Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

➡️ If you earn under $94k, your tax bill would go up under Trump's tax and tariff plans.
➡️ The middle 20% of Americans would see an average tax hike of $1,530 in 2026 alone.
➡️The richest 5% would get a tax break.
➡️ This would cost America $7.5 trillion.

I should think that calling labeled posts censorship, hiring right wing nuts to fact check, adding Dana White to your board, and moving what is left of your moderation team to Texas counts as "virtueless signalling."

Voters figured Donald Trump would do better at managing the economy. The latest economic forecasts tell a different story. Your 401k may increase but you could lose your job. My latest.

Elon Musk is the South African Grinch who stole Christmas. Thanks to the Elon Musk/Trump/GOP the government shutdown means active duty military and hundreds of thousands of federal workers will NOT get paid--just in time for the holidays! But the wealthy oligarchs like Musk will be 100$ fine!

This is disturbing. Trump is strong arming (notice the photo) De Santis into making his daughter-in-law a senator and his supporters think it’s a good idea.
Trump wants his daughter-in-law in the Senate. DeSantis may defy him.

The issue with Walmart isn’t DEI, it’s the fact that in nine states alone, Walmart had 14,500 employees on SNAP and 10,350 on Medicaid.
Instead of attacking corporations for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, people should be calling out the low wages.
