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.

Bernie’s common sense and lifelong focus on the eorking class and veterans has always been exemplary. I wish Washington wasn’t such a Good Old Boys network, and would have embraced his ideology 30 years ago.

Winston Churchill was right: "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.”
Too many Americans have fought and died defending democracy. We must stand with our European allies against the authoritarianism of Putin and Trump.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
