Many have claimed that, today, the enactment and ratification of new amendments to the United States Constitution is an unachievable goal. We respectfully disagree. While there is no question that it will take a whole lot of work, what alternative do we have to ensure

Because it’s not enough to be AGAINST something…

Before we can fight—I mean REALLY FIGHT—we must build CONSENSUS & COALITION. Only then will we have a force to fight with.

Are suggesting that every Justice who has sat in SCOTUS bench for late 100 years has betrayed and/or undermined our democracy? If yes, how so? Please clarify your point.

If ratification of new constitutional amendments has truly become unachievable, then the concept of “government of the people, by the people, for the people” has arguably become meaningless.

In the late 1780s, many thought a new constitution was an unachievable goal. Rhode Island did not even send delegates to the Philadelphia

The Last Mile with USAID @thelastmileusaid.bsky.social · Jun 25

A 19-year-old with a Discord handle and no clearance was handed U.S. foreign policy—and torched it. They called him Big Balls. The joke wasn’t that he got in. The joke was that no one stopped him. Welcome to Rubio’s State Department.

The end of America’s 400-yr-old tradition of White-Male Affirmative Action has finally become inevitable.

How will we ensure that it never comes back?

(See comment to this post.)

Why too many WHITE MEN
fear DEI:

A whole generation worked to
teach us why WHITE SUPREMACY is bad for all of us but neglected to prepare WHITE MEN for competition in higher education and/or our workforce when WHITE-MALE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION no longer exists.

This is very, very bad.

A new state law will likely force the closure of hundreds of low-enrollment programs at Indiana University. The cutoff is 15 graduates/year for undergrad majors, 7 for Masters programs, and 3 for PhD programs, averaged over 3 years.

The Barranco family has sent out this update on their father’s status. Absolutely despicable treatment by the United States government. It shouldn’t matter that he raised 3 Marines, but the fact he did only makes it that much worse.
