“Full-on attack on the U.S. Constitution.”
BREAKING: Police in the US state of Georgia have arrested three people for the supposed "crime" of raising bail funds to get peaceful "Cop City" protestors out of jail prior to trial. This is full-on attack on the US Constitution.

I wouldn’t either.
I cannot, in good conscience, vote for the debt ceiling deal.

Obviously, we need to become as intent on overturning Citizens United as others were for years intent on overturning Roe v. Wade. But given the current make-up of the Supreme Court, it’s unreasonable to think we’re going to be able to do that anytime soon. In the meantime, we have to do everything else possible to counter the effective big money and its undo influence on our politics.

The debt ceiling deal is not an example of good governance and honorable compromise. It sells out the American people and the planet on which we live, protecting the powerful and inflicting harm on the weak and powerless. The Democratic Party should not be a party of spineless compromise with the powers of oligarchy, whether those powers of what FDR called “economic royalism” are Big Oil, Defense contractors, or billionaire donors. Democrats will win in 2024 by rejecting - not supporting - the path of constant acquiescence to the corporate tyrants in our midst.

“The best way to protect our democracy is through practicing it. The DNC does not have the right to determine who's ‘qualified’ for president, when all that really means is who in their mind is qualified to perpetuate the system as it is.” newsweek.com/debate-us-mr-pr…

I’m with you, @FlyingWithSara.
Putting on my black dress up to my neck with lace at the collar and down the street where we’ll walk with a parade of children who want to go to school rather than lose a limb in a meat packing plant so some jackass can get a bigger yacht, or rocket off. npr.org/2023/04/27/117254456…

Nothing is more dangerous than bigotry codified into law. What Uganda has done criminalizing LGBTQ should be condemned by the entire world.
The president of Uganda signed a punitive anti-gay bill on Monday that includes the death penalty, enshrining into law an intensifying crackdown against LGBTQ people in the East African nation. It is one of the world’s most restrictive anti-gay measures. nyti.ms/3IKXdqx

The rigged system that has the highest poverty rate of any advanced democracy.

“I saw so many people whose lives were in deep, deep distress due to bad public policy,” Williamson said. “They did everything right. There was no reason for life to be so hard.” They were victims of a “rigged” economic system, she said. ow.ly/niBO104IAoe

U.S. policy does not just abandon or neglect the poor; it punishes the poor.

The status quo will not disrupt itself. #marianne2024
The great contradiction of this debt ceiling deal is that, while poverty is the 4th leading cause of death, this deal will make it harder to get food stamps but easier to spend money on war.

NO!! We will look back at this someday the way we look at 1950s cigarette advertisements saying they were good for you.

Just to be clear. In a democracy, you debate your political opposition but you don’t seek to “destroy” it. Only a fascist says I will “destroy it.”
