They Mean You No Well | #WeKeepUsSafe New Year 2025

Black people always have to keep in mind that when US police look at you, they are studying up on killing you (the very definition of premeditated murder, which they openly admit to in this article).

  • Adopt a “No Contact” position, when possible; go no contact, block all enablers, block all flying monkeys. Turn your bright shining light inward by putting yourself first, second and third. Make no room in your life for the toxicity.

US Congress

Commentary by Noam Chomsky

The circumstances are a highly disciplined opposition party dedicated to the principle announced years ago by its maximal leader, Mitch McConnell: If we are not in power, we must render the country ungovernable and block government legislative efforts, however beneficial they might be. Then the consequences can be blamed on the party in power, and we can take over. It worked well for Republicans in 2009 — with plenty of help from Obama. By 2010, the Democrats lost Congress, and the way was cleared to the 2016 debacle. There’s every reason to suppose that the strategy has been renewed — this time under more complex circumstances. Even apart from party loyalty, there is little sympathy for working people in Republican ranks.

Legislative Branch – Congress

How a Bill Becomes a Law

All federal laws in the United States begin as bills. Before a bill can become a law, it must be approved by Congress (the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate) and then signed by the President. 

We focus on Congress. Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government that represents the American people and makes the nation’s laws. Congress consists of two houses: the House of Representatives and the Senate. There are 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 members of the Senate; 535 total members.

(In terms of appointment, A “Congress” or congressional term lasts two years. At any point when Congress is in session, a sitting member of Congress may introduce a bill. When a bill has been introduced, it is alive and may be considered at any time during the Congress).

Once a Congress adjourns, at the end of its two-year cycle, all bills that have not made it through the entire legislative process are dead.

Many proposals that are not signed into law during a Congress are often re-introduced in the following Congress.
