We say easily... "The ignorant ought not to vote."
We would say, "No civilized state should have citizens too ignorant to participate in government," and this statement is but a step to the fact:
That no state is civilized which has citizens too ignorant to help rule it."
-W.E.B. DuBois, 1920

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.
What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

BREAKING: Jerome Powell revealed that staffers at the Fed think the government could be overestimating the number of jobs created by 60,000 each month.
The true numbers could be closer to a loss of 20,000 jobs a month. trib.al/o9uyuPt

The Dems are far from perfect, but the vast majority of them seem to have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and they deserve support in an imperfect system. This cannot be said of the scum in the Rep party.

The NSS is like a version of the Eisenhower Doctrine written by the KKK. A commitment to intervene aggressively abroad (especially in Europe) to uphold white supremacy and foreclose the emergence of multi-ethnic democracy. Its a declaration of political race war from a gang of white supremacists.
I can’t help thinking that when, in future, people ask what UK political leaders said as it became undeniable that US saw European liberal democracy as its no1 strategic foe, Starmer and others will regret that the answer is “not much, shuffled awkwardly, looked at their feet”.

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

Nothing says racism, cruelty, hatred and weakness combined in one quite like the orange felon removing all free access to National Parks on federal holidays that honor black people whilst giving free access on his own birthday. He should’ve been sent to jail forever.

I'd also note they already invalidated Section 3 that says that you can't hold federal office if you engaged in insurrection against the United States. These are not judges impartially applying the law. They are racist despots who despise American progress. (3/3)
