The next time that the Dems are in control, they MUST increase the # of SCOTUS jurists. Consider implementing age limits. The Dems must plan and then don't waste one moment. The future of our country is in danger, dividing people is another Hitler move.

Age limits are divisive too.

They are taking people with Green cards as well. This is very similar to Hilter's actions vs the Jews. Trump is using other ethnicities to get the idiots to acquiesence in the ICE actions.

Part of the problem is the underlying Cults, like QANON, even traditional Christian groups. Should identify the entities that are disseminating this "info." They don't believe "real" news.

talking about the basics and human rights like health care coverage need to be trumpeted loudly. also people who haven’t immigrated have NO CLUE how complicated the systems is and has ALWAYS been at a minimum the last 40 years. even reagan created amnesty realizing how horribly broken the system is. also the comment regarding authenticity of people from mamdani to walsh that the tent should be big enough for everyone. empathy is everything.

I think this country would breathe a great sigh of relief if we could, at the very least, have universal health coverage just like all the other developed countries (and some undeveloped) that provide for their populations. We could pattern off the best of them. This would free up employers from needing to offer health insurance as part of a pay package. It would eliminate the patchwork of all the different (and expensive) health insurance programs. There would be no need for Medicare/Medicaid/ACA et. al. We would all have coverage under the universal coverage system, which experts say is cheaper because the middleman is eliminated and we would all be healthier...like those in other countries who are universally covered.

That would be a great start in lessening the worry and anxiety over whether you could afford medicine or put food on the table. This is not "socialism". It is a caring government that promised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness by taking care of our general welfare.
