More than nonpartisan, I'm anti-partisan. Will listen to any POV on civic topics if expressed rationally: 1) Identify the problem; 2) discuss solutions; and only then 3) say which politician will help. Main interest: Free, fair, and secure elections.
No wonder why voters feel like the world is out of control and that government is ineffective. Global for-profit corporations are now the locus of power, and they have only one mission. We've left the Age of Democracy and are in the Age of Corporatocracy.
Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I like @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and I hope he soon sees the light about the inherent danger of ethnic states (e.g., genocide) and realizes the US should NOT support them. Best way to do that? Make every AIPAC recipient feel the wrath. AIPAC $s magnetically repel my support, vote, and $s.

Inescapable reality: 1) No state has a 'right to exist.' States must justify their existence by serving the people they govern.
2) An ethnic state, formed to serve only one group, is doomed to violate human rights, become authoritarian, & self-destruct by making enemies of humans outside its group.

Request for @barackobama.bsky.social: Please march into the DOJ HQ and demand to be put on trial for treason. Like no one else, you can call MAGA's bluff and show what backbone looks like. The press release should evoke the idea anyone falsely accused of being Epstein client should do the same.

Imagine what will happen if this Republican President pardons Ghislaine Maxwell.
Now imagine what she will do if he doesn't. Or if she soon dies (she is 63).
Now imagine anything the DOJ suddenly needed to talk to Maxwell about, other than the price of her silence.
Trump has no way out.

I'm stunned and shocked, I tell you. Stunned and shocked.

What's being done to prepare state election authorities for MAGA's inevitable interference w/ midterms? I cannot imagine MAGA won't choose, for example, to take control of ES&S and Dominion, or send troops to intimidate clerks. I want to help whoever is on this NOW. @brennancenter.org

We KNOW this regime will try to abort midterms. Who is preparing states to hold them regardless? MAGA won't rely on traditional stuff like voter purges. It'll be takeover of voting machine companies; troops in clerks' offices; effective stuff. What group (ACLU? Common Cause? LWV? Who?) is on this?

The reason Israel exists is to keep Jews safe, right?
If so, it's a failure. Jews are safer anywhere else on earth. Israel is the only place where they must install home shelters and huddle there on a regular basis. And it's only getting worse. No one is safe in Israel.
