Our Story
After seeing Trump on television, speaking at a rally in 2019, Serena became obsessed with politics, government, and getting Donald Trump out of office.
Serena is the owner of the website and THE Zany Progressive. She’s also the editor, adding her personal commentary before the news articles from other sources. She writes her own news articles and content as well. Are you interested in seeing your content on the site? Visit write for us to learn more. Guest contributors are always welcome. See our submission guidelines for information.
After the election and what occurred at the Capitol in 2021, Serena began posting fact-checks about fraud in the election. Friends that she went to high school with were caught up in the lies and the “Stop the Steal” movement.
A website, she thought, was the best way to comment on the news and share factual information about what was going on in Washington, D.C.
The result: A Progressive news website with a social media network (community) built-in that offers free memberships. She hopes to grow the site to become a place where progressives go to get the latest news, videos, podcasts, commentary—network and interact with other progressives. Members can utilize forums or private messaging to plan local events or protests. “If we all come together and stand united against the corruption of the establishment in D.C., we might finally see some positive change in this country.”
Earn Points and Badges
To make the community more fun for our members, they can earn points just by logging in, reading posts, commenting, and performing other daily activities. The points result in badges that will display in user profiles and in forum posts. Along with badges earned by collecting points, the administration awards badges to members who stand out in a variety of ways. For example, a member who comments on posts related to LGBTQ+ rights, or who posts about the topic in forums will be awarded a badge for being an ally of the community.
