The right has no ideas beyond vilifying out groups. No solutions. Just hate.

Maybe your party should put up more of a fight, Senator

Senator, this is one you can and should argue on its merits, not its cost. Senseless war, unprovoked, and murderous. That’s enough to object.

Apparently there are people who watched stuff like Twilight Zone and Black Mirror and thought, “We should try that!”

Can’t we send the billionaires and their families first?

Absent any real opposition, and with the media controlled by wealth hoarders, a good chunk of Americans are deceived.

Unlawful, yes. Unnecessary, clearly. And also immoral. Don’t forget immoral.

Desperately trying to reach the consultants on a weekend must be so difficult!

If you have no empathy (cuz you’re a sociopath) and you avoided service thanks to supposedly bad feet, death and war are just numbers and impressions to you. War mean expending munitions, which means more lucre for those friend who make that stuff.

Maybe get your party to stop angling for some future potential election, and do something dramatic to meet the needs of the moment, Senator.

Anyone else tired of the Epstein class choosing to murder people for no reason, globally and domestically? Time for regime change?

What the genocide in Gaza reinforced is that there are no "civilians" when it comes to Israel and the United States. The rest of the world learned the same lesson and the consequences are going to be felt across the world.

Would add that this is also terrifying if you don’t particularly believe in free enterprise

It is completely reasonable to email your dean and/or Provost to ask what is being done at your university to stop this from happening to your students

Abolishing ICE is a centrist position. We should be talking about abolishing the CIA, the FBI, and completely reworking the Pentagon.

I wonder if any b-schools, when teaching budgeting to their students, mention that these are docs infused with moral decisions. Furthermore I wonder if that morality goes anywhere beyond ‘doing what’s right for the shareholder’

Union without solidarity to other unions is not really a union, is it? Cop unions are just gangs.

The question. Should not be why Rep. Ilhan Omar was yelling during the SOTU. The question is why weren’t ALL the Dems??

You work to help reasonable people understand that systems must change.

Not to be confused with those who see that the two party system is corrupt, both parties are captured by the ultra wealthy, and the media treats govt like sports, and so choose not to lend their support (vote).

Also, know that parties have been gaslighting voters about what is and is not possible for decades. AIM for real positive change to this broken system, and we have a chance at making it happen. We don’t have to go back to a horrible status quo.

Also do not befriend, feed, or otherwise encourage cops.
