Full text of statement:

"It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defend the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right.

Today, while the very rich are doing phenomenally well, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. Unbelievably, real, inflation-accounted-for weekly wages for the average American worker are actually lower now than they were 50 years ago.

Today, despite an explosion in technology and worker productivity, many young people will have a worse standard of living than their parents. And many of them worry that Artificial Intelligence and robotics will make a bad situation even worse.

Today, despite spending far more per capita than other countries, we remain the only wealthy nation not to guarantee health care to all as a human right and we pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. We, alone among major countries, cannot even guarantee paid family and medical leave.

Today, despite strong opposition from a majority or Americans, we continue to spend billions funding the extremist Netanyahu government's all out war against the Palestinian people which has led to the horrific humanitarian disaster of mass malnutrition and the starvation of thousands of children.

While the big money interests and well paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much political power? Probably not.

In the coming weeks and months those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice need to have some very serious political discussions.

Stay tuned."

Maybe the purpose of a system is what it does...
Maybe trying to lower the rate/efficiency of the baby-killing machine is the wrong approach...
Maybe you should be thinking about destroying it...

Choice quote from the Article:

For the better part of a decade, American discourse has been consumed by emergency politics: a collective insistence that we are teetering on the knife’s edge of collapse, an anxiety that both parties were all too happy to exploit in order to hold their voters captive. This year that impulse reached its apotheosis.

What we just went through was not an election; it was a hostage situation. Our major parties represent the interests of streaming magnates, the arms industry, oil barons, Bitcoin ghouls and Big Tobacco, often without even pretending to heed the needs of voters. A political system like that is fundamentally broken.

A poll from this spring found that about half of voters 30 or younger believe that it doesn’t matter who wins elections. Describing the burgeoning nihilism of this generation, one pollster told Semafor, “Young voters do not look at our politics and see any good guys. They see a dying empire led by bad people.”

The recount happens; Kamala wins.

Germany's ruling coalition government has finally agreed on a new antisemitism resolution after months of debate amongst German politicians and fears that it will silence critics of Israel.

The final draft of the resolution titled "Never Again is Now: Protecting, Preserving and Strengthening Jewish Life in Germany" was agreed upon last Friday by the coalition consisting of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Green Party and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), as well as the oppositional Christian Democratic Union (CDU).

Its main features are the prioritisation of the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and the withholding of state funds for artistic and scientific endeavours from those who take part in boycotts of Israel.

Today, our gardens were my biggest source of solace and hope, and I hope that yours are comfort for you all as well. I went hard planting more fruit bushes and will be hitting up our town's seed library tomorrow to hedge some bets for next spring.

One of the plant families I went big on this past year is Pycnanthemum - mountain mints. Not only are they a good source of nutrition for pollinators, they have the added benefit of being an abortifacient you can grow on the DL. There are a number of species, not just P. virginianum, so check to see what's endemic to your region and have a patch growing for your local support network <3

What's growing on with you all?
