The ICJ ruled Israel must work with international agencies to get aid into Gaza. While its not legally binding, it’s a clear signal that the world is watching how this war is waged. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
The East Wing demolition shows just how far Trump’s $250M ballroom project is going. A luxury hall without approval, and Congress lets it continue. As the branch overseeing White House construction, they should hold him accountable. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
Over 170 U.S. citizens have been wrongly detained in the immigration crackdown. A disabled teen was even cuffed outside his school. That’s not how justice should work, instead proper and fair procedures should be implemented to prevent these acts. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
Bringing in more beef from Argentina won’t fix prices overnight. It could hurt U.S. ranchers and bring new risks. Real solutions should focus on long term stability, not shortcuts. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
Four weeks into the shutdown and families are paying the price. If Congress lets ACA subsidies expire, monthly premiums could more than double. People can’t afford Washington’s lack of leadership for the working class. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
The government shutdown shows no sign of ending, and the lack of urgency is infuriating. Unlike the 2013 GOP shutdown, Mike Johnson is blocking all legislation. Democrats must speak louder, keep their momentum, and fight for the working class. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
The SCOTUS case on congressional districts and the Voting Rights Act could undo decades of progress. Kavanaugh’s comments on its permanence are alarming, this could give GOP states more power to redraw and erase minority districts ahead of 2026. #StudentsTalkPolitics @studentstalkpols.bsky.social
It’s good to hear that Oklahoma’s new superintendent is reversing his predecessor’s mandate requiring Bible instruction in classrooms. Protecting freedom of religion means respecting all faiths and keeping public schools inclusive for everyone. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
Glad to see Boston’s mayor standing up to Trump after his threat to pull FIFA World Cup games. As usual, Trump is spewing hate and targeting Democratic cities instead of supporting a unifying event. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
In Chicago, a county judge’s ruling barring ICE from arresting people outside courthouses is a crucial step for due process and community trust. I hope it takes effect as intended and that federal authorities don’t overlook it. #StudentsTalkPolitics @studentstalkpols.bsky.social
Federal employees working without guaranteed back pay raises serious concerns. It’s illegal to require labor without pay, and Trump’s comments show who truly stands behind the working class. They must be paid for their service to our nation. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
The prosecution of political opponents over differing views is deeply concerning. The U.S. is a democracy, not a nation where institutions like the DOJ should be used as tools of political oppression. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
Immigration agents using excessive force and racial profiling in Chicago is deeply concerning. Even with partial Supreme Court backing, it raises serious ethical issues. Then Trump’s threats toward Governor Pritzker only ads to the chaos. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
It’s staggering that 9 out of 10 people in Gaza are now displaced, families leaving their homes and often returning without one another. It echoes the tragedy of 1948, with history seeming to repeat itself. #StudentsTalkPolitics @studentstalkpols.bsky.social
I hope phase one is successful and that phase two follows soon. Growing pressure on Netanyahu from Muslim nations and global leaders may be key to ending the conflict, freeing hostages, and achieving lasting peace. #StudentsTalkPolitics @studentstalkpols.bsky.social
Israel, founded in 1948, is not what many in the U.S. imagine. Its government’s actions don’t reflect Christ. Like Russia, it shouldn’t be allowed to keep bombarding the growing number of nations which include Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Qatar and Iran. #StudentsTalkPolitics@studentstalkpols.bsky.social
The turmoil in France, with mass protests against President Macron, highlights just how unstable the world feels right now. It’s a reminder of global instability on a larger scale including the government over throw in Nepal.
Trump’s sanctions on Russia are ineffective, and the U.S. is losing global influence. Even after meeting with Trump, Putin shows he isn’t afraid. The U.S. and Europe must unite together if they want to prevent further harm caused by Russia.
Gun regulations pushed by Democrats aren’t about protecting liberals, they’re about protecting everyone including conservatives. Today, similar to last week, several children were critically injured. We need serious reforms from both sides.
Although I strongly disagreed with Charlie Kirk, there is never space for political violence. It’s why we have a democracy. Gun violence has affected the President, murdered a State Representative, and now a conservative influencer. It has to STOP
