Every time I am forced to use self-checkout, I screw something up. I have a BS and two masters degrees. I do not have the education or experience to learn every retailersโ€™ system quirksโ€ฆ IKEA is THE worst. So many nuances about how to scan items.

Please stop saying โ€œthey had to vote to open the govt.โ€ No they didnโ€™t. Remember that Trump WANTS the federal govt to stay ineffective and dysfunctional. The only move Dems have is forcing the Republicans to OWN that position. The RParty was feeling the heat, but the 8 traitors gave them relief

roberthubbell.substack.com/p/the-sellou...
They turned their back on the Constitution and Democratic faithful by funding a government that is being run like the personal fiefdom of a petty king. They are enabling Trump to continue his lawless regime. They are complicit in what comes next under Trump

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

I moved out of Florida and so did the rest of my family. We could lose all assets instantly and never be whole again. Insurance doesnโ€™t pay out claims, FEMA could disappear any day. Not a good investment.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itโ€™s about peopleโ€™s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who havenโ€™t seen yet because itโ€™s barely made it out of local news.

Free speech censorship
Political hit lists
Detentions w/o due process
Internment camps
Military in our streets
Corrupted law enforcement
Demonization of vulnerable communities Coercion of private institutions
MSM amplifying state propaganda

We are not barreling towards fascism.

We are in it.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israelโ€™s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
