    Maybe, just maybe, we should make sure our people are not dying because they lack health insurance before we start spending billions to militarize outer space.

    By backing the Saudi coalition’s war in Yemen with weapons, aerial refueling, and targeting assistance, the United States is complicit in this atrocity. No one can seriously claim that our support for this war is actually making us safer.

    A bus carrying children on a field trip in Yemen was hit by an airstrike the Saudi-led coalition describes as a "legitimate military operation." At least 29 of the children were killed.

    The U.S. has a president who is so "tough" that he can order tiny kids to be torn from their parents' arms. Unfortunately, he's not so tough that he can speak out on human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a leader who sounded more like .

    "Canada will always speak strongly and clearly in private and public on questions of human rights," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said amid a diplomatic rift with Saudi Arabia.

    Trump makes racist attacks on LeBron James, as well as many other black athletes, to feel powerful and divide us up. Congratulations to LeBron on opening the I Promise school—setting a great example for the young people of our country, unlike the president.

    This is an outrageous move. It's entirely legitimate for democratic governments to highlight human rights issues with undemocratic governments. We must continue to do so. The US must be clear in condemning repression, especially when done by governments that receive our support.

    Despite Trump’s tax giveaway to the wealthy and large corporations, real wages have actually gone down, not up, since June 2017. The economy may be the best in history for billionaires like Jeff Bezos, but it is not "booming" for the average worker.

    We cannot continue to have a "debtor prison" system in the United States. Our destructive and unjust cash bail process is part of our broken criminal justice system and it must be ended.
