The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

On #WorldAIDSDay, we remember all those we've lost to HIV/AIDS and stand in solidarity with everyone living with HIV/AIDS.

Today and every day, we must continue to work to bring an end to this epidemic and end the harmful stigmas surrounding it.

The NYT and the Washington Post are simply ignoring the rapidly growing constitutional crisis in the White House. Almost nothing in their news coverage or opinion sections. They are as culpable as anyone in this.

“We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.”
It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

“It’s going to be a reverent sacred site. ... We hope to include as many voices in that process on how to take something where something so awful took place and turn it into a place with high reverence," says Emmett Till Interpretive Center Executive Director Patrick Weems.

FUCK MAGA Arkansas farmers.

You voted for a guy to end "handouts" for the poor, but now that he's ruined your business with the tariffs and immigrant crackdowns — that YOU voted for — you want a handout?!

Sorry, that's socialism…

NOW…FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF!

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Real liberalism has been tried.

First it created the Constitution.

Then it abolished slavery.

Then it ended segregation.

Then it created the greatest surge of prosperity in history.

Our problems today are not because liberalism failed.

They are because we failed liberalism.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

"Trump ran by by dangling these carrots in front of poor people in America. But once he actually took power, the the optics, the gold, the opulence that he surrounds himself in puts on full display that this guy does not give a flying fuck about the people that he pandered to on the campaign trail."

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.
