Murder by the state is a crime against humanity.

Raising taxes absolutely will fix it. Bring back the 90% bracket for the rich!

California should petition the court to have Texass included in the case.

After all, it's what Stinky got Texass to do that forced CA to take steps to preserve democracy.

*All pipeline operations still subject to Ukrainian sanctions, of course.

ONLY if it's not connected to the internet.

"Cloud" cameras like Ring are more of a risk to you than anybody else, and they're a horrific privacy risk to the public.

She should have been gone decades ago.

She blocked so much good progressive legislation. She's an unrepentant capitalist, she's the past, democratic socialism is the future.

And I'll just remind everybody it's HER FAULT that we just had to suffer through yet another clock change instead of having year-round DST.

That's not quite true. Gender-affirming care should absolutely be part of normal healthcare, and healthcare should be a responsibility of the government.

Not all gender-affirming care is surgery, but surgery should absolutely be covered as part of Medicare for All.

This really shouldn't even be a question. The tariffs are illegal.

And it's well past time to strip the president of ANY power to declare an "emergency" if congress is able to meet. And by "able to meet" I mean if more than half of them aren't suddenly dead. There should be NO ability for the president to order a single shot be fired without a declaration of war from congress if congress is able to meet.

The office has too much power. It needs to be taken back.

Ok, so Stinky is an idiot.

But broken clock right twice a day and all, LNT is incredibly stupid, and we know it. That article is pure fearmongering.

Just legalize it already!

The war on drugs was won by the drugs decades ago. It's time for failed governments to stop ruining peoples' lives.

Good.

Every missile they ship to Venezuela is a missile they can't fire at Ukraine.

And it would be nice to see Venezuela have something that could discourage American aggression.

The real problem isn't Chinese citizens owning property.

The real problem is corporate ownership of housing. Fixing it for single family houses is easy enough, require that the owner must be a natural person or group of people not to exceed the number of bedrooms, not a corporation. Do the same for condos. And limit the number a single person can own, say to no more than two in a single city and five in the entire country.

It's harder for apartments. Maybe a limit on the number of units that a single corporation can own, with a prohibition on ownership of residential property by any corporation with a majority of stock owned by anything but natural persons. And of course mix that with a massive government buyout of apartment properties, and mandatory national rent control for all rental housing, with rent not to exceed 1/3 of the renter's income under any circumstance.

And nothing of value will be lost.

Yes, Clinton and Obama ARE war criminals. It's NOT just the Rethuglicans.

I have no problem with ALL of them being shipped off to The Hague for trial.

Sad that he never was charged with war crimes.

While that IS a good proposal, the workers absolutely SHOULD own and control the means of production, it's unfortunately not one that is being or is likely to be proposed by the center-right Democrats.

We unfortunately have no mainstream socialist party in this country. Even worse, we do have a mainstream fascist party.

It's too bad that most clocks change themselves now. We need a popular revolt against 'standard' time, it's way past time for year round DST.

If we all just refuse to change them, the government won't have a choice. But I'm not even sure how to disable the time change on my thermostat.

We're gonna need a new FDR to fix the mess.

There's kompromat on Johnson. Don't know what, but there's pretty much no question they have something on him that he REALLY doesn't want to get out. Doubt it's underage girls, might be underage boys, might just be run of the mill crime. But it's bad, probably worse than just his Grindr account.

No they don't. They keep voting to keep it shut down. If they want it to open, all they have to do is vote to extend the ACA subsidies.

The next president should IMMEDIATELY call in the bulldozers and take down the ballroom and get rid of the concrete in the rose garden.

Then the east wing should be rebuilt from the as-built drawings that I know exist, and the rose garden should be restored to exactly as it was when Kennedy was president.

I'm fine with the rest of it. But that stupid ballroom needs to be destroyed.

I really hope EVERY Democrat running in 2028 promises to bulldoze this thing and rebuild the east wing.

ALL patriotic Americans are antifa!

ABC, NBC, CBS, & CNN are center-right media.

MSNBC is at best center-left.

We do not have ANY actual leftist mainstream media in this country.
