? For all the philosophical types and Christians out there - When does the soul enter the body? At conception? At 1 day, 1 week, 1 month? 6 months? At any point in the womb? No. It is at birth. 1st breath. That’s when u get Gods greatest gift to man - free will. Prior it is a vessel awaiting a soul.

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

New Yorkers are tired of being asked to believe in a system that has delivered little for them. They want a politics that can see the scale of the crisis, and actually start to tackle it.

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

The Epstein files are about so much more than the disgusting, criminal dealings of one man.
They're about how the rich and powerful are rigging our entire system to give themselves money, cover, and influence.
Buying elections. Warping our economy. Subverting justice.
Enough.

I don't know why we still call them ICE and treat them as a legitimate organization. They are an armed Militia and should be designated as a terrorist group. No other legal force in America wears masks and strips people of due process. They are a terrorist organization

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.
Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.
