Never forget.
Don't Let Democratic Centrists Hijack the Majority With Their Cowardice!

Vichy Democrats decided to betray their party, their base, and Americans fighting for lower healthcare costs based on a bullshit promise by Republicans. Never forget.

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

Inflation is on the rise — particularly at the grocery store.

One big reason why?

Minimal competition opens the door to maximal price-gouging — and the opportunity to pull shady tricks like this. https://youtu.be/ad5GfgrPkYo?si=iDRiVN9_TsjGsD9k

It was obvious that he wasn’t the only one who’d spent a long sleepless night; it pained him to see how pale she was. But he’d already determined not to make it easy for her to say what she’d come to say. So he simply stood there next to her.

His flaming mop of hair brushed the 6-1/2-ft mark. His skin was fair & freckled, his body lean but broad-shouldered. It seemed to consist of many angles, all at odds with one another. Yet he moved with a peculiar compact grace, as if aware that his size might be frightening to some.
