that situation was a complex one and a reminder to not view the world in black and white.

There is little evidence that the current administration has any interest in dealing with this crisis. Our hope is that a Biden administration would be historically bold. But make no mistake that both our political and economic systems will collapse absent solutions that scale to the enormous size of the problem. The central goal of our nation’s economic policy must be nothing less than the doubling of median income. We must dramatically narrow inequality between distributions while eliminating racial and gender inequalities within them. This is the standard to which we should hold leaders from both parties. To advocate for anything less would be cowardly or dishonest or both.

The 1% have extracted 50 trillion dollars from the bottom 90%. It's time we side with labor in no uncertain terms.

the reason the strike was killed was because it was “thousands of working people vs millions of working people”.

The second reason Phillips-Fein finds the labor fight compelling is because of the way Biden framed it, as a choice between the interests of railway workers and the economy as a whole. But he didn’t have to do that. “The president could also embrace a sensibility that more explicitly identifies the interests of the country as a whole with those of the workers and their unions, rather than seeing them in opposition,” she said.

Biden is a pro-union neoliberal. We need pro-union progressives and socialists with a populist narrative to campaign on.

The main allegations in the report are:

• The unprecedented scale and magnitude of the military offensive, which has caused death and destruction at a speed and level unmatched in any other 21st-century conflict;
• Intent to destroy, after considering and discounting arguments such as Israeli recklessness and callous disregard for civilian life in the pursuit of Hamas;
• Killing and causing serious bodily or mental harm in repeated direct attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, or deliberately indiscriminate attacks; and
• Inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction, such as destroying medical infrastructure, the obstruction of aid, and repeated use of arbitrary and sweeping “evacuation orders” for 90% of the population to unsuitable areas.

I had fun with it. I haven't finished all the bonus bosses after beating the game. The graphics were well done and the game play was as enjoyable as ever. They added some new super moves which was cool.

This was one of my first games as a kid and was a defining experience for my childhood. I've replayed the original a lot over the years.

The remake did not disappoint. Highly recommend. =D

Also the Super Mario Guy RPG series. From what I recall they didn't finish. But, what they did finish was really well done. The Family Guy voices are spot on. And it's really funny.

Oh and the puzzles in Bowser's Castle are now playable. Like, the ball clearing puzzle is actually a lot of fun when the inputs work.

Belome wants more faces!

Something about their wording kind of turns me off.

Is your argument that their tone is wrong?

Despite these actions, the Last Prisoner Project (LPP) notes in a statement that Biden “has yet to release a single person still incarcerated for cannabis through commutation.” Although the pardons granted relief to thousands of people with a conviction on their records, the president’s clemency actions did not address the approximately 3,000 individuals serving time in federal prisons for cannabis related offenses.

Ask more of your leaders. He in fact does owe us. We live in a democracy.

Be dissatisfied with corruption and nepotism. Otherwise that is all we will get. And we'll have no one to blame but ourselves.

He should definitely do more.

Why is doing a useful thing to help people always framed as being unreasonable but nepotism is celebrated?

How are you satisfied with Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden and calling it a day? The rich and the powerful get justice and that's it? Why defend Biden on this one?

The Democrats refuse to use power for the sake of norms until they personally can benefit from breaking the norm. This doesn't help anyone other than Hunter Biden. They should challenge norms for the benefit of the American people. Biden has the pardon power and plenty of time left. He should use it! edit: typo

The letter noted that the US has disproportionately incarcerated people of color, low-income individuals, members of the LGBTQ+ community and those with disabilities, and that 90% of the federal prison population was convicted on non-violent offenses.

What are you talking about? If the rich and the powerful get justice why not the rest of us too? Since when has justice been too broad?

The first people the fascists are going to go after will likely be minorities and immigrants in prison.

If Joe Biden pardoning Hunter Biden doesn't bother you then neither should this. This is what we should be calling for, because the justice system isn't fair to anyone, not just Hunter Biden.
