📈 Medical costs are climbing faster than wages.
Families are being forced to choose between rent, food, or lifesaving care.
This isn’t a “market failure.” It’s the market working exactly as designed—for profit, not patients.
It’s time to change the system.

The only reason you assassinate every Al Jazeera journalist left in Gaza is because you don’t want anyone to document the genocide you are about to accelerate.
Any politician and any journalist who cannot call this genocide for what it is, is complicit, and I hope history remembers you as such.

States that expanded Medicaid saw:
🔹 6% drop in mortality
🔹 25% increase in early cancer detection
🔹 50% decrease in medical debt
Medicaid saves lives and prevents bankruptcies.
Why would anyone want to cut that?

Silence is a choice. There is no neutrality on this issue. If you are not speaking out you are saying that you are okay with genocide.
Illegal military occupation ✅
Forced into central camps ✅
Authorized Final Plan ✅
For those who are still silent—What mental gymnastics are yall doing to pretend this is anything But Israel committing genocide of Palestinians?🤔

I see many voices who were silent the last 22 months of genocide, now speak. To them I say:
1. Welcome to the right side of history.
2. Some (many?) will be upset at your silence—Keep speaking.
3. How you speak up matters: Elevate Palestinian voices & donate to PCRF, Anera, & families on the ground.

STOP STARVING GAZA NOW: The people of Gaza have called on us to act. We are joining the call to people of conscience to stand against the U.S.-backed Israeli-manufactured famine in Gaza. People of all age groups are being gruesomely starved, with deaths due to malnutrition on the rise every day.

ICE now has a larger budget than most of the world’s militaries.
A reminder that police have only ever *responded* to alleged crime, but a living wage, food & water security, & accessible healthcare have always *prevented* crime.
So if you want safer communities, invest in people—not punishments.

The Republican big (bullshit) budget bill was sneakily structured to delay its most harmful effects and quietly reverse the more popular benefits.
But the immediate effects are clear: A weakened health care system and an empowered authoritarian police force.
It will only get worse from here...
