For a fraction of what we spend on the Drug War (billions) and the wall (billions), we can fix our broken asylum system and create gateways through which immigrants can enter legally and then transition within a year to lives in America as productive and contributive citizens.

I will begin the process of ending America's War on Drugs, thus undercutting the power of the drug cartels who are creating such heinous violence from which people throughout Latin America are trying to escape.

Once again, we are dealing with a problem on the level of the symptom and not the cause.
As President I will end sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela, and seek to end every US policy in Latin America that continues a legacy of economic colonialism on that continent.

It's not just the selling out of the soul of his campaign, it's the selling out of the soul of this country. And by the way, it's an idiotic expenditure of billions of dollars. If people want to get in badly enough, they will simply build tunnels underneath the wall.

The president continuing to build the wall on the Southern border is a betrayal of a campaign promise. It's also a desperate bid for approval by the border hardliners who want a president to be "tough on the border."

This is everything the Democratic Party should *not* stand for. In fact it’s everything the Democratic Party should stand against.
Dems will not win in 2024 by imitating Trump.
Biden just approved adding miles onto Trump's border wall.
To build quickly, the Biden administration is disregarding about two dozen laws on clean air, safe drinking water, endangered species, environment, etc.

The Constitution does not limit the number of Supreme Court Justices to nine. At this point they have gone rogue, and I would be prepared to counter their corporatist bias. #disruptthecorrupt

Correct. There is a better way. marianne2024.com/issues/immi…
1. Walls don’t work
2. President Biden promised he wouldn’t build them
3. Now even harder for voters to distinguish between him & Trump on border/immigration
4. Wasted opportunity to use executive power to actually fix our asylum system instead of impotent political posturing

The individual strikes are important, but so many of them happening at the same time is the huge shift. It amounts to a significant, much needed course-correction of the US economy.
Tomorrow, 75,000 health care workers are set to strike at hundreds of Kaiser facilities across several states in the largest such strike in US history. Their primary grievance is low staffing levels, which unions say are hurting patients and workers alike. jacobin.com/2023/10/health-c…

Separating children from their parents at the border is state-sponsored crime. #Marianne2024
