Feminist. She/her. Philadelphian.
I investigate cases involving the catastrophic injury & death of working people. How a society treats those who do its work shows how good it is. No one should be permanently injured or killed making a living.

We need a government that prioritizes dignified safe work that pays a decent wage.
Everyone should be able to be safe & healthy- regardless of what work they do.We need construction workers, health care workers,people who pick up the trash & who work in restaurants.We should respect their importance

So one major drug dealer gets the seal of approval, while the one for whom there's less evidence will have his country blown to smithereens for its oil. I think most Americans would see the hypocrisy, rather than his bullshit reasons.

This is how MSM is complicit in the trump propaganda machine. Not only w headers that purposely or ineptly promote BS from the lying liars who lie, but by snacking on R-talking points endlessly, giving life to utter nonsense (Biden's autopen) & ignoring the literal crimes going on in front of our 👁️
When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

RFK Jr. is obviously a dangerous fraudster. But he would not have the power he currently has without being aided by the Republican Congress—in some cases, by members who should know better.
I despise RFK Jr. but I also harbor a different flavor of contempt for doctors like Cassidy and Barasso.

EVERY SINGLE decision Piggy the psychopath makes can be explained with "how does this benefit Piggy."
Every EO, every tariff, every "environmental" policy, every appointment, every foreign policy, every hole of golf he cheats his way through.
It's pretty simple really.
Congratulations, America!!

It is not just that health insurance costs a lot. It is that in the United States, it is one of the single largest profit centers, and nobody with power has an incentive to fix it, because they're all making money off it.

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Talked to some National Guard kids from West Virginia on the street near my office. They don't have leave to go home for Thanksgiving this week.
They can't see their families, because the president wants to use them as political props. No doubt, though, there'll be a feast at Mar-a-Lago Thursday.

Trump, Musk, and the GOP killed hundreds of thousands of kids around the world.
That should be a major story and talking point.
They cut USAID to "save" from "waste," but gave 40 billion to Argentina and threw a Great Gatsby party and let Kash Patel burn our money for his honeypot GF.

The single biggest problem of the Trump administration is that an authoritarian government REQUIRES MORE PEOPLE, NOT LESS.
You can't fire 12% of workforce and then go "Huh, lets use the state to crush all dissent! Brilliant!"
