American democracy isn't in peril, it collapsed years ago. Twin parties, each running on social issues, but lockstep in their support of oligarchs. Find your local Indivisible chapter indivisible.org or 50501 www.fiftyfifty.one

I'm still nervous about the polls. When dems are up I worry it's wrong and when repubs are up I wonder what the hell is wrong with people.

Medicare for all. Cut the Pentagon's bloated budget, lift the cap on Social Security taxes, reinstate corporate + individual tax rates that have been slashed by the corporations and billionaires that got the cuts.

They also kill small businesses to eliminate any competition, consolidate and create monopolies to drive up profits, and buy politicians to pass laws favoring themselves.

In retrospect, 1937–1969 is the exception to the Court's long history of favoring property and monied interests. The shift back began under Burger and accelerated under Rehnquist. Sad times to be an average person under today's Court. 2/2

Agreed. Americans have taken the Court for granted bc of the pro-worker rulings that began under the Hughes Court in the 1930s + the expansion of civil rights under Warren. 1/

Eh. Adjusted for inflation, air fares are significantly cheaper now. I don't understand why people don't buy the little food add-ons. For $12 you can get a fresh fruit and cheese selection or for $8 you can get salami, crackers, almonds, etc. Every airline I've flown has some variation on this.

Weirdly, the rates at which drivers are pulled over at night are proportionate to racial demographics when cops can't see into the car, but much higher for Black drivers during the day. Wait, did I say weird? I meant racist. It's the racism.

Or Americans hold out on seeking medical care because it still comes with fees and you think it's financially safer to see if this thing you have just goes away on its own.

George W Bush is publicly backing Republican incumbents who support Trump but wouldn't dare be photographed with Bush for fear of offending him. They'll gladly accept the endorsement of a former Republican president so long as Trump doesn't know about it.

The U.S. needs to kick Israel to the curb. They commit genocide with our tax dollars, enjoying universal health care, while Americans go bankrupt over medical expenses. All so Jared Kushner and pals can eventually build a seaside resort where Palestinians once lived.

"It appears that what he wants is for the Iran war to spread to the United States, so that he can then live through a 9/11 himself and enjoy a burst of popularity." One of my biggest fears since November 5, 2024.

ICE is beyond reforming. It isn't even an old agency so it's not as if the US can't get along without an unaccountable lawless agency of thugs, racists and murderers.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

1 Cosby survivor is a liar. A second one is looking for money. 4 more are looking for fame + handouts. 12 are delusional. 20 must want a class action lawsuit. 46. It took 46 women to come forward for the public to say, you know, maybe Cosby is a rapist. 1 man = 46 accusers. (60 in total.)

as they were experienced and worked very cheaply. Eventually a second wave of Zionist settlers argued they should only hire fellow Zionists to make the insular community stronger. Eventually the landless Palestinian farmers became jobless, too. So this hasn't been fair for over a century. 2/2

It actually started before 1948. The Russian Zionists moving there in the 1880s bought land from wealthy Arab families, who lived elsewhere. Poorer Palestinian farmers worked that land and many were grateful the absentee landlords were gone. The Zionists kept the Palestinians on - 1/
