Robert: I respect your insights, but: What are 3 essential things that need to be done to change this system? 1. 2. 3. Identifying something as amorphous as a Rigged System without offering accompanying change actions is like a Lamentation of Job. Let's get to HOW TO CHANGE!

Proof of utter batshit crazy gaslighting, lies, animal-farm style up-is-down totalitarian communications. Gift to the American People? No! A gift to 1,000 US billionaires. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not just cruel, but a crime against humanity, a crime against all conscience. No words can describe such horrible acts.

At the same time that Republicans are working to kick 16 million people off of their health insurance, far-right justices have given states the green light to defund critical health providers like @ppfa.org, making it harder for people to get the health care they need. Shame.

The Supreme Court just let the Trump admin deport migrants to third countries without hearings—even after it broke court orders twice. No reasoning. No due process. No justice. The rule of law is on that flight too. #SCOTUS #DueProcess Full Article: www.facebook.com/share/p/15ba...

Native Americans were unable to control European immigration centuries ago. Look what has happened to the Americas and to the world.

Use of the phrase “Big Beautiful Bill” shows you how eagerly the political press slurps up whatever disinformation branding Trump comes up with.

Yes. Biden not perfect, but actually concerned about doing good, needed, science-based things in this country.

The Trump Admin continues to attack our independent judiciary — this time taking the unprecedented step of suing every federal judge in Maryland. I made clear to AG Bondi yesterday: the DOJ is aiding and abetting Trump's assault on due process and our Constitution. We cannot stand for it.

The US Senate is rushing to finish their horrible bill so they don't have to face constituents over the Fourth of July holiday break. Heaven help them from listening to their constituents. If they do slash Medicaid, SNAP, and other good things, they will have served their last terms: elections!

I *am* alarmed by rising antisemitism--not "on the left" or on the right, but in the air, everywhere. Which is *why* NYT inaccurately describing Mamdani as "anti-Israel" in a news article upsets me. We Jews have real problems. Mamdani, who opposes Israeli Right's idea of Israel, isn't one of them.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

The daily fear of simply living in LA, under a constant threat from ICE, has upended life for undocumented immigrants. For many, it means sheltering in place—avoiding work, social life, or even a walk outside.

Florida is building a new migrant detention center nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” converting an airfield deep in the Everglades into one of the Trump administration’s most ominous additions to its immigration crackdown. FDT!

National Weather Service radar data not available due to technical difficulties. Like...so many experts have been let go. Disgraceful, cheap undermining of great services by the 47 Republican administration. Another move to eliminate public competition and privatize assets and expertise.

Why should we not sympathize with all innocent victims regardless of "side"? It diminishes us to not empathize. That's why we now have a party in power of those incapable of empathy. Group-think and nationalism/tribalism is a root of evil in all groups, societies, civilizations.
