Economic inequality in USA is worse today than before the Great Depression & I think often about this warning from the great James Baldwin when he said, "We have yet to understand, that if I’m starving—you are in danger. People think that my danger makes them safe—they're in trouble." I fear for the future of our country if we continue to let so many starve so a few billionaires can buy a 10th mansion, 5th yacht, & 3rd private jet.

6 more hostages have been killed. As the families of the hostages tell us, “Netanyahu abandoned the hostages. This is now a fact.” If hostage families do not trust or rely on Netanyahu to do what is right, why should anyone? If international rules based order has any meaning, Joe Biden must act immediately to stop arming Netanyahu, end this siege, and enable a true and lasting peace. Otherwise, innocent people will continue to die.
Trump's new campaign promise of free IVF is: 1) A lie. 2) A proof of why we need guaranteed universal healthcare. IVF *should* be free to all people, as should cancer treatment, injury treatment, surgeries, & all medications. Guaranteed universal healthcare will save Americans $450B a year, stop 70,000 preventable deaths, increase life expectancy, decrease maternal & infant mortality, end medical bankruptcy, & ignite entrepreneurship. Healthcare. Is. A. Human. Right. Let's finally act like it.
The same people who claimed Kaepernick’s kneel during the national anthem to protest police brutality was offensive to the troops are also the people who claim Trump’s illegal campaign stunt & thumbs up at Arlington Cemetery is NOT offensive to the troops. Just know they lied both times.
BREAKING: New polling on stopping arms to Israel supported by -56% of white college grads -61% of Americans -63% of Moderates -64% of Hispanics -66% of Women -75% of Black voters -77% of Dems -77% of Under 30 Bottom Line—rejecting Biden's policy of total allegiance to Netanyahu will *increase* voter turnout for Harris/Walz & solidify a win on Nov 5. Receipts:
Repeated polling confirms the American people want the US Govt to stop arming Netanyahu. In fact, both in swing states and nationally, polling shows that by up to 8:1, Americans are more likely to vote for Harris if she announces an end to arming Netanyahu. Trump is an existential threat to democracy—we cannot risk letting him win to protect Netanyahu's war crimes. Americans demand a farewell to arms. Here are the receipts:
150 Hollywood elites accused a Palestinian Muslim woman of being a terrorist—without a shred of evidence—to try & strip her of her Emmy nomination. They failed, but face ZERO consequences for their bigotry. Islamophobia remains an acceptable form of bigotry in the West. When will we stop allowing this hate to flourish?
Think about this. White supremacists terrorized Black & Indigenous people for 300 years. And when that terror was finally made illegal, white rebel groups further terrorized Black & Indigenous people for another 100 years via Jim Crow. And while $0 reparations were paid to remedy the 400 years of terror, now to simply acknowledge that terror is called the "woke mind virus." White privilege is ignoring the cancer of white supremacy—but condemning the teaching of that history "a virus."😐
