@SkylerforNY Kamala's laugh might sound weird because she's the latest figurehead of a genocidal, oligarch-backed party that pretends to oppose fascism, but doesn't really stand for anything except fundraising off of how horrific Republicans are -- right before they campaign with them. Maybe?

@YawceIsCozy @mehdirhasan Both parties are responsible for this. The oligarch backed democrats donāt want a real democracy. And republicans donāt want a republic at all. Theyāre happy going back to feudalism. Two wings of the business class.

@BillKristol Agreed, Now do Biden, Bush, the invasion of Iraq, and the genocide of Palestinians and their children.

@SenTomCotton Youāre a migrant. You come from a family of migrants. Your native continent is 3600 miles away from Washington DC, a place named after a man the actual natives called Town Destroyer. You should be grateful, humble and generous with your words and ideas about āmigrants.ā

@JamesSurowiecki Look up how many people were killed in the illegal invasion of Iraq. How many soldiers killed and maimed. Look up the aftermath. Then look up the excuse for the invasion. How many normal people do you think are capable of that?

@TheDemocrats So letās declare it officially and start devoting 80% of the defense budget to putting out the literal fires burning down Los Angeles, and launch the green new deal? Letās take action. Otherwise it reads as cynical and disingenuous.

Why do we spend nearly a trillion dollars a year for national security and when the 2nd largest city in the country is being decimated there is this bare minimum level of support. Hundreds of fire fighters? We are a country of 334 Million. Surely we can do a lot better than that. The fires are not contained. So send in everything needed to contain it. Why are our major cities not receiving billions to adapt to climate crisis? Why are we not declaring a climate emergency? How bad does it need to get?

@BarackObama Why do we have the most expensive and powerful ādefenseā force in world history and yet not a dollar of it is for defending our cities from the climate crisis weāre creating? The USA is one giant grift.

@saramfoster That is not far left. That is just the other wing of the business party. An actual people-centered policy would not be sending billions to foreign religious wars against children, but adaptation to the climate crisis we're creating.

@ksminnovation @TalPatalon I wonder what the effect of WW2 was on the Germans as well. Does this study do a comparison?
