It was fitting that President Joe Biden was honored at the Democratic National Convention for his legacy, but he has some important matters left undone.
First, he must halt the sending of U.S. weapons to Israel for the Israelis’ continuing slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. More than 40,000 have been killed since last October. The U.S. must stop being an accomplice to genocide.
Second, Biden should give notice to Donald Trump and his election-denying cabal that any efforts to sabotage this November’s elections by preventing voting, delaying the vote count or mounting an insurrection will have serious consequences.
On our part, we need to donate, canvass and vote to ensure that a massive blue wave gives us our first woman president and extinguishes the authoritarian threat posed by Trump and the MAGA Republicans.
