Did you know that before Nixon and Reagan, health insurance companies in America were non-profit? Yep, they screamed about "socialized medicine" and gradually shifted the focus of our entire healthcare system from public welfare to... making bucks off illness.

I believe Ronald Reagan did immense harm to our country and should go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever. However even a Reagan hater like me has to admit he knew the Russians were the bad guys. Until now no president was 100% evil.

Once again, a group of predominantly white people are cheering the creation of concentration camps for people they deem “undesirable,” and the terrorizing of communities.
I do NOT see Black folks en masse voting for or championing this shit. And we NEVER have.

A thing I believe is that governments should¹ pass laws banning the development or deployment of machinery that reads thoughts. The fact this technology does not exist makes it even more important it be illegal

if this Supreme Court nullifies the 14th Amendment then i don't really have any problems with Democratic officials ignoring federal law for the foreseeable future
at that point we're just in a state of exception

Something is very broken in a society that sees concentrated, absurd wealth AND mass extreme poverty. Capitalism has ALWAYS created millions more poor people than rich ones. Rich people believe that their wealth should exempt them from taxation, so we squeeze tariff blood from turnips, instead.
