I do not understand why you are putting any faith in Democrats. They don't speak out against genocide, instead too many appear to be wholly in support of it. And despite their many times in power, they resolutely marched the world (because what happens in Amerikkka never just stays in Amerikkka) to this point of genocide and totalitarian rule.
Why is it so difficult to imagine a different world? One without rulers? I know I don't need crazy, immoral creatures telling me about morality, nor anything else.
I'm not understanding why you're seeing my post calling to uphold justice, and being critical of Democrats, as "putting faith in Democrats?" My whole point is to demand action, not blind faith.
I'm trying to figure out how to track nominees and when they are scheduled for confirmation hearings. One possible source I literally just found a couple of minutes ago for listing the nominees might be afj.org. I'm interested in knowing other sources. It looks like it's time for me to contact Senator Klobuchar again.
This is how democracies actually die. Not in coups, but in confirmations. When judges won’t say the election was real or that January 6 happened, that’s not neutrality, it’s auditioning. And when Democrats help wave them through, that isn’t pragmatism, it’s institutional sleepwalking. Courts don’t just interpret power, they restrain it. Once loyalty replaces truth, the robe becomes a costume and the damage lasts generations. This is a red line, not a process disagreement.
Thanks for your updates always, Qasim. I am SO exasperated when I keep finding the names of legislators I previously admired (Mark Kelly) on these lists! In your spare time, Qasim, (teehee, I know you have none) could you compile a list for us of legislators who have a solid human rights record. If there are any (sob). Right now I'm thinking--OUT with all of them!
It's a great takeaway from what's happening with the judiciary Rashid. The thing that's always stood out in my mind which is for 76 years still as yet active. It's that the American way of life for the ordinary citizen is regulated against them. How often do you need it spelled out to you that "justice" is just a word. The rich win and the poor loses. I grew up with movies from America that depicted crooked sheriffs, hanging judges, bought off council members, politicians that took money for favours. Nothings actually changed. If you have enough money or public backing you may win the odd battle or two but you will never win the war. Your water and air will still be poisoned, your small businesses will still be eaten up by conglomerates and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. But keep dreaming that the government in opposition will change that dynamic if it makes you feel better. You still won't be in control until you face the facts of life. So change them! Research your candidates. Never mind what comes out of their mouth, see what they've actually accomplished for the people! Then and only then put your X or tick on the ballot. Sure they might not stand by their word but if the people keep at them they'll soon realise that they are a one termer and they won't last long enough to have real power and a tax payer pension for life! This will bring real people with real life changing policies that understand that if they are to last for life they have to devote their LIFE to always going the extra mile.
Qasim, you indicated that these Dems confirmed at least one nominee. Do we know the names of the nominees or that one, in particular?

and Thank YOU for the PHONE NUMBERS! EZ!!
I’m so sick of them!! Such hypocrites and complicit in trump’s fascist shit. They will all be voted out.
I didn't know, and am in complete shock! So many names that were otherwise on my "can be trusted to do the right thing" list . . . 😠 😡
Agreed. Truly depressing. But let's channel that rage into action.

Yep exactly right.

Always depressing I know but my commitment is to justice and human rights and that means calling out injustice regardless of party.
I absolutely need to compile such a list. Perhaps I’ll work on that as a 2026 goal.

It’s disgusting
Thanks, Qasim. Will make a few calls to these senators.
Thank you Angela.
Hello, these are *democrats* and *liberals*. Expecting anything other than symbolic resistance from democrats and liberals is a waste of time.
Their job is fundraising, not policy.
And yes, they will fight tooth and nail to make sure that the hoi polloi are kept in their place.
