I don’t believe the U.S. taxpayer should continue to arm Netanyahu’s government with deadly military equipment.
I believe Netanyahu is a war criminal and that his government has committed genocide in Gaza.
This doesn't make me antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

Even though Alligator Alcatraz is now closed, the OIG report is still a scandal. It confirms many of the abusive conditions at the facility, which Florida outright denied.
Making matters worse, the OIG says another Florida facility is not getting ANY inspections from ICE.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.
