Biden could have whipped 2 votes to pass election protections before losing the house. He could have called Sinema, vowed to spend a month in AZ campaigning against her; to fund her primary competitor. He didnt So when elections BS result in a Trump win, it WILL be Biden’s fault

Congress’ failure to codify abortion after repeal by this radical bad-faith court, despite overwhelming public opinion in favor of codification, will go down in history as a prime example of a legislative body captured by capital

50 years after the ruling, the overturning of Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. We must codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

remember the Netherlands, in which the court is based, is in NATO. So the US signed a law enabling it to invade another NATO country and do whatever it pleases on its territory, including destroying an independent judicial institution, if it ever dares investigate its officials

It’s just funny that as the quality of everything from airlines to infrastructure to food safety and availability to healthcare continues to precipitously erode around us millions of people blame socialism, an economic system that we do not live under

World Bank and IMF "development policy" boils down to saying that the global South's productive capacity (and labour and resources) should be mobilized by and for the interests of foreign capital, rather than by and for the interests of the South and its people.
