I am not a conspiracy theorist by nature but I also never thought we would have an insurrection. It wouldn't surprise me if 47 did it himself to stay in power.

This is why we need campaign finance and spending reforms. Democracy is being bought and sold by those few with means to own it.

This is why funding needs to get out of politics. We can never have s level playing field as long as the wealthy can assert power like this. It would be really awesome if another provider could step into the market. But that is locked up too. You know, monopoly.

Good Ted talk right there. Clear and concise. If you choose to opt out of public education, fine. You don't get to choose to not fund it. Hard stop.

We need a Constitutionsl amendment to limit campaign donations and spending. It will help bring in more diverse candidates as well as fix the ruling class being able to buy democracy.

If we do not have Constitutional amendments to fix what allowed the current state, then we deserve to be the shithole country 47 and his circus has created.

And trickle down economics is proven ineffective and the top doesn't create the value. The workers do.

This. There are systems in place that continue to result in women being victimized. Time to change that. I am also a supporter of CRT. We can learn from practoces that are effective at dismantling institutionalized discrimination.

Spin. Lie. Deflect. Rationalize. Repeat. The playbook isn't that deep when the truth doesn't matter and the policies are lacking.

Instead of being outraged at the illegal behavior, the GOP is outages at the investigation. Classic deflection. When the rules of law are followed, everyone wins.

Start a fire to be a hero putting it out. That's unethical and the board should be replaced.

Mental health day today. Pulled weeds. Cleaned. Organized whilst listening to a variety of music options on Tidal. A rebound from waking at 5am wondering what fresh hell the regime created today.

I want real change to prevent the behavior from occuring. We have to fix what is broken to prevent it from occurring again. A rebuke is a strongly worded letter. People need to go to jail and legislation needs to occur to fix the broken infrastructure.

I remember going to town halls held by Rep. Manzullo. He tried to convince his constituents that changing from the current system was a bad idea. So much for representing the constituents.

My heart ached when a letter was sent home with my kindergartener grandchild that a "safety drill" would be occuring the next day. I knew what that meant. For him. For our society. The risk is real.

This is yet another example of how money corrupts politics. Normal people know it. Too bad the people who could do something about it have no incentive to change it.

Partisan politics is dangerous. They are the factions warned of in the Federalist Papers, IMHO. People make it their identity, even when actions don't align with values, e.g., there is nothing conservative, family values, Christian, small govt, privacy, fiscal responsibility going on now in the GOP.

Doing what right is hard. Now, others need to step up and support those who are living their values. We win when we stand together.

I couldn't agree more. Money in politics has corrupted democracy. It was lobbies. Now it is off the chain.
