No no no no no. I love her, I voted for her in the 2020 primary as well as the 2024 general. But sadly, the racism, misogyny, & anti-Semitism rampant in this country means we need a white, Christian, cis-hetero (β€˜cause homophobia is also rampant) candidate. Idealism needs to be tabled.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right nowβ€”if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.

I honestly think the main factor is racism, secondarily our failure to teach its history here.

Benefit goes up 2.8%, deduction for health care increases by, what, 10 times that?

The amount is meaningless β€” less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

In America, it’s always about the racism (including the patriarchy & Christian nationalism) or about money.

FYI :β€œDestruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code Β§ 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.

Why hasn’t anyone gone to SCOTUS to ask for a TRO while suing him for legal violation & asking for him to restore the WH at his own expense?

I remember protesting LBJ about Vietnam and both Bushes about their Middle East wars. Yet none of the 3 (1 Dem, 2 Rs) wanted to poop on protesters. Oh, and the pro-Palestinian protests after Netanyahu’s genocide against Palestinians were not pro-Biden.
