I’d like to hear from Merrick Garland or President Biden or hopefully both the exact steps the federal government now plans to take to step up alt right wing white supremacist deradicalization efforts.

Since Congress gave presidents permission to fight terrorism and white supremacy has become a form of domestic terrorism, why would they spend billions of dollars on what we consider foreign terrorists but suggest we just hold hands with domestic ones? wbtv.com/2022/05/15/biden-ur…

“…a significant number of U.S. police instructors have ties to a constellation of armed right-wing militias and white supremacist hate groups…a deadly threat inside U.S. police departments.”
We have got to be on top of this. All of us. reuters.com/legal/government…

Far more people love than hate but those who hate, hate with conviction. Conviction is a force multiplier. When haters are so convicted they'll go to extremes to perpetrate acts of hate, it's not enough for those of us who love to be kind-sorta-sometimes dedicated to acts of love

When hate is talking so loud, it's not enough for love to whisper. At a time when haters have turned their hate into a social and political force, the rest of us sure better get busy.

It should not be left to the private sector to solve the problem it created. @POTUS should invoke the Defense Production Act to produce more infant formula. npr.org/2022/05/12/109856471…
I know families across the country are worried about the availability of infant formula. That’s why yesterday, I brought together manufacturers to discuss how we can increase supply as soon as possible.

Huh? I’m Jewish. And I’m quoting polls, not just my opinion, when I say neither AIPAC nor DMFI represent the opinions of the majority of American Jews.

There can be no blank check for the government of any American ally, including Israel, to blatantly violate human rights and democratic principles, directly harming the Palestinian people as well as imperiling the interests of the State of Israel and the United States. 4/4

The United States should launch its own investigation into the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh as well as demand an explanation from the Israeli government for the horrifying and violent use of force at her funeral. 3/4

An independent investigation into the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh is imperative, and the behavior of the Israeli police at her funeral is indefensible. A stand for democracy demands no less. @DemMaj4Israel 2/4

Those who claim to support Israel but are willing to do so even when the policies of the Israeli govt are illegal or at the expense of democratic values or human rights, do not actually support the good of Israel nor express the opinion of the majority of American Jews.@AIPAC 1/4

I commented the night of Shireen Abu Akleh’s assassination. Even the most ardent defender of Israel’s right to exist cannot defend its government this week. It’s been shocking and appalling.

Constantly allocating more money for Boeing, Northrup Grumman & Raytheon may or may not mean more help for Ukraine. The same "foreign policy experts" that perpetrated the disasters in Iraq & Afghanistan are parroting the same absurdities that more military spending saves the day.

What should be America’s bottom line? Short term stockholder profit maximization or “government of the people, by the people and for the people”? The former is in direct contradiction to the latter.

Signs of big change are everywhere; our only choice is whether the changes will come through wisdom or through pain.

$41B in profits…
Greed. Greed. Greed. While Americans are struggling at the pump, in the first three months of this year, 21 oil and gas companies made over $41 billion in profits, more than double their profits from last year. The problem is not inflation. The problem is corporate greed.
