Requiring ID to vote is a poll tax. It's unconstitutional.

No. ICE needs to be abolished. Even if they *could* be reformed, they have lost the respect of the people and that won't recover.

Senator @cantwell.senate.gov, we know you're in the minority, but you still have tools.

Find divisions in the GOP and lever them wide open.

Commit to democratic principles.

Lead loudly.

We need courage in the DNC right now. Your job means little if our Republic falls apart.

You're not - not even close. I'm a reasonably well-to-do cis white man. The vast bulk of the new policies won't target me.

And I'm completely heartbroken at the number of people who will suffer or die over the next four years just for the comfort and convenience of people like me.

I hate this.

I'm looking for suggestions on news sources.

With so many news broadcasts focused on their own echo chambers, what sources still subscribe to journalistic integrity?

The party needs to stop following the GOP's lead on issues that should be anathema to liberal ideals. ICE raids shouldn't be happening and no Dem should be offering any cover for it.

So glad you set up a space here. I'm planning to abandon Meta like the sinking ship it is

It's been interesting hearing talk of nullification getting thrown around. Not implausible with his national popularity. My sense of justice is getting all confused.

I think it's time for the US to admit that capitalist solutions to health insurance will never work.

We must finally recognize that socialism and capitalism are not national identities, but merely tools, and to stop relying on capitalism for problems it is not equipped to solve.

I'll be happy if we can just keep most of it over the next couple years.

Them again, maybe if it gets fully dismantled and we go back to pre-ACA premiums, there'll finally be the will to move to single payer.

Fact checking costs money and enough users of Facebook, X, and Twitter have clearly indicated that they don't care enough about facts to abandon the platforms.

I suspect a large portion prefer them fact free.
