Good point. You'd think Republicans are the "stiff" ones. It feels like it is easier to teach the Republicans by example than the Democrats. The #Turd-Reich started to use the word "affordability". Mamdani's influence extends beyond NYC.
The liberal frustration is frequently about the violation of norms and how power should be used to uphold the system, even if the system is irrevocably broken.
It's time to fight for justice and be willing to work outside the norms and existing power structures. They're not there to help you.

President Trump's sanctions against the International Criminal Court are preventing Americans from helping the court prosecute the gravest international crimes.
Our clients are suing the Trump administration because the First Amendment protects speech that aids the ICC's work.

How sanctions imposed by Trump are taking a toll on the International Criminal Court
The International Criminal Court, or ICC, only intervenes when national courts can't or won't prosecute crimes like genocide and crimes against humanity. But after the Trump administration sanctioned several members of the court this year, Americans trying to prosecute some of the world's worst crimes at the ICC are discovering those sanctions are preventing them from doing that.

It rewards Israel with greater control and condemns Palestinians to further displacement.

An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.
"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

Before he became the face of Trump's tough ICE policies, Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino endured a childhood marked by a family scandal that changed the trajectory of his life.
