Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I think most of us who teach in the public health field realize we can no longer trust governmental websites. I think this is something I can give to try to instill "hope" for public health students, whom have not had an uplifting semester. A few suggestions here. www.theatlantic.com/health/2025/...
Who to Trust If You Can’t Trust the CDC
No American institution is equipped to replace the agency. But a few trusted resources can help.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

My plans for Thanksgiving weekend are clear, I'm so over corporations that back the admins policies, cave to anti-DEI pressure, let ICE terrorize our communities, and chase tax breaks while people go hungry. Follow @weaintbuyingit to get involved #WeAintBuyingIt!

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.

The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

A man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨
