Sen. Tim Kaine's capitulation to the malevolent GOP must be condemned! He betrayed millions who were depending on Democrats to protect the ACA. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries must lose their leadership positions. @kaine.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Not only isn't the article "Free to Read", but I can't read it even though I paid $319 US for a subscription in January. FT deems some random articles to be "Premium". To read it, I would have to "pay now" $618.49 US, with my annual subscription rate to go up to $719 US. #Greed @financialtimes.com

1) Democrats should announce that GOP landgrabs, sweetheart contracts & tax cuts that Republicans are giving to the 1%, will later be reversed with interest and -- if applicable -- penalties and criminal prosecution.
2) Announce boycotts from the floor of Congress against specific MAGA businesses.

GOP legislators & corporate CEOs believe that their coup is set in stone. Democrats must announce that Trump tax cuts for the 1%, contracts, land giveaways, etc, will all later be reversed, with interest, penalties, and criminal prosecutions. Their coup attempt will fail. @tribelaw.bsky.social

The US lost over 36,000 troops during the Korean War, fighting for Seoul's freedom. Three years ago, the US asked them to sell 155mm artillery rounds to Ukraine, but they refused so as not to upset Russia. Seoul needs to put its high-tech sector & arms industry to work on 3 shifts to help Ukraine.

Ukraine should be inducted into NATO at their summit on June 24-25. Secretary General Mark Rutte's tenure has so far been utterly uninspired. He needs to show that he is the leader of the preeminent global security alliance, not a mere concierge to the financial interests of its larger members.

Why is Wikipedia perpetuating the odious and discriminatory caste system? Outlawed in India 75 years ago, it classifies people into 5 main castes at birth, with Brahmins at the top and Dalits (Untouchables) at the bottom. @wikipedia.org @wikimediafoundation.org

2/2 Call for boycotts! Announce that the wealthy who get Trump "tax cuts" will later be forced to pay them back with interest. Announce to the military that they must not obey illegal orders, whether to invade Greenland or shoot protesters (they can be held criminally liable under the UCMJ).
