The way they kill Healthcare is by making the premiums so high, no one buys it. Healthcare dies, except for the rich.

Instantly fixes wait times. Delays, overcrowding, hospital costs, etc, etc.

The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection.

It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.

Racism is the reason the Voting Rights Act was made into law in the first place!

When were White people ever denied voting rights in America prior to VRA or discriminated against at all?🤔

I'll wait. 🔥☕️

Narcissistic abusers are extremely convincing while their victim is left drained, traumatized, and fighting just to be heard. That's how he gets to look like the "good guy" while she's branded the "crazy one." This is the dangerous illusion abuse creates & why survivors are often dismissed.

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

If the Supreme Court nullifies the redistricting provisions of the 1965 Voters' Rights Act (and the court endorsed tm then a mere 2 years ago) the Democrats could lose 19 House seats, effectively putting the House out of its control for the foreseeable future

My stepson just went through naval boot camp and he said a higher up said “I hope you’re ready to go to war!” And insinuated that we are going to war with China.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.

The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.

It’s not hypothetical.

And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.

This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?

We need a Domestic Violence Registry because too many abusers walk free. Criminal justice system protects criminals and not victims afterall.

This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.
