Just a reminder: Voting in the primaries is about trying to find your perfect candidate. Voting in the general is about picking the one that's better than the other.
And in 2024, one is trying to end democracy. You don't get to sit this vote out just because neither is the perfect candidate, because your inaction may mean there are no more votes, ever. #uspol
Rashida Tlaib delivered her harshest rebuke yet of the US administration during a speech at a Detroit pro-Palestine conference.
“Attacking the authority of the International Criminal Court & interfering in legal processes is nothing more than an attempt to prevent the genocidal maniac Netanyahu & his senior Israeli officials for being held accountable for crimes against humanity.
"Celebrities and billionaires have long complained that it’s just way too easy for random people on the internet to monitor how much fuel exhaust they waste as they flit through the skies via their private jets."
And just like that, Congress moved heaven and earth to accommodate them, as it always does.
Legislation just signed into law has made it exceedingly to difficult to track private jet activity
So the U.S. “advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution.” due to terrorist-organization inspired threats. Sec of State Blinken said in a statement, “people in the LGBTQ+ community continue to face insidious forms of stigma and discrimination."
Bitch, you gotta be kiddin’ me. There are currently 515 anti-#LGBTQ bills in U.S. states right now. Facing insidious forms of stigma and discrimination?
I know the Brits aren't very enthused by the idea of #nationalservice, but as an American I've always admired countries with the maturity and wherewithal to implement it. We couldn't even dip our toes into universal health care (ACA) without sparking a national anti-government rebellion.

The right to privacy is a fundamental right in this country. The discussions a patient has with her physician were protected by Roe v Wade.
This isn’t about being pro life. The republicans have shown time and time again they wouldn’t give two squirts of piss for anyone’s life. If they did, they would quit trying to defund social programs that are proven to save and improve lives of children and adults.
Joe Biden has expressed a willingness to work alongside the PARTY OF DONALD TRUMP to intimidate a legitimate court of law which is trying to defend one of the most persecuted and marginalized groups of people in modern history against a bloodthirsty genocidal war criminal and his ongoing campaign of butchery.
A campaign of butchery for which Biden has chosen to aid and abet for months.
A majority of Supreme Court Justices were appointed by Presidents who lost the popular vote.
We must abolish the antiquated and slavery-era Electoral College have a national popular vote. We can have a runoff between the top two if no candidate gets 50% in the first round.
The ICJ rulings last week as to Israel also included rulings as to Hamas; including a cease fire order and an order that Hamas release all Israeli hostages. The US through Anthony #Blinken said that Israel can ignore the ICJ rulings directed to it.
