I’m sure that gutting Medicaid and SNAP will help that.

Are you ready for a radical idea?

The function of our health care system should be to provide quality care for all, not huge profits for the insurance companies and the drug companies.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

1/ 🧵 RFK Jr. recently claimed that "none of the vaccines on the CDC’s childhood recommended schedule were tested against an inert #placebo." This isn't true, but the issue is more nuanced than a soundbite allows. Let's break it down. 👇

Huge shoutout to everyone this is what a global boycott looks like. Tesla just reported a staggering 71% drop in profits compared to Q1 of 2024. It’s working. Keep the pressure on.

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

Musk and Trump are working feverishly to cut Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, public education, nutrition and other programs.

Why? So Musk and other billionaires can get a huge tax break.

Together, we’re not going to let them get away with that.
