Americans, STOP GIVING 3 Billion + a year to ISREAL! I am indigenous and homeless in Sacramento, CA. Shame on AMERICA!

[kaninma]

Billionaires are obscene. They have not done sufficient work to earn even a small fraction of the financial wealth they have accumulated. Seize their wealth and use it enhance humanity and other life. Leave them with a generous salary for each year for work they actually did. That is fair, and it will help billions.

MLK'S grand daughter is REMARKABLE!!!! LOVE HER BRAVERY & HER VOICE!

*It's pretty simple... as the RICH GOT RICHER our Democracy became Weaker!*

[richardgrady]

Manchin & Sinema both should be voted out of the Party and painted with the sign 'TRAITOR'.

[lornadoell]

Why is no one talking about what a 50 vote majority will mean for the nation when the Republicans are back in power? Are we supposed to pretend it's not going to happen ever again. Why is it so important to vote, when all you get is 2 choices, and there is so little difference between them. Why are you, DN, staying in the same limits of discussion as the mainstream media.

[EP-koyi]

We need a new variant that only infects billionaires.

I support the Palestinians. They were there first. God did not give Palestine to the Jews: they put the words they wanted to hear in God’s mouth. The people in that land differ only by religion.

What stood out to me. "He bought his guns on the streets of Texas". I wonder why? Can't have ANYTHING to do with the elimination of the no open carry law there, or that we have ten guns to every one person from the age 10 and up in America? Naw! Couldn't be!

[hizzlemobizzle]

Time to do a story about the Thwaites Glacier (doomsday glacier) it was originally expected to be at least a century before it melts. The latest data shows we have 3-5 years.

[lauralafauve]

El Salvador, America should take responsibility for past actions.

[djibrildiallo]

Democracy now, what about what's happening in Mali? Are you aware of it and refusing to cover it? If not, there is a huge protest in Mali, Bamako due to sanctions imposed by France and the ECWAS.

[edgarcayce.]

Notice how Sinema and Manchin are on the elevator with a bunch of sorry Republicans.

[deedetres]

pretty sure the act of terror is anyone who wants to buy a gun can get one off the street. that's terror. even hot dog vendors get harrassed if they are out of compliance. great protocols US - by the way, he like george flyod had the right to a trial. incase you were tracking that broken protocol too.

🙏🏾 Demacracy Now never stops fairly reporting on the Palestinian ppl

[chelsie]

We desperately need UBI and a wealth cap.

[mikepriverguy]

Again a great broadcast. Love to listen to Democracy Now first thing every morning. 🤗👍

[miraivas]

Do your job. Djokovic did not lie. He was considered a dangerous example for freedom of choice regarding his stance on vaccination. The decision was purely political. You lost my subscription for spreading lies.

[lamichiganr]

*The U.S. needs to make voting mandatory for ALL citizens 18 and older and make voting days a paid holiday.*
*Those 10 richest men in the World clearly benefit from our suffering, we have to do something to change that like tax them at least.*
