The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has become the No. 1 spender in Democratic Party primaries, pouring in $100 million in 2024 alone to attack members of Congress who spoke out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Their message: If you criticize Israel, we will bury you.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

One issue is the constitution being written by educated men, imagined that future citizens and leaders would be as educated as them or more, and that therefore their future was always going to be one that respected unwritten but agreed upon centuries of English legal tradition
