If a single billionaire can legally dump $100 million into an election, when the legal maximum an individual can donate is $3300 — that’s not democracy or a free and fair election, that’s an oligarchy and an auction.
The corruption is killing our country.

Today's SCOTUS ruling tears down one of the first principles of American democracy: that no man is above the law. To say the president has immunity from prosecution for any acts committed in their official capacity while in office is a wide open invitation to dictatorship. And in the hands of a man like Donald Trump, is it literally terrifying.
@GhenaRoule @marwilliamson Actually, if you have been reading Marianne's posts you will realize that she is very anti-war, especially the war as it is being conducted in Israel.

With a large police presence gathering around Columbia University right now, I hope all those who pray will pray, all those who meditate will meditate, and all people of good will open our hearts beyond who’s right and who’s wrong (almost everyone involved here is both, by the way) and simply wish for peace.
Whatever happens in the next few hours, may violence not ensue. May peace prevail. May love prevail.
May it be so. Amen.

"At your funeral no one will talk about: your bank account, your watch collection, the cars you had, the number of hours you worked. They will talk about: your loyalty, the positive memories, how loved you made them feel, and your generous heart. Remember that.” ~Lewis Howes
I'm tired of hearing that Biden is frustrated, or Biden had a tense call with Bibi, or Biden is angry, or that he is "warning" him that he must do better in the future.
For too many people now, there will be no future.
I want to hear that Biden said "NO MORE. Not one more dollar, not one more weapon, until you change course. Full stop."
