@HonourableHappy @dinodelic14 Dude, you’re actually the one strawmanning. Yes, the Democrats were founded on slavery because they represented the slave owning south. But over time the geopolitical board changed, the areas the parties represent flipped. (1/x)
The Supreme Court says cancelling student debt is illegal. The Supreme Court also now says the President is immune for Official Acts. You see where I'm going with this Joe?
You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.
Today, President Biden put forward a clear, realistic and just plan to establish an immediate ceasefire and end the war in Gaza - a plan that ensures Israel’s security, returns hostages taken on October 7th to their families, increases aid into Gaza and relieves the suffering of Palestinian civilians, and engages Israelis, Palestinians, Arab countries and the broader international community in the process of rebuilding Gaza.
A ceasefire alone won’t ease the terrible pain of Israelis whose loved ones were butchered or abducted by Hamas, or the Palestinians whose families have been shattered by the subsequent war. It won’t resolve the longstanding conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, or answer contentious issues surrounding a two-state solution or continuing settler activity in the West Bank. But what it can do is put a stop to the ongoing bloodshed, help families reunite and allow a surge of humanitarian aid to help desperate, hungry people. It can save lives, here and now - and it can lay the foundation for what will be a long and difficult road to a future in which Israel is secure and at peace with its neighbors, and Palestinians finally have the security, freedom and self-determination that they have sought for so long.
As the tragedy in Gaza has unfolded over the past eight months, we’ve witnessed an often fierce public debate here at home - and around the world - regarding how the United States should respond. But no matter where each of us stand in these broader debates, an enduring ceasefire is something we should all support - for the sake of Israelis, Palestinians and the world at large. I am deeply encouraged by the steady, tireless efforts of President Biden, Secretary of State Tony Blinken and our diplomatic team to bring this awful war to an end.
They all pretty much say the same thing:
• "You'll only regret the things you didn't do"
• "Don't worry so much"
• "Enjoy life"
This really hit home for me.
I found a guy on YouTube who asks 60, 70, 80, and 90-year-olds:
• Their biggest mistakes
• What they used to worry about
• One piece of advice for their younger self
Wildly enough, they all pretty much mention the same things.
Here are my top 7:
