We are so on the wrong path.
The House just passed a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill. Nearly two-thirds of its funding goes to military and law enforcement programs: stephensemler.substack.com/p…

Breathtaking courage in the part of the women of Afghanistan and the women of Iran.
Deep bow of respect and prayers for their protection.

Very cool
This year 4,726 Denver residents received a $400 rebate off an e-bike or a $900 off an e-cargo bike (low-income residents can get more).
According to a city survey, recipients say their new e-bike/e-cargo bike is replacing 3.4 car trips per week(!).

Income inequality is not a bug, it’s a feature of the current system.
Throwing down crumbs every once in a while is not solving the problem.
Only fundamental economic reform will put us on another path. epi.org/publication/inequali…

Suppressing knowledge of American slavery is like suppressing knowledge of the Holocaust: one of the ways that evil hides is by denying that it ever existed.

This is so outrageous!
Involuntary relocation; involuntary labor; involuntary separation from one’s spouse and children; involuntary inability to save a loved one being raped, beaten or even killed; involuntary submission to unimaginable cruelty & pain at the whim of an owner.
Just jumping in here to remind everyone that as we end the year, in school districts like Dallas ISD teachers are not allowed to use the word "slavery" in class and are still awaiting to see what term that they can use to describe slavery, such as "involuntary relocation" 1/

What? Are you under the impression that the US in Afghanistan wasn’t both Republican and Democratic presidents? Not to mention that it was a Democrat who had us leave.

Thanks for your reply. It's been well established that the BLM protests were by and large entirely peaceful. If you can show me otherwise, I am willing to stand corrected.

It didn’t have to be this way.
If the US had spent 20+ yrs supporting actual democracy rather than simply indulging military excess, things could’ve turned out very differently.
A profound tragedy.
