Opposed a ceasefire for more than seven months and didn't endorse a single restriction on military assistance until after the 2024 election and they lost significant amounts of membership and had a staff revolt and in return they got nothing from any of the Jewish orgs to their right lol.
Which is funny because J Street pivoted hard to the right for a good year or so and atrophied membership and also didn't get any goodwill from AIPAC or the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations

A new survey by the local AARP chapter found that younger people, active in the workforce, are taking on this responsibility.

This is true if one ignores the entire histories of Asia and Africa
The historian in me feels the need to note that contests between cities and their rural hinterland are not new things and they do not generally go great for the rural folks.
California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?
