Thank you Michael Moore-- you are tireless, committed to justice, and an inspiration to us all.

Forgive me, but I would like to add one additional point, which I realize will be controversial. The problem with the Democratic and Independent Senators who bravely (and yes, bravely) voted against supplying arms for genocide (thank you!) is that sadly all of them will loudly affirm the "right" of the "State of Israel" to exist. But in my view, states don't have rights-- people do. And the "State of Israel" (and the zionist movement that created it) at its ideological heart and its practice over 100 years has been settler-ist and and apartheid-ist. The conflicts this leads to inevitably invites war crimes if not genocide. Our children in school pledge allegiance to "one republic with liberty and justice for all" and then sing from "sea to shining sea". We should support a country in Palestine that offers liberty and justice for all, from "river to sea". And so should our elected representatives.

Th Democratic Party is so broken, it’s been obvious for years, in every election that we should easily have won but keep losing, to people the rest of the world laughs at.  That people would rather vote for the scum the Republican Party has to offer rather than a Democrat says volumes, and it can’t always be chalked up to low information or ignorance.  Something is profoundly wrong with the Democratic Party, and unless we correct it soon the country could easily slip into chaos we won’t soon be able to recover from. That the mighty Democratic Party keeps getting defeated by a cult of loudmouth boors tells you so much about where we are at this moment, but it rarely seems like the Democrats in power are listening. When will they start?
