64·2 months agohow else could the Democrats win?
every election they pander more to the right and if someone does not run that is worse what would they have to campaign on?
progressive politics?
219·3 months agothe US has already implemented policy changes to combat the problem
what about the community senior centers that need building repairs/not up to code, have no nurse on staff, seniors are given food way past the expiration date without regard to diet restrictions/health conditions, medical care
gender is irrelevant
will they stand with the people or the corporations?
voting red or blue will not change anything
until people realize there are third parties to vote for nothing will happen
Brazil is a window to the future of countries like the US
very sad world to be in maybe one day
some younger people like me are not allowed to vote because of bipartisan policies and laws
quit blaming us for everybody refusing to vote better people in
not our fault y’all refuse to vote better
Critics point out that as a Schedule III drug, marijuana would remain regulated by the DEA. That means the roughly 15,000 cannabis dispensaries in the U.S. would have to register with the DEA like regular pharmacies and fulfill strict reporting requirements, something that they are loath to do and that the DEA is ill equipped to handle.
just like they killed safer tobacco consumption methods
now we will only have dispensaries that are able to “comply” with the rules
after four years of Trump thought the US would do better than a far right religious Catholic and Prosecutor
The legislation next goes to President Joe Biden to sign it into law, who said he would sign the package Wednesday. Its passage is a significant victory for the US president, congressional Democrats and Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, who long pushed to send aid to Ukraine even as the right wing of his party increasingly soured on support for Kyiv.
“This vote reinforces America’s role as a beacon of democracy and the leader of the free world,” he said.
definitely not a victory for the US citizens though whose rights and civil liberties are endangered
democracy failing because leaders selling out so hard to corporations that the people consider other alternatives should be what the headline is
citizens should not be blamed for why the leaders and the country sucks
the bought and paid politicians should be blamed
Cop City
Journalist and protesters in the US killed or imprisoned by cops
Corporations using prison labor
More things are qualifying as jailable offenses such as people’s social status or medical conditions/events/etcetera or jobs
Cops are increasingly more prone to protect corporate interests over the public’s (who wrote that story The Last Capitalist the one were one man owned the earth including oxygen and sold it with cops protecting him?)
a president who back tracked on every campaign promise to address policing issues
the next election is against two people want to continue doing all the above and more
barely leave just for the grocery store anymore
it is getting worse your next trip outside could involve a black bag over our heads
fucking dystopian horror show like out there
cops are still arresting people
too bad both presidential candidates are old and conservative
and Biden is Religious with a prosecutor for a vice president to boot who has backtracked on most of his campaign promises including his ones on cannabis which he did on day one of his presidency
legalization is decades away and with states and Native Americans legalizing the trouble for citizens will only get worse
there are already border patrol style policing going on at the borders of legal states, cities that are half recreational and or medical and half illegal, and thousands left imprisoned
that is yet another failed promise wrangling in the police even going as far as turning a blind eye to cop city
already a shit show and just going to get worse
too bad this article will be downvoted with the following comments
“But he is not named Trump!”
“The writer of this article supports fascism because he wrote bad about Biden and not Trump!”
“Rather have someone doing nothing to defend against fascism than to have a fascist dictator!”
https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts
almost as much funding has gone to Ukraine versus US federal food stamp program and if they pump 50bl into US based defense spending it will be close to or more than we spend to assist feeding people
think we replaying the 1920s right now all over the world progress is going backwards at a phenomenal rate
is that all we did was identify a victim?
are we not going to change the country’s gun laws or promote and fund mental health or do anything else or
just bag and tag and move on to the next horror show
starting to feel like any day now we are going to wake up to
"Yesterday’s body count lottery rounded out to a solid ‘n’ sturdy thirty! Ten outta Heywood - thanks to the unabated gang wars! One officer down, so I guess you are all screwed. ‘Cause the NCPD will not let that go. Got another blackout in Santo Domingo. Netrunners are at it again, pokin’ holes in the power grid. While over in Westbrook, Trauma Team’s scrapin’ cyberpsycho victims off the pavement. And in Pacifica… Well… Pacifica is still Pacifica.
This has been your man, Stan. Join me in another day in our City of Bugs!"
very hard to believe this pastor is genuine especially in Missouri
like believing a prosecutor is going to stand with the citizens instead of supporting cops and the corporate interests they protect and serve
