“Talent exists everywhere; opportunity does not.”
“Wealth in the US is so intertwined with our mythologies of genius, destiny, and merit that we give near-sainthood (and electing to high office) the least thoughtful, least competent, and least self-aware people ever to walk a boardroom floor. It’s a dangerous confusion, and one with deep roots.”

This is why I am so proud to be a Democrat. We are NOT the same as Republicans. We are just fundamentally different people and the corporate media is WORTHLESS. Well done Rep. Joe Neguse!

Not only are they kidnapping and abusing disabled people, their actions are causing additional disability.

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities
Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

Sadly no surprise.
Today Israel is releasing 1,700 Palestinian hostages - they are hostages, even if the Western MSM refuses to call them as such: They were all kidnapped after Oct 7, held as “bargaining chips” without trial, charges or legal counsel.Any media outlet that calls them “prisoners” is morally bankrupt!
Israel violates ceasefire, threatens more violence open.substack.com/pub/owenjone... This may mean many things - for example, a resumption of genocide in Gaza or a new attack on Iran, or both. The one thing it self-evidently does not mean is that he is committed to is peace.
