We shouldn’t have to debate who “deserves” food, healthcare and housing.
We should be angry that these things aren’t guaranteed to everyone.
We should be outraged that the wealthy & corporations continue to profit off the misery and suffering of others.

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits.
Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases.
Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

Can we talk about Steve Bannon helping Jeffrey Epstein behind the scenes a fraction as much as we talked about Hunter Biden's corruption?

I know the meetings at the highest level of Harvard are like "But if we fire Larry Summers for sexually harassing a grad student and emailing with Jeffrey Epstein, we'd have to fire all the other 'distinguished professors' who did that too!"
I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!
