Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.
Julian Assange is going to be extradited to the United States, and possibly sentenced to decades in prison, for the crime of publishing evidence of American war crimes in the Middle East. These are the actions of a police state.

Why do we always talk about spending when it benefits people but never do when it means foreign occupation and murder?
Our society is experiencing multiple existential crises simultaneously but please tell us how much we should worry about inflation and debt!! Very effective!!
