Continually disgusted not only by the blatant Islamophobia and racism, but also by the Republican Party’s embrace of Fine and his views.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
