@Free_Press Americans need to imagine how they would feel if they were shopping in Home Depot or Menards and a half ton warhead exploded over their heads. Hey Biden, still don’t want to allow Ukraine to target these missile sites? Why? You afraid?
@TexasObserver@stevanzetti This is all about white dominance. Why does the Texas electorate allow this? For God’s sake, there are at least as many women voters as men and whites don’t make up 100% of the electorate there.
Not many read this back in February. It’s quite consistent with my own calls for an Urgent Reforms Movement. Everyone should find some time to read it.
Biden Must Reinvent What a Presidential Campaign Is - Simon Rosenberg
@shoq I agree with what this says, but it ignores wealth inequality. If we want to move most of #MAGA from destroying the country to being a positive voice for post-capitalism economic success we must pay attention. This point actually subsumes our climate threat.
@shoq We lack the power because money controls politics and capitalism controls money. We will not do enough in time to correct our problem because the ones controlling the purse strings won’t allow it. I honestly don’t know what the threshold is for action but it may be the loss of trillions of dollars or millions of lives over a short time. Capitalism is very reactionary.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's appointment of a new defense minister, Andrey Belousov, is seen as an attempt to streamline Russia's economy and mobilize it for the war effort.
Russia's military has faced numerous supply and logistics problems that thwarted its all-out war against Ukraine from the get-go. Two years later, the problems of poor logistics and lack of strategic planning persist. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Putin
@Free_Press Maybe because Putin keeps appointing unqualified cronies into key positions? Excellent strategy to avoid assassination, but not helpful for the country.
Chinese President #Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir #Putin condemned what they cast as increasingly aggressive #US behaviour on Thursday and pledged to deepen their countries' already close defence and military ties.
"Even if you have health insurance, you might expect to be charged a copayment for some routine care, like office-based exams and consultations. But you probably don’t expect to receive a bill a few weeks later charging you an extra $100 or more...In most states, a 'hospital facility fee' can legally appear on your bill if your doctor is affiliated with a large hospital system — even if you never set foot on the hospital’s campus."
@idea_enjoyer@benroyce@bigheadtales Granted. Let me rephrase. There is no compromise with people who want to undermine and destroy the last vestiges of democracy we have. If they want to tell me why they are unhappy and work on those issues I am pleased to compromise, but so far all they want is to punish and destroy.
The Biden admin must improve its messaging & campaign ads. The pres. should have a young, charismatic orator speak for him at some events & in ads that tout the admin's many achievements, esp. CHIPS, INFRA, IRA, #climate... & goals for the future.
Biden touts his four major infrastructure & clean energy laws. Voters doubt they’re working. Even when they do see positive benefits, many voters aren’t giving the credit to Biden, a new poll shows.
@KimPerales I don’t know the origin of these “polls”, but I will no longer believe these results until I hear the polling group and its methodology. Even low information Americans know Trump was unable to pass any infrastructure bills. This was a running gag on media for two years. It is as if these people believe OJ Simpson was convicted of murder.
@RememberUsAlways Where are the hostages in Israel? Hundreds, if not thousands of them taken from Gaza and the West Bank. Where are they? Both sides have hostages and should release them. Both sides. Both sides Both sides
