1. Racism 2. Economic exploitation of poverty 3. Militarism These evils are bipartisan. If not mitigated, all is for naught. Let's make sure the "restructuring" is on target. If not, the burning house analogy stands. #MLKDay

On September 14, 2001 -- three days after the 9/11 attack, while bodies still lay underneath the simmering rubble in lower Manhattan -- @RepBarbaraLee delivered one of the wisest and bravest speeches in the history of the House, explaining her lone vote against the AUMF. Listen:

$600?!?! As in, the stimulus these idiot politicians finally agreed to give middle class Americans while continuing to pump billions into the markets via the Fed and Treasury. News flash: I DON’T NEED THE HELP! Our politicians are all so old, out of touch and stupid.
