Yep. I used to be taller. 43 years as an educator, still deeply concerned about the future of public schools.

I want a clear definition of โ€œworking people.โ€ what are the qualifications for one to be included in this classification. Works with hands, no college degree, makes X amount of money, belongs to a union. Letโ€™s be specific here or drop the labels. Labels mean we all have to pass the purity test.

โ€ผ๏ธ โ€œThe displayed panels represented a history that we can never forget & from which we can learn, especially now that differences in the world are ever more magnified. They fought for a freedom that they did not have themselvesโ€

โ€ผ๏ธ Urgent appeal to be made to ABMC & US ambassador for their return.

A Dutch province has asked the US ambassador in the Netherlands to return two panels about African American soldiers to the visitors center of the Netherlands American Cemetery, located in Margraten (Limburg). The two panels were recently removed by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC).

How about we raise the pay for lawmakers so that they arenโ€™t lured into greed. Thinking CThomas who is clearly corrupted by money.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Elise Stefanik fuses corporate greed, political power, and Americaโ€™s gun crisis into one self-serving machine that profits from bloodshed โ€” a full blown deadly cocktail.

Before anyone gets mad at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, listen to Kate. Justice Jackson didnโ€™t side with Trump: she issued a temporary stay to prevent a rushed ruling that could let presidents exploit shutdowns to bypass Congress. Her move protects SNAP recipients & constitutional checks & balances

All it took was a government shutdown to get Trump to move closer to a single payer universal health care system.

Term limits exist in several states like mine, Virginia, where a governor can only serve one term at a time. that doesnโ€™t feel undemocract. The president cant do but 2. Term limits for congress could be set at 8, senators at 3. Wholeheartedly I agree, pay them more so corruption doesnโ€™t creep in.
