But in reality, he’s dragging us toward something else: the Gilded Age of the 1890s. https://youtu.be/fusV6pkf-_c?feature=shared

deukspine.com/blog/facet-h... A recent x-ray showed that I have this, which explains why I can't move after a few rough nights at work. Hopefully the treatment works for me, and everything becomes a bit less of a struggle.

No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.

The Republican reconciliation bill is a disaster.

Instead of slashing Medicaid and throwing 16 million people off of the health care they have, why don’t we do what every other wealthy nation does.

GUARANTEE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AS A HUMAN RIGHT.

My doctor listed "giddiness" on the diagnosis summary of my last visit. All right, okay. But I'll miss the more dramatic words that were once used to describe my symptoms. Panic. Vertigo.

Giddiness!

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all.
Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.
