I believe we are ALL better off when EVERYONE has housing, healthcare, food, and education. If you're fond of punching down - especially when it comes to blaming voters/non-voters - you probably shouldn't follow me. Thanks! Sorry, can't afford to donate.

A green guy (maga hat) and a blue guy (dem hat) stand before a button. The green guy says "pushing this button will begin the investigation into Epstein and trump" and then gets all sanctimonious and continues "but! Bill Clinton must also be investigated--" and then two panels of the democrat slamming the button again and again to the point where maga dude is begging him to stop

A man's hand holding a hammer. The handle recedes into the frame where the head is glinting in the light but fuzzy and out of focus.

Shingles vaccine in Ireland costs €480. In 2024 HIQA declined adding it to the national immunisation programme for adults saying it would not be a good use of HSE resources.

Push yer TDs to keep raising this issue

A good billionaire would be giving money in large chunks to help support a general strike so that people can strike without becoming homeless. You don't see that happening because there aren't any good billionaires.

Just love how the only recourses we seem to have left get you banned for saying.

Is Platner an idiot or a Nazi? Or both?

(both have been welcome in both parties for many decades - Biden's BFFs in Congress all through the 70s were avowed racist segregationists.)

The United States is a white supremacist enterprise built on stolen land obtained by genocide with the labor of enslaved people procured by genocide, so yes, a powerful white man abusing his power is an extension of those systems and implicates the entire country.

The Heritage Foundation wrote it. It wasn't just GOP-lite - it's GOP.
It legally mandates private insurance as the mandated way to receive or not receive health care - with massive guaranteed profit to those companies without guarantees of actual care.
