric Alterman, Robert Borosage, Alexander Cockburn, Jeff Cohen, Juan Cole, Joe Conason, David Corn, Barbara Ehrenreich, Tom Engelhardt, Robert Fisk, Tom Hayden, Bob Herbert, Arianna Huffington, Sam Husseini, Jesse Jackson, Naomi Klein, Paul Krugman, Michael Lerner, Manning Marable, Michael Moore, Ralph Nader, Ted Rall, Robert Reich, Frank Rich, Arundhati Roy, Robert Scheer, Norman Solomon, Michael Tomasky, Katrina vanden Heuvel, The Black Commentator, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the Institute for Public Accuracy, The American Prospect, CounterPunch, Harper's Magazine, The Nation, Sojourners, and Z Magazine.
commondreams.org's name was inspired by a co-founder and former President of the Students for a Democratic Society, Todd Gitlin, whose book The Twilight of Common Dreams: Why America Is Wracked by Culture Wars was published in 1995, only months before Brown launched his website.
commondreams.org is closely tied to two other entities - NewsCenter, launched by Brown in May 1997, and the Progressive NewsWire, which publishes de facto press releases by leftist groups to promote their own rallies, protests and other activities.

Interestingly "free and fair elections", so it can rightly said the200 business leaders, Google, Facebook Twitter etc have established a plutocracyas they are all intentionally interfering in our elections and it's becoming more and more blatant that they consider the can control all fear people.
By Robert Longley
Updated February 10, 2021
Plutocracy is a term describing a society governed either directly or indirectly by extremely wealthy people. A common characteristic of plutocracy is the frequent enactment of government policies that benefit the wealthy, often at the expense of the lower classes. Since plutocracy is not a recognized political philosophy or form of government, its existence is rarely admitted or defended. Instead, the word is typically used in criticizing what is considered to be an unjust system.
Plutocracy Definition
Plutocracy describes a recognized type of government, such as democracy, communism, or monarchy, that either intentionally or by circumstance allows the wealthy to control most political and economic aspects of the society. Plutocracy can be created either directly by enacting economic policies advantageous to the wealthy, like investment tax credits, or indirectly by making vital social resources such as education and health care more easily accessible to the wealthy than to the less financially advantaged classes.
While plutocracy might be found to some degree in all forms of government, it is far more likely to become permanent in those that do not allow regular free elections such as totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism. In democratic countries, the people have the power to vote plutocrats out of office
While the first recorded use of the term in English dates to 1631, the concept of plutocracy has been present since ancient times. As early as 753 BCE, the Senate of the Roman Empire was controlled by a group of aristocrats whose wealth afforded them the power to elect local government officials and dictate new social policies. Other examples of historic plutocracies include pre-World War II Japan under Emperor Hirohito and the Kingdom of France before the French Revolution of 1789.
In 1913, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt wrote, "of all forms of tyranny, the least attractive and most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of a plutocracy."

One modern, formal example of a plutocracy, according to some critics,[9] is the City of London.[10] The City (also called the Square Mile of ancient London, corresponding to the modern financial district, an area of about 2.5 km2) has a unique electoral system for its local administration, separate from the rest of London. More than two-thirds of voters are not residents, but rather representatives of businesses and other bodies that occupy premises in the City, with votes distributed according to their numbers of employees. The principal justification for this arrangement is that most of the services provided by the City of London Corporation are used by the businesses in the City. In fact about 450,000 non-residents constitute the city's day-time population, far outnumbering the City's 7,000 residents.[11]
In 1998, Bob Herbert of The New York Times referred to modern American plutocrats as "The Donor Class"[27][28] (list of top donors)[29] and defined the class, for the first time,[30] as "a tiny group - just one-quarter of 1 percent of the population - and it is not representative of the rest of the nation. But its money buys plenty of access."[27]
President Theodore Roosevelt became known as the "trust-buster" for his aggressive use of United States antitrust law, through which he managed to break up such major combinations as the largest railroad and Standard Oil, the largest oil company.[21] According to historian David Burton, "When it came to domestic political concerns TR's bête noire was the plutocracy."[22] In his autobiographical account of taking on monopolistic corporations as president, Roosevelt recounted

COMMON DREAMS TO PROTEST SESSIONS FIRING - THURSDAY AT 5 PM
Common Dreams is organizing protests because of Jeff Sessions' firing. Coming from such a left-wing group (see below), this may seem strange. But if you look at the arrow on the tweet from supporter Anna Galland, you'll see that she's no fan of Sessions. She and other protesters assume it means the ending of the Mueller investigation, which is looking at "Trump's crimes."
Common Dreams' website says their funding comes "thousands of small donations." Yeah, and maybe a few really big ones, too.

Here's what leftist writer Tony Logan, banned in 2008 from their site, has to say:
The biggest liberal website out there online, Common Dreams, informs us with its headline today that 'OBAMA'S PROGRESSIVES: HOLDING, PUSHING, TUGGING'. Common Dreams has become a major resource for the US Left and liberal community in the last couple of years through its posting of many important commentaries by Leftists and liberals plus its convenient links that many of us use quite often. Unfortunately there is a big weakness of the site, and that is their censorship of commentaries, writers, and readers WHO ARE NOT COMPLETELY 100% ON BOARD WITH THEIR 'SUPPORT THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS', PRO-DEMOCRATIC PARTY POINT OF VIEW.
