But "The evidence is overwhelming: countries that weaken democracy do not gain more stability and security, they lose it."

The Illusion of Order:

Business leaders think a little autocracy might bring stability. History and data say the opposite.

Also, because Johnson is incompetent and cannot manage the House. For 250 years House Leaders have sworn in members in a timely manner. Johnson just is not up to the job. @meidastouch.com @raskin.house.gov @crockett.house.gov @repilhan.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @dailybeanspod.com

Hahaha Communism left Russia when the USSR fell apart. It’s now an autocratic, unregulated oligarchy held together by conservative religion. Keep going strong. Paint the country Green. Looking for the biggest upset election ever. Lean Green Winning Machine.

I've found a few more webcams around Alaska and Canada today! Here is one near Rampart House, Yukon which can show aurora very well. The panoramic views update every five seconds. Very nice resources!

No, the idea is that US taxpayers are unknowingly funding so-called “communist/socialist” programs in Israel while suffering without social programs themselves. Socialism for Israel but not for USians.

But both Israel & Argentina has Free subsidized Universal Healthcare for their Citizens so technically we 🇺🇸 are paying for Foreign People to get Free Healthcare in their own country before our own citizens 🙄 including education & Birthcontrol Family Planning so bet MAGA didn't mention that 🤔

I'm not a conservative commentator. No Billionaire is offering me $150 million. No TV network will make me its editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights hard for democracy. I built Democracy Docket to keep you informed. For $10 a month, you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

A nasty women. Looks like that is what it takes to try to get people to see the horrific things going on in the world. She would definitely fight for rights for brown people everywhere.
