Drug addiction is a physical and mental health issue not a personal failing so shame, scorn and forced abstinence do not cure it. It changes the brain chemistry.

By amending the hell out of the constitution, taking MONEY out of politics, revamping our political system, removing the electoral vote, expanding SCOTUS, applying congressional term limits that include SCOTUS!

Decent theory for a nation that literally elected a game show host as president.
This fits into my theory that reality television was the beginning of the end of Western Civilisation
i think a (perhaps underappreciated) aspect of this whole situation is the extent to which every elite profession is filled with people who excel at drawing attention and want to be famous more than they want to do the actual job

The next Democratic administration should expand the court.

There’s no other way to redeem SCOTUS at this point.

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

They are lying to us.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: Today I had a meeting with representatives of the US. The American side presented its proposals – points of the plan to end the war – their vision.

We agreed that the teams will work on these proposals. We will not make harsh statements and are committed to clear, honest work.

Notice a difference in how Democracy Docket framed Trump's threats vs how legacy media did? This is no accident. They are more interested in normalizing Trump to please their corporate overlords. Democracy Docket is only interested in providing you the truth. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Thanks for naming the key problem @justinwolfers.bsky.social !!!!
It's too easy to be distracted by the economic story of the day. The more important story is of our system fraying: The rule of law is decaying, Bribery spreading, crony capitalism normalized. It won’t show up in next quarter’s data, but when our kids try to build their lives.
