The debacle reminds me of a June feature published by The Intercept, a left-leaning nonprofit, on how “meltdowns have brought progressive advocacy groups to a standstill at a critical moment in world history.” It traces a series of Green Party-like internal combustions at progressive nonprofits whose employees and members can’t stop hurling accusations at their own leaders and peers.

As a result, these once-powerful organizations have become distracted from their core missions and unable to function. They’re also squandering a critical period of media attention and increased public support for their causes, including racial justice and environmental protection. The world should be their oyster, but instead they insist on consuming themselves whole.
