We know why Trump should NOT be president.
Here’s why Kamala should be.
She wants to:
- Raise the min wage to $15 per hour
- Cancel all medical debt
- Help working parents by expanding the child tax credit
- Expand Medicare to cover home health care, vision & hearing
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
“Dissent must never lead to disorder” - President Biden.
From Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” written in 1963:
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
Without protests, we would still live in a segregated country.
Without protests, women would still be second class citizens.
Without protests, the LGBTQ+ community would still be hiding their identities.
Yesterday, Joe Biden included trespassing in his description of violent and disruptive protest, saying it was not okay. In 1960, four young black men refused to leave Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, in violation of the law. They were trespassing on private property and being disruptive. MLK was arrested for the same thing in Atlanta. Those arrested were charged with trespassing. MLK was sentenced to 6 months hard labor.
If Joe Biden were president then, he would have told the protesters to go home. JFK was a Senator running for president then- he actually made phone calls to get MLK out of his jail sentence.
The point of protest is to be disruptive. Civil Disobedience literally means breaking the law. Kudos to the protesters of the 1960s and of today who understand what it takes for justice to prevail.
This is an abomination. As Jews, to see this being done in our name... horrifying, despicable, words fail.
This is what our government supports in Gaza. Thousands of children murdered, people being rounded up, stripped, and G-d knows what else.
Ceasefire NOW, end this nightmare
The footage of Israeli soldiers torturing and humiliating detained Palestinian men in Gaza is horrific.
We’ve seen terrible images like this from genocides throughout history. We know what this leads to. Never again means never again for anyone.
I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients.
If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine
It’s funny, because at least half the time I really just want to die, but then I remember my cat cries if I go into another room and close the door…sometimes that’s enough.
