Oh Marco, you spineless worm.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Shirley Chisholm was right then and right now.
Celebrating Black History Month a day early.
The indomitable Shirley Chisholm speaking truths to all women across America.
Listen up ladies as many still need to heed her wise words from so long ago.

12 years since Sandy Hook and still, we're mourning lives lost to mass shootings.
➡️Over 1.2 million Americans shot
➡️480,000 killed by guns
➡️5,400+ mass shooting incidents.
NO MORE "thoughts and prayers". We want action.
Repeat after me: #EndGunViolenceNow

I keep trying to write a sentence that expresses how I feel about the latest children's school murder. Have you ever looked in the eyes of a parent of a dead child? And to know that it was entirely preventable? It's the fucking guns, and we will never do anything to stop the slaughter.

The flood of alternative news sites is giving me life. We fight on. Thank goodness for Bluesky, even though it is infected with stubborn neoliberals.

They guard against unnecessary care. These fuckers.
United CEO Andrew Witty gave an address to the company today (leaked to me), telling employees "we guard against...unnecessary care" and that "There are very few people in the history of the U. S. healthcare industry who had a bigger positive effect on American healthcare than Brian [Thompson]."

They will change nothing. Once the story subsides, Anthem BCBS will quietly go ahead and charge for extra anesthesia. These scum do not care about anything but profit.
