Are we a democracy or an oligarchy?
AIPAC’s super PAC is spending more money to defeat Jamaal Bowman, $14.5 million, than any non-party group has ever spent in a House race.
We must overturn the disastrous Citizens United decision and move to public funding of elections.
@threedomusa thought of you speaking the below from an article I was reading in Jeff Foxworthy's voice.
"If bitterness and spiciness tend to feel amplified for you, you might be a supertaster"
Editors note:
If you follow MAGA for a living you’ll notice that many of them keeping talking about restoring America to a “Constitutional Republic.”
Not only is this straight from the Federalist Society I think it’s important for journalists and others to understand what it means if you run into it.
It means that Republicans have decided that the Constitutional amendments (13th ending slavery, 14th providing equal protection and due process to the states, and the 15th forcing the states to let Blacks vote) “ruined” America and should be repealed or otherwise invalidated using the federal courts.
Amending the Constitution is near impossible but these so-called “conservatives” have defined the 2nd Founding is illegitimate because it forever altered the balance of power between states and the national government.
You’re damn right it did.
The imbalance was intentionally shifted with these amendments because states used their sovereignty to try to destroy the Union in a war that they started because they were so high on secession propaganda war became inevitable.
A war they lost.
The amendments were the end result of southern conservative whites deciding to FAFO.
Everything that makes modern America, America is on the ballot this fall. Vote accordingly.
@gmfb Thanks for your balance today given the shooting in KC. I think about the families of people who were shot and the trauma for the thousands who were nearby just having a good time celebrating a team worth celebrating.

A compromise for Mullet Man. Tie the mullet up through the ceremony and Best Man speech. Then pick a time or song to unleash the mullet in all its glory!
@gmfb some foods don't play well with others. Sauerkraut is definitely one. Fresh Pineapple, surprisingly, is another. Had some the other day and drank milk after. Felt like whole milk became skim milk!
Republicans claimed climate change was a ‘hoax’ for their Big Oil donors and now folks living in hurricane zones can’t afford property insurance and face losing everything they own.
Pass it on.
