From now on, "Genocide Joe" will get you blocked. One can be critical of Joe Biden's policies over the conflict in #Gaza without repeating Russian propaganda. He can't just pick up the phone and order Bibi to stop, and Bibi has already stated he would refuse such orders. And I'm not going to throw women, gays, trans, immigrants, Ukraine, or anyone else under the bus just because I'm disappointed in his Israel policy. I've made up my mind.

Eight out of the top ten states that had the highest #COVID19 death rates voted for #Trump in 2020. The other two -- #Georgia and #Arizona. The vaccine denial coming out of FOX News and other right-wing media outlets significantly contributed to Donald Trump's defeat. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/6/2239188/-How-The-Right-Wing-Media-Killed-Its-Own-Audience-To-Own-The-Libs?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

Whether or not Hillary Clinton would have won if people had known about the hush money payments is a very big "if." If we want to find out if people would have changed their minds over this, we have to talk to people. But Trump has formed such a cult that I suspect most people would not have changed their votes over this. In their minds, the media is the enemy of the people and reports that Trump made hush money payments would have been confirmation. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/14/2235127/-So-Hillary-Clinton-Was-Cheated?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

An #Ohio woman who left a toddler at home to go on a 10 day vacation has been sentenced to life in prison after the toddler died. There was no excuse for what the woman did. But this was a tragedy waiting to happen. She had depression and mental health issues. #MedicareForAll will mean people can get help without charge and without the stigma. And Ohio was a forced pregnancy state at the time, which means that unwanted children are born & subject to abuse like this. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/19/ohio-toddler-murder-vacation-kristel-candelario/

Paul Krugman, like most voters, have short memories. As recently as 1996, rural voters went for Bill Clinton. But we need leaders who will stop selling us out:
--Many people left the Democrats over NAFTA. It's not so much about the money as the loss of identity and community. Hillary's candidacy was a painful reminder.
--While Biden's economy is welcome news, we can't ignore peoples' real concerns. Like corn prices plunging.

The problem is that Putin cannot be trusted to keep his word. One possibility: Russia keeps Crimea, Donetsk & Luhansk become independent and serve as buffers, and #Ukraine remains independent with the present borders & is allowed to join the EU and NATO. Frozen Russian assets are seized & used to rebuild Ukraine. The other alternative is to send F-16's, ATAMCS, and risk escalation. If this is what people support, you have to be willing to die for it. https://www.thenation.com/article/world/russia-ukraine-diplomacy/

Bernie Sanders tried to warn us in 2016. Many bridges like the Francis Scott Key Bridge don't have adequate protection against ship strikes. And we need to look at how the ship was manufactured and the company's safety record. There is no way the power should have been lost on that ship. A recent piece in the NYT came out on Boeing's willingness to take shortcuts for the bottom line. I suspect their behavior is hardly unique. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/3/28/2231894/-Container-Ship-Dali-Power-Failure-What-Happened?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web

I'm wondering if "Genocide Joe" is Russian propaganda brought to you by RT and other Russian propaganda outlets along with closet Trump supporters. The people pushing it lack a basic familiarity with our political system. Joe Biden can't just make a phone call and order Bibi to stop. That's what dictators do. You want to see NATO destroyed, Russia in Paris, forced pregnancy laws, gay marriage bans, book bans, Muslim bans, deportation police on every corner? Your move.

In #Alberta, the Battle River Railway Coop is unique in that it is farmer-owned. This ensures that farmers are able to get their goods to market. The problem with our rail system was that it was owned by corporations. When they could no longer justify it by the bottom line, they tore up the rail lines, gutting local economies in the process. Reviving Rural America requires local ownership, not corporations. #Canada https://geo.coop/articles/battle-river-railway-co-op

While the record $10 billion budget for #NewMexico is great and proof that Democrats put the money in when possible, a large chunk of that is dependent on fossil fuel revenues. In order to phase out fossil fuels and bring about a #GreenNewDeal, states have an obligation to wean themselves off fossil fuel revenues for the sake of our planet. https://www.sfreporter.com/news/2024/02/12/senate-approves-record-budget/
