It's very clear that the right thing for Obama to do was to be the caricature the right wing thought him to be and imprisoned every single person who gave cover for the Iraq War

If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each. The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off. This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive". We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

It’s so funny how the same centrists arguing Democrats should pivot away from identity issues are also incredibly weak on economic issues. Rahm is like, let’s stop talking about bathrooms and start talking about means tested tax credits.

A secret third thing; an asset that is owned by its resident but that is not designed as a vehicle for wealth. A decommodified commodity.

In Montpelier a camping ban was implemented on the city owned golf course so a former city councilman could move forward with building a pickleball court.

Just five hours ago Palestinian journalist, Yahya Sobeih, shared a photo of him holding his newborn child for the first time and welcoming her into this world. He was murdered just hours later in the marketplace.

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.

If I could make a main point here, it's that Democrats ignored popular demands to defund the police and abolish ICE and, instead, funded a fascist police force that is now perfectly happy to do what they always do. Note the crickets from local LEO. The National Sheriffs Association was gaslighting.
