And about folks on SNAP who may or may not buy the occasional crab leg.
Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

If you don't have insurance through an employer, ask your doctor and healthcare providers what the self-pay rates are — those rates are different.
Even if your primary care physician charged $200/visit, you could see them every month and it would still cheaper than health insurance.

Healthcare has become a luxury item in a country full of people who can no longer afford luxuries.
Makes you wonder. Is the system broken? Or is it doing exactly what it was built to do: keep the sick desperate, the healthy scared, and the rich reaping the profits?

The Heritage Foundation is a fascist antiblack organization.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Fuck you lady.
You clearly didn’t earn those titles and positions through work, research, and/or studies. Did they gave you those because you’re white? Do you know how to search the internet for factual information, or do you just coast through spreading your racists bullshit hoping it’ll stick?

Say yes to what feels right, even if it surprises you. This is the kind of day where one small decision could lead to something much bigger. Trust your instincts, they're sharper than you think.

The federal government is putting its full weight behind purging Black people from public life and the press and opposition party is silent as it does so.
“The Committee’s unfounded accusations, dependence on clearly compromised sources, and selective presentation of ‘evidence’ represent an unprecedented abuse of congressional power—designed not to find the truth, but to silence leadership that refuses to yield to political pressure.”
