I rewatched The Sandlot the other day. I saw that movie so many times as a child, but never realized until now how deeply sexist it is. If you watch it, I recommend thinking about what it must be like to see it from the perspective of a young girl.

Our political scale has been distorted & propagandized by the corrupt elite to make basic empathy a radical political ideology.
But it's not.
Our barometer is off & a dangerous sociopathy has been the norm for way too long.
That's how we got here: being conditioned into hyper individuality.

✅ The 8 senators admit they kept him in the loop
✅ The 8 senators that voted yes are not up for reelection
✅ His No. 2 voted yes

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.
We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.
We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.
