If you're supporting ANY politician who doesn't support single payer healthcare ( #MedicareForAll) then you need to find a different politician to support.
Only when as a whole we begin doing this we're going to keep running around in circles fighting for what's right. It's time

What got us Trump was the GOP being a malevolent force for evil and the Democrats at every turn refusing to fire full blast at the right (including before Trump). It’s obviously not all on Harris but a cycle with Democrats assuming the left would just show up without any motivation is a big reason.
They have a point. “She didn’t earn my vote” got us Trump. Like I think it’s good to push against the party for better policy but when the alternative is Trump, it’s too much.

Yesterday, after 10 years of work, I decided to give up trying to find a publisher for my book and just do it myself. This morning, literally 24 hours later, I got an email from a major publisher asking to share my decade long project. A much appreciated late Christmas present. 😊🙏

Why exactly aren't democrats overwhelmingly supporting M4A & fighting to get it done? Because they, just like republicans, take HUGE bribes from the health insurance industry. And the industry profits from copays, deductibles, and denying payments. We need an ARMY of Luigis to fix that problem.

Sooooo nearly 80 years since that film came out? Wow, so in 80 years you & the rest of Congress have done what to end the wealthy getting everything while the poor & working class get nada?
Ya, probably not the best post. We've been suffering for decades despite poverty being fully solvable.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” came out in 1946, but its message still rings true. The wealthy prosper, while the working class struggle to get by. 1 in 3 Americans have had to dip into emergency savings, and 40% can’t cover a $1,000 emergency. That doesn't seem like a Wonderful Life for working families.

This is almost certainly true and conversely I’m sure why there is particular emphasis placed on venerating/pushing the idea that super-young women should be considered most attractive/sought after because they’ll be more vulnerable/easily manipulated
I’m 100% convinced that the myth that women get unnatractive past 30 is entirely because by that age you’ve been through enough shitty experiences with men that you’re harder to manipulate.
It’s about not being as vulnerable and as naive, not about genuinely losing attractiveness.

Wow! I'd love to know who the illustrator was who did the design because this is beautiful! 👀
It's also a "large" bill, meaning is size & measurement. Much larger than US paper money today 💵
