So much injustice around the world committed by greed, fear and hate.
Neoliberalism
...and extreme rightwing republicanism.
@@bleaaarghh What are the tenets of Neoliberalism? What differentiates it from Neorealism? Do the vast majority of world leader's subscribe to Neoliberal philosophies? Which ones? If someone wanted an introduction to Neoliberal political theory to understand how it has created injustice through greed, hate, and fear whose writing should they read?
@@gustavovassa5674 David Harvey's "A Brief History of Neoliberalism" is an excellent introduction.
That won't tell me its tenets. That won't tell me its distinct differences from neorealism or any other theory. That doesn't answer my question of which world leaders subscribe to neoliberalism. Can political structures even have leaders? A history lesson doesn't tell me what neoliberalism actually means. After 254 pages it seems like you can't actually explain what neoliberalism is. That sounds like a waste of $30 to me.
What a disaster! Politicians just don’t care about voters. Corporate donors rule.
Many years ago, I sat in my first ever law lecture theatre. The first sentence my lecturer said “law is simple, and you will do well to remember, he who has the money rules. “ the second sentence he said “ never ever sue for principle!”
So all I have to do is be rich? I'll just go to the bank and get a loan for a few million dollars, start a business, and dump oil in a river. Problem solved.
@@SuperToughnut err, you will have to start a business first, then you will have a better chance getting rich, then the bank will lend you money.
@@DisconnectHack Many years ago Danny Devito said what 1,000 attorneys at the bottom of the ocean would be. We should've started then and there.
CONGRATS! You opted for THE RED PILL! :)
Many Republican seems to have gone insane.
These Republicans know exactly what is at stake for them. Notice that when a Democrat, even a career politician Democrat, comes into power the process of weakening white privilege and promoting justice takes place.
What Republican Party is fighting for is the maintenance of an unjust status quo, deflect and distract and deny all they want to. This is their last stand... and they will push things to the brink of even destroying the democracy if they have to.
They will be resisted.
@@esobed1 I read you.
@@robertracicot7232 do not read me, please...
You may not mean me well. I only hope, for our collected sakes, that you do.
Just know that the right route in history always liberated and included people when it is all done.
It was ever thus.
Lock Greene and Hawley up!!
Nice, Blinken old Warhawk as secretary... Troops already rolled into Syria to "protect" oil-fields. absolute disaster this empire
NO MORE PRIVATE PRISONS , OR PRIVATE MERCENARY TROOPS ! VIOLENCE , SUFFERING , TORTURE , INJUSTICE AND CRUELTY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO BE BIG BUSINESS !
🎯
It already is... "national defense" aka United States military aka the largest terrorist organization the world has ever known aka the largest polluter of our planet.
@@thegratefulsteve THEN FIGHT HARDER TO CHANGE IT !
Hawley, Boebert, & Green are hopefully going to resign or get the boot.
Nice
Oh, they won’t resign. But man would I like my boots on their behinds.
Amy Goodman: a woman of courage, mind and heart: a real human living model, an American role model, thank you madam.
A gift to us all.
Often on the front-lines reporting facts as they happen and putting herself at great risk.
Amy has also been the subject of police crackdowns on press freedoms in certain high profile disputes (Dakota access pipeline).
I worry about some of the Democracy reporting now becoming more hyperbolic, at the cost of accuracy, but hopefully Amy can reel it in.
Im a limey 3600 miles away.
Amy is by far the best no nonsense news caster Ive seen from the states.
I tend to find the rest far too opinionated for my taste.
I watch all the stations including Fox as imho its necessary to be able to come to your own conclusion.
My conclusion for US news Democracy Now is the most balanced.
I know. I really appreciate her!
I do agree.
I was just disappointed with a few instances of DN reporting that was less than ‘factual’.
@Jacob Ponce agree, also DN supports imperialism
If trump is not found guilty it will underline that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor
Also one law for the white republicans and and another for everyone else.
Its always been that way. Same as rich marrying rich. Poor wind up with poor.
It will underline how corrupt the GOP cult is.
They need to be voted out of office.
Didn't Bernie madoff go to jail?
Your arguments about rich people not going to jail is bullshit.
@@KJSvitko
Yea, cause the democrats are so sqeaky clean
Fined? They're rich. That won't hurt them at all. They should spend time in jail.
Yeah its hilarious and no deterrent whatsoever.
Fines according to income would b nice
@@motoarg5988 It would be a good first step for sure but for the likes of Financial Institutions some of those need nothing less than serious Jail Time, giving them fines as a punishment when they 'literally' print said Fines out of thin Air is absurd beyond belief.
@@bigdaz7272 The logic behind "according to" is the same retribution/punishment for all. So if thats the case for them then go ahead, im not gonna oppose to that.
They fined them $500 each. The guy was making 10 million a year.
Public officials using social media need to be held to account for their choices. It’s not too much to ask and expect.
Without consequence, there is only lawlessness! 💙🗽❤
@Nicole Córdova, definitely. Those damn DEMON RATS do not know the meaning of the word lawlessness. Corrupt to the core.
@@lordmask3722 😂wasn't it Cruz, and 176 reps the one's trying to overturn the election! Traitor!🙄
Personal responsibility for everyone else loopholes for me. This is the new American dream according to Rand Paul and the GOP
@@JohnMoran i - they all take full responsibility for their actions.
I fixed that for you. Don't let blind loyalty....blind you.
@@JohnMoran remind me again who claims to be the party of personal responsibility?
When you make something your rally call you should atleast hold yourself to that standard.
@@JohnMoran I forgot the GOP has turning intot he party of 2 wrongs make a right.
End the war on drugs
Thank you Amy and crew! I love your show! I watch your show & Thom Hartmann!
Our response to this matters. Thank you for great progressive reporting.
🎯
Great progressive reporting. The only other network that comes close to Democracy Now is TYT. But they've been slacking lately
Audit The Pentagon
after that the federal reserve
Entitlements DWARF the rest of the Federal Gov't
@@jeffschlarb4965
That's simply not true.
God bless the 17 yr. old Palestinian teen. Then u throw in 13 more shot and murdered right at the end... No wonder this world is soo F...ed...
Yeah, that sounds like the Mexican drug cartel..
BTW, she says 19 were murdered. Thanks.
No Private Prisons any where !
How is Ken Paxton not in jail yet? He was indicted over 5 years ago and he still hasn't gone to trial.
Thank you, Amy & Juan.
MEDICARE FOR ALL
The Senate should freeze the impeachment proceedings until they can get the Supreme Court or other reliable legal authorities to declare that these proceedings are indeed legal and constitutional. This would remove any and all excuses for senators to vote against impeachment, simply claiming non-constitutionality as the reason, rather than their clear stand to protect their hero against justice. They can then be held for what they stand for.
Mam, i love your show, best wishes from vienna
Thanks, as every morning to the DN-Team
indeed
For their biased reporting
@@tmnt10000 what's Your favorite news source? genuinely curious....SIKE
I HAVE been wearing a mask this whole time, to protect myself and others, and YOU should too!
Me, too, plus I sanitise my hands when I enter and exit the store.
Don't tell me what to do. You have no right, no one does, to decide how others should live their lives. Live your own life, not mine.
@@jeremystein4534 🐑
@@nightmoves5982 live your life as long as you don't hurt or harm other people and that includes not wearing a mask you dunce
@@nightmoves5982
Lost two Friends this week, they were in their 30's. Someone should not need to tell you not to be an dim-witted ass. Not wearing a mask is not resistance against oppression, its a sign of non-intelligence.
Those old men/women can run from the voters but they can't run from the grim reaper, the equalizer.
@sheparddog117 health insurance... Eat kale. Long term health insurance; head for the hills and get eaten by a bear. Our choices are pretty grim if you fall between dirt poor where healthcare is free and able to dish out over 300+ per month to get the lousiest of coverage.
Is America the problem ?
America is a failing experiment
The republican insurrection
GOD PROTECT ,
BLESS AND HELP
' DEMOCRACY NOW ' !
how much are the drug companies charging governments for the vaccines ? how much has the value of their company stock risen ?
Billions and that's understating it.
SPUTNIK V $10/dose, Pfizer $20/dose
Why was she allowed to run for public office after all she wrote?
Amazing how far republicans will go for their overlords.
Apparently, Their Shame Has No Bottom.
@@fishtolizard3930 It's more like their bottoms have no shame.
You mean Satan, right?
Does it feel weird to be reporting positive things about the president? Because it’s weird to hear lol 🥳
"Months to get vaccinated" is the new positive reporting, that's how low we sank under Tr**p.
Correct 😀
JOE AND JILL WENT TO THE HILL...TO CARRY CORPORATE WATER....THEY TOOK BERNIE DOWN, TO OWN THE CROWN...WITH JILL SAYING "SWALLOW IT" AFTER....
Thanks Amy.
Taylor Green has no business being there....wow!
Somebody needs to check that some one is not hiding in cabinet members houses holding their family hostage to make them not do the right things they are required to do.
Thank you for shedding light on Palestine. ❤️ Your work is so important! Please, since you are based in New York, kindly address Andrew Yang's anti-BDS stance to mount pressure for him to reconsider this position for the mayoral race. Force this issue to become more widely known! Thanks.
We love you Amy you should run for office
Thankiuu Amy ! Xxx
it feels so relieving to hear "former" president trump
... five Republicans lawmakers who say enforcing the Law is unconstitutional
Everybody at Democracy Now, stay safe. We need you. All of you and especially Amy are Americas living National Treasures. Blessings.
Maybe Texas should not get gov funds for two weeks?
Joe, at least, knows how to pretend to care about pandemics.
Nice timing on the zoom: 7:03-7:17.
Something newsworthy is that the $600 is arriving by debit card. People think its a scam and are throwing it away. Secondly, wonder if its a way to track how its spent?
Mitch and. Paul don’t care about anyone but themselves like Cruz
Cloth mask covers aren't masks, that's a mask COVER. Those cloth masks are not N95 capable.
Give us the Stimulus while we still ALIVE !
I SEE HUMANS ARGUING AND WARRING AMONG THEMSELVES AND AMONG OURSELVES.... WHILE MOTHER EARTH IS GOING TRHOUGH DESOLATION AND IS BEING DESTROYED AS WE SPEAK RIGHT NOW
M.T. Greene has got to GO! Get rid of this poison.
Thank tou Dn'
I wonder who's going out for dinner while thousand are struggling and dying.
Not me
newsome
The Wall Street fat cats and the Ivanka Trump socialites.
Yeah, reopen schools, that'll work out great :/
Because of the pandemic ,the homeless, those who are imprisoned,the ones that are less fortunate,and elderly now run a greater risk of this curse that is sweeping across the world, praying for Mercy and forgiveness should be natural event and be addressed to the masses for if we pray it will help healing and closures to those we lose we love and the ones we do not know are infected with no cause of there own,please God have mercy on theirs souls.God speed for our world to recover,and pass thru our without hendrence.Thank you God,Lord hear our prayers...
Will Biden shut down pipelines on indigenous land?
It is considered federal land, so yes he will. Lots of unhappy "indigenous " people out there now.
I think that he stopped or plan to stop the pipeline.
His new Secretary Of The Interior is an Indigenous woman Deb Haaland, she has been a fierce fighter for Indigenous land rights and so I’m sure pipelines on Native lands will be on the agenda. It’s awesome to have the land safely back in Indigenous hands.. Also Biden stopped the Keystone pipeline.
@@kaliimc why should Native people be unhappy ? Native people want these pipelines shut down on Indigenous land. So tell me why we should be unhappy.
@@meb777 he stopped construction on keystone pipeline. Wondering will he shut down existing lines that are in operation but went against treaties from the 1800s & 1900s
My favorite part of the show is the Warren Peace report!
Josh He-hawley braying in stead of praying
The last good things out of KY were: long rifles & great bourbon. And then there’s Rand “Pall” who fell o’er the Land like a Pandemic. Oh wait...
Open border and an open world, man✌️
Let's give more aid to others in need. Why don't we do something for our citizend?
why can't we do both? we spend more than the next ten countries combined on our military, imagine if we took half of that and spent it on feeding and housing the world! if I remember correctly Jesus said love your neighbors as you do your self, wouldn't it be nice if we could all do that?
@@jonni2317 ...exactly. The two endeavors are not mutually exclusive.
Biden isn't serious about racial equity or justice in the least.
Harris in his ear, is.
Ekaterina is a Russian name...just saying...
Same old news every day isn’t anything else happening in the United States or the world that we should know about????
If Hawley has been a terrorist-sympathizer since he was 15, then he can't claim that his part in the insurrection was a matter of mindlessly following the inciter-in-chief. _(Not that that would have been any kind of excuse.)_
The casino owners should have every thing they own taken away and GIVEN to the indigenous tribes
More Rough News... Thank You, Anyway, for the Fine Delivery. Rather Know, than Not.
Max Igan tells truth
Even though he didn't actually apologize for the crime bill we'll just pretend that he did right Amy. That man never apologized for it. Don't lie for them
Boris johnson is the first politician/world leader I have heard in four years take responsibility for anything whether it was his fault or not. As far as I am concerned the WHO top chief is the person who should have been knocked out of office for his role in this pandemic to begin with.
Suggestion....reach out to Professor John Ashton UK DDN regarding Corona Virus
I live in UK. After the first lockdown in June 2020, the UK govt. kept saying to all UK citizens to "Eat out to help out". To help the restaurant businesses grow back their profits after the lock down. How rubbish is that!!! Your own govt. telling you to go out and eat in restaurants and encouraging crowds to gather together round a table for the sake of these businesses to earn money. All about money making scheme for UK govt. forget about the health of the nation. Back in July & August 2020 I noticed restaurants & pubs were full of crowded people. So of course a new strain of virus was about to occur here in UK. Now Boris Johnson says "Sorry!!" How can the british govt. live with themselves? They have no concious.
The US Supreme Court has dropped multiple emoluments cases against Donald Trump accusing him of profiting off the presidency, describing the remaining cases as “moot” now that he is no longer in office.
In tossing out the remaining cases against the former president, the nation’s highest court also ordered appeals courts in New York and Virginia to dismiss the lawsuits against him.
The justices threw out lower court rulings that had allowed the lawsuits - one filed by the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland and the other by plaintiffs including a watchdog group - to proceed, while also declining to hear Mr Trump's appeals of those decisions.
If the Biden’s Team does not purge all of Trump’s appointees from all Government Departments
They are just going to sabotage any effort to hold Trump accountable for all the crimes he has committed before and while in office And all his cronies who helped him.
Remember Trump People Run:
The Justice Department
The IRS
The SEC
The CDC
The EPA
The Treasury Department
The Post office
Voice Of America
UVC filters, supplements (D3, zinc, quercetin, NAC), and a high-fiber antiviral diet may also help reduce COVID severity.
They need to limit indoor dining or "real indoor dining" and not the crap where they build the enclosed building outside and call it outdoors
You can work out in crowded conditions, breathing heavily, without masks. Our method for who we shut down is only to eliminate competition for large corporate businesses. Eliminating the spread needed to be done 12 months ago. Our town still can't enforce masks, leading to our infection and death rate 150 % of national stats.
Only 420,000 death out of 340,000,000. No company cares as long as so many are alive and pay for their love ones.
Lock him (Trump) up!
Every failure, that was in a position of power, should be in prison already. Steven Sund, Walter Piatt, Ryan McCarthy, Christopher Miller, and every other strategically _derelict_ commander. Same goes for rank and file members, who were complicit (or passive). What does it take to arrest someone who's clearly guilty, when that criminal has an _ounce_ of power?
Thank you for this, as always!
Surely there should be consequences for encouraging or spring violence against other citizens, like ones colleagues in Congress??

It is not mandatory to vote in America.
Whoa! Boris! You're saying you're taking "full responsibility for everything the government has done"?! You _do_ realize that's taking responsibility for _mass murder,_ right? I mean, kudos to you if you're actually willing to face the legal consequences for mass murder, but something tells me that you're either not aware of the full implications of what you're saying, OR you're bullshitting us.
Trump: impeached over an insurrection.
Clinton: impeached over an erection.
Johnson: impeached over a rejection.
Let me get this straight the baker's flew to Yukon to get the shot? I keep an ice Chopper by my front door... And I don't want the shot
so weird hearing an oficial has been confirmed rather than being an acting as
Did the people get arrested for building the gallow at Capital????
I doubt it,Erin! Republican Senate don't even want to impeach Trump over it!
Online discourse is just blackmail waiting for an opportunity.
Thanks to Trump’s efficiency the guy could be distracted by a 🐿 he’s screwed up but can’t be held responsible??? Maybe in a real trial he won’t be so lucky?
No mention of Boogaloo bois a the "insurrection".
I don't want no injection ever never
Good for you!
not even one woman in that crowd in yemen
Byme should not just and the privatesPresent system he should have those people who owned and run a private prison as well as any political associates be criminally prosecuted For acts of extortion on a financial ground and financial benefit
and he should also make also make these people own any private prisons to be made pay a massive compensation for gross Inhumane treatment.
and that's not the least he can do he can abolish it Ice For torture neglect and never ending the list go on on.
Blinken has to look straight and say Saudi intervention air strikes in Yemen is illegal .
Because of Trump...people that are dying...
Desperate people often resort to desperate action of violence, the best way to stem such behavior is to help these people before they become extremists, putting embargo’s on countries suffering from food shortages, only make people more desperate, in my opinion and History proves that punishing citizens in countries for past mistakes by their government creates a perfect environment for extremists, like in Germany and Russia after WWI and many other authoritarian regimes...but helping them rebuild is the better path, like in Germany and Japan after WWII, these lesson are often ignored by those in government who only see vengeance and punishment, like long term imprisonment for minor criminal behavior... Thank you!!
Excuse me. What is meant by saying “states and tribes” ?
Native American tribes
*HE WAS PRESIDENT WHEN IT HAPPENED...AND HE'S PROBABLY PLANNING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN IN 2024. YIKES !!! 👁️👁️*
Blinken in other words: "We will join the western neo-liberal family again to play the main role within the same. Our efforts will remain the same as before, nothing will fundamentally change. No, the world should not breath freely without our consensus. We need a few enemies, like Russia, China and Venezuela, for the sake of our military and thus the economy and we make as always the public believe they are ones."
"Could indicate" ...this impeachment show is dead in the water. Instead of playing to their big donor class with this impeachment nonsense, any chance that these democrats could do something to help normal americans, like financial assistance to those suffering through this the pandemic.
They are not going to do that! They will be lining their own greedy pockets though! I hate them all. Pathetic
the end of the Republican Party... ✨🌟🇱🇷🌟✨
