I hear President Trump is planning to take unwarranted military action against another country. Is the US ready for a spontaneous, worldwide international boycott of US goods and services, or even sanctions? Because that is what will happen.

Agreed.
Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.
revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Think different in 2025:
Find and support businesses that are actually doing the right thing. Money talks—spend it where it matters.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

The sandwich guy could have just been given a ticket for disorderly conduct, and (if the charges were not dropped) pled guilty, paid his fine, and gone home. What an utter waste of jurors' time and government resources.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
