@aliciamenendez.bsky.social re: Presidential decorum. Was it decorum when President Obama was questioned about the Bush regime of torture and replied, “we tortured some folks”? Or when Eric Holder said that “the constitution guarantees due process, it doesn’t guarantee judicial process”?

The government could choose to dramatically improve the lives of Americans in need. Instead, they choose to torment those seeking a better life here. 😢

Also, Healthcare for All would be a pro small business program. It would empower small businesses, decrease corporate monopolies, & increase affordability. #nobrainer

I don’t believe in trickle-down or “conscious capitalism.” An economy that depends on corporate goodwill will always fail workers. We need clear rules, real enforcement, & accountability, so small businesses can compete & working families can actually get ahead. #AccountabilityEconomy #WeCanDoBetter

The Panama papers and Epstein’s sex trafficking ring are linked. Analysis shows that the shell companies were used to launder money. Especially in regards to Trumps “Ocean Club”. Where multiple Trump properties were “sold” to Russian oligarchs for prices much higher than they were worth.

In the months leading up to his murder, Khashoggi was reportedly researching a story that linked senior Saudi officials—including members of the royal family—to offshore accounts revealed in the Panama Papers.

How the centrist wing of the democratic party is destroying the left: The Powell Memo, formally titled “U.S. Business: A New Agenda for Action”, was a 1971 internal memorandum written by Lewis F. Powell—then a corporate lawyer who later became U.S. Secretary of State under President Reagan. 🧵

"Neither ICE nor CBP is currently engaged in immigration law enforcement. This is Donald Trump’s fascist paramilitary. Until Trump and his fascist goons are thrown out of office, it is madness to continue giving money to agencies that are in an undeclared war on the American people."

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from. We'll let their words speak for themselves.

Christopher Mathias on the administration's racist and white nationalist rhetoric: DHS, on New Year's Eve, posted the word re-migration. I saw the word arrive on America's shores about ten years ago, and it was in the private chats of Nazi groups. Now it's on the White House's official account.

Australia - This month marks the 20th anniversary of the overturning of a law that prohibited medication abortion. While there's still access problems, nearly half a million prescriptions for mifepristone have been dispensed since 2012.

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. And if they can talk you into believing anyone else is to blame, they will keep picking your pockets and purchasing themselves politicians and getting away with it.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Another one.

The Affluent Class/Elite Media panic over AI eliminating all the white collar jobs is legit, but it’s interesting how it contrasts with the same Affluent Class/Elite Media a generation ago not caring much about NAFTA/neoliberalism killing off blue-collar jobs & mowing down the entire working class.

“What’s really at stake is the enforcement of ‘sex-based distinctions’ that have long been understood hierarchically (men on top) to deny women (and sexual minorities) equality of treatment and access to resources and power.”

There is a direct line between refusing to make the argument that immigrants are good and the proliferation of concentration camps where children are now sick and dying. When we do not assert the unequivocal humanity of all we enable the dehumanization of those authoritarians need as villains.

Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end in sight. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...
