The racist-ass Supreme Court says race can't be a factor for college admissions or redistricting but racial profiling is perfectly fine for ICE to bash brown and Black skulls.

F this corrupt institution.

Expand the Court.

Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states

AOC: And should be legal in more.

BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”

They literally have had NO policy nor platform, . . . since the days of

Gingrich ‘s “ Contract on / with America “

Back in the 1990’s

Meanwhile, now where are ?

-Trump’s tax returns ?
-Infrastructure plan ? ( that Biden passed )
-Healthcare or “ concepts of a plan “

And THE EPSTEIN FILES!

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Capitol Police are literally protecting the same scumbag assholes who refuse to pay them but are still fighting to give money to January 6 terrorists. That’s another level of evil.

Advantages heaped upon them for century after century and yet white Christian men are still unsatisfied. Here’s a fact - look at 45/47 given everything & it wasn’t enough - he’s not an ideal, he’s the main carrier of the disease 🦠

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

Collins: Marjorie Taylor Greene—is she someone that you could see yourself working with?

AOC: On what? If she actually wants to support legislation and expanding healthcare… I'm more than open to doing that. But it's not just about talking the talk. We got to walk the walk.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.
