As we debate increased discipline for struggling students and cuts to disability support, it matters to note that the Governor is driving these policies while proudly and publicly using slurs for disabled people.

You can't "significantly reform" fascism
Hakeem Jeffries: "Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities."

So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great.
But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.

Can we extrapolate this to firearms too, please?
Three children were killed by lawn darts in the 70’s and they were banned in the US.
ChatGPT has caused how many deaths at this point?
If corporations are people, why aren’t we holding them criminally liable?

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Stress makes people sick.
Years ago Thomas Gordon (author of Parent Effectiveness Training) said to me, "Autocratic environments make people sick." As a psychologist, he was referring to families - specifically, to control-based parenting - but I can't help thinking about the relevance of his comment for an entire nation.

"Billionaires" should not exist. There's something inherently wrong in a society that allows them to exist.
They would not exist in a just society. The only way to "make" that much money is by exploiting others.

There’s nothing wrong with Billionaires having billions. There is something inherently wrong with billionaires cutting your benefits, and help to the poor through USAID, and running around with a chainsaw giggling.
You can have power or billions. But we refuse to be an oligarchy
