"One major trend is becoming clear: violent crime dropped in 2021 and 2022 — and then declined again, significantly, in 2023."

Ignore the beatings of the former president, and the rest of the regressive-right's echo chamber.

If you want your family to be safer next year than this year, vote for the people who are increasing your safety right now.

I would replace "caused" with "greatly contributed to", but otherwise I think this is correct.

What were we doing vis-à-vis Ukraine prior to 2014 that "forced" Putin to invade eastern and southern Ukraine, anex Crimea, and take control of a big chunk of Donbas and Luhansk oblasts?

I very much doubt it was TFG's intent to further increase the influence of Iran nor seriously harm the security of Israel.

@paninid

The motivations of very far right, often messianic Israelis is vastly different from Putin's. There is neither reason to, nor basis for comparing them.

Moreover, it has nothing to do with either my toot or @wjmaggis reply.

"This is one of the hardest, most complicated problems in the world. And there’s nothing easy about it. I know it angered and frustrates many of you, including my family. But most of all, I know it breaks your heart. It breaks mine as well."

Seems Biden's listening & hears.
He's doing his very best, even if many think he falls short.

If you deserve better, you do, the question is, what's the path?

Tomorrow is the day that must issue their decision on whether or not the former president (or any president) could be immune from criminal prosecution so that the January 6th Insurrection case can proceed and the voters know if he is guilty of instigating a coup to overturn the will of the electorate.

Johns Hopkins is doing a long-COVID survey and apparently is having trouble finding controls -- people who haven't had COVID. If this is you, consider giving them some clicks.

Took a while, but not a big deal.

There are only ~40 million Black people in the US. Population similar to Lagos state in Nigeria (the tiny red part).

There are ~250 million US white folk (~220 non-Hispanic white + ~30 million Hispanic white).

So Biden's "missing" 10% of Black men, is fewer than 2 million. Or less than 1% of white US population.🤡

White voters don't face the massive systemic voter suppression that Black voters do. So increasing white dem turnout is much easier.

So if your boy doesn't win, blame yourselves.

It's every demographic, every prospective new voter, every disgruntled 2020 Biden voter, Black, White, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Jamaican, Guatemalan, Honduran, Chinese, Vietnamese, Philippino, Japanese, atheist, Catholic, Jew, Baptist, Hindu, Muslim, gay, queer, straight, trans...

We need everyone we can find to sit down, or stand up, and talk with.

It's probably going to be excruciatingly close. Every single vote matters.

It's definitely not just Black people.

Samuel Alito’s egregious partisan display should result in his resignation from the Supreme Court.

At the absolute bare minimum, it should be atoned for with recusal from any and all cases having to do with the former president and/or the January 6th insurrection.

Neither of these remedies will happen because the MAGA Supreme Court judges are naked reactionary partisans.

The US government is ending the program that provides free COVID vaccines to people who are uninsured and underinsured.

This is a public health failure that will further decrease already low vax rates, and puts marginalized communities at greater risk.

@noyes @mckra1g @luckytran

None of that is true.

Republicans forced clawing back the COVID funding that was paying for free vaccines for the uninsured. Democrats had little choice in order to keep the government open.

Biden has a large number of wins, from checks in people's pockets in early 2021 to huge investments in renewable deployment and research to canceling college debt for millions of Americans to capping out of pocket costs for prescriptions for seniors at $2k/year.

If that's the mental model you have for a president trying to get things accomplished in the heavily antidemocratic system we are stuck in, then yes.

The world is a difficult and unforgiving place.

Biden didn't help Hamas slaughter 1000+ people with both the knowledge and the intent of provoking a devastating Israeli response, that was Iran.

Netanyahu is the one responsible for both failing to prevent the attack and refusing to measure the IDF's response.

Biden miscalculated his ability to influence Netanyahu and he'll own that when the time comes.

Your 1st statement above is 100% false & we're done here.

Is Trump ahead in the polls, because Biden is losing support amongst one of his key demographics: Black men? Or are the polls all a lie?

Either way, the most important thing to do, is to ignore, insult, argue with, and generally disrespect, Black men online! 🤡 Find a Black man, and yell "Trump is worse!" in his face as hard as you can! Swear at him, and threaten him with violence!

I will readily admit that I am no revolutionary. When the choice is between Biden and Elizabeth Warren in the primary, I pick Warren. When the choice in the general is between sanity and insanity, I'm for sure going to pick sanity.

So no, I've not lied when I've called/written the White House, Senators & Congresswoman. They know and I know there's no single issue that would have me serve insanity.

@joeinwynnewood@mstdn.social avatar

@mekkaokereke

Can you make the case that my lying would be more impactfull than telling them their position/proposal/vote is wrong, why it's wrong, and my values and their values require better?

What I see from Democrats (and the WFP) at the local, state and federal level, are multiple policies and programs being implemented that benefit marginalized people/communities. They're undoubtedly not everything that needs to be done, but infinitely more than what insanity would do.

@mekkaokereke

Your telling me I should write letters that would be a lie for me. I'm not OK with that.

You're also seem to be accusing me of telling Black men how to vote. I haven't and I won't.

Are you also telling me that I shouldn't offer why I think voting for Biden is a good thing for every voter to do no matter what they look like, who they love, or where they come from?

Bolts are being replaced by Blazers at Chevy but the U.S has definitely made an affordable EV. If you qualify for the rebate, and especially if your state has its own, it’s much cheaper than an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle.

That’s just upfront. Then consider that maintenance is roughly 30% less and you’ll typically pay 30-60% less on energy/mile compared to an ICEV. Article from January but still.

The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt Is Now A $19,995 EV Bargain:

@TonyStark

I leased an M3 in August, 2021 to bridge until there were more EV models available; I'm happily looking forward to returning it to Tesla this coming August 14th and getting a replacement EV prior to then.
I'd be happy with a Bolt EV or EUV, but my wife wants something comparable to her CRV (now in the possession of our youngest son...).
Based on our initial research, it's looking like we'll end up with a 2023 Ioniq 5.
That said, I'm absolutely open to feedback/input. Budget is ~$40k.
