Australians who survived the 1st mass shooting in 29 years will pay nothing for healthcare because Australia guarantees health & regulates guns.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Viola Fletcher carried the truth of Tulsa—what was taken, destroyed, and never reconciled.
In today’s edition of Let’s Address This, I reflect on her legacy and the stark connection between the disinformation and violence that was used to spread hate back then, to how it’s still employed today.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
