Nick Kristof travelled to South Sudan to talk to people who are dying because Elon Musk cut their 12-cent-a-day HIV meds:
Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article)
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Canada and the US have a long history together. We have the largest trading relationship in the world, and transact $1.5 billion dollars every day. The border between Detroit, MI and Windsor, Ontario equals ALL American exports to Japan.
This is excellent, and well worth the watch.🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸

Every single Ohio GOP Representative (10 older white men) voted to gut Medicaid.

It's the healthcare provider for 3,000,000 Ohioans -- 25% of the state's population

And 6 in 10 seniors in nursing homes rely on medicaid

Call these Congressmen and give them a piece of your mind
