We’re not going to win in 2024 by telling people to “be scared, to be very, very scared.” We’re going to win with unequivocal advocacy for the working people of the United States. No more “of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations.”

The War on Drugs has completely failed to alleviate the problem it supposedly set out to solve. It has only created more problems, fueling mass incarceration and violence at home and abroad. We have spent $1 trillion and continue to spend $100 billion annually on the failed drug war, and over half of our incarcerated population is in prison because of drug-related charges.
It’s time to end the War on Drugs. marianne2024.com/issues/drug…

These border agents apparently never heard of the Nuremberg trials. The fact that a superior told you you could not save the lives of a drowning mother and her two children is not an excuse.
“U.S. Border Patrol agents were unable to enter the area from the U.S. side after Texas National Guard troops, under the direction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, prevented them from doing so.”

It’s not enough to say “This conversation is over.” We need the military support to be over. #CeasefireNOW
Biden hasn't spoken to Netanyahu in the 20 days since a tense Dec. 23 call, which a frustrated Biden ended with the words: "This conversation is over." They had spoken almost every other day in the first two months of the war.

For Democrats to nominate Biden is to walk the path of disaster in 2024. We will not win by offering people more of what they had in the past. We will win by offering people the hope of a much better future. #WilliamsonForTheWin 4/4
