Posting stuff I care about. The truth is not somewhere in the middle. “Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil” Courage is contagious!
“Incrementalism, by definition, solves only part of the problem” & “the truth is not somewhere in the middle” Truer words were never written!
“5 states have not adopted a state minimum wage: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina & Tennessee. 3 states, Georgia, Oklahoma & Wyoming, have a minimum wage below $7.25/hour.

Well the video is comprehensive & if it wasn’t “his design” he clearly says Israel’s policy *worked brilliantly*, so he did think it “was a good one” & now he’s rejected a “proposed plan for establishing a Palestinian state” (screenshot) as “unrealistic” so what’s his plan? Trying 2 understand.

The AFSC (American Friends Service Committee) has posted this on IG and Threads. Help get this message out.

MID-MARCH!!!! 😡 “The Biden administration gave Israel until MID-MARCH to sign a letter that provides assurances that it will abide by international law while using U.S. weapons and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, three U.S. and Israeli officials told Axios.” www.axios.com/2024/02/27/i...
From @owenjones.bsky.social on the “other site”: “Adjusted for population size, that means Gaza has been subjected to 135 October 7ths, and counting. That's the equivalent of almost exactly 1 October 7th every single day since this began.”
Hassan El-Tayyab, the Friends Committee’s Middle East legislative director: “We’re clearly being outspent, but I think the saving grace is that our ideas are just more popular…So our currency is people power, & getting constituents to lobby their members of Congress” www.nytimes.com/2024/02/16/u...
Biden’s numbers are worsening, but you think he doesn’t care. Interesting. I think he probably cares a lot and all of us voters have the power to change him. It’s called using our leverage and it’s dumb not to try. Instead of being snarky, why not try?
You asked where he’s not listening and I answered. And I’m not alone. But you keep telling yourself Biden’s got this.
