It really is amazing how Murdoch, Musk, Trump all the most elite of the elite, go around convincing people that it's "the elite" out to get them. And people buy it.
Rubert Murdoch's farewell letter to Fox says (real quote): "Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class. Much of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth."
By that, he was referring to other people.

It now looks like, per another brilliant report by ProPublica, that our dear Justice Clarence Thomas also participated in Koch Network donor events. Is there no end to his corruption and influence peddling? Don’t answer that, I know the answer.

It's easy to give up. But in recent weeks, hospitals & counties have reinstated mask mandates, state & city governments have announced free mask bills & programs, & the federal government has said they will send free tests again.
Don't give up. Organizing & speaking up works!

US COVID SHOTS ARE FREE.
Please do not let Walgreens and CVS mislead you or your family members or neighbors about this! They are the biggest part of the federal bridge (free shots for uninsured people) program, but the rollout’s logistics have been a little scattered and you may get pushback.

PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

Throughout history, healthcare workers have complained about washing hands, wearing gloves and other PPE, not being allowed to smoke inside, and much more. Yet we implemented strong guidelines anyway to keep patients safe. We should do the same for masks. #KeepMasksInHealthcare

They are pretending COVID doesn’t exist so they don’t have to provide basic worker rights like sick days, remote work, or worker protections. COVID is a labor justice issue.

Does anyone, left or right, really think a second Donald Trump term would be anything other than a revenge tour?
Come the next election, you can either vote for someone who will move the country forward or a self-involved megalomanic hell bent on getting even with the world.
Those are the choices
