There are people lamenting that the system is broken. I want to remind you that the system is working exactly as intended.
The Senate and Electoral College were established to protect landowners/slavery from democracy.
We only have the rights we have today, because people fought for them.

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

Bernie Sanders has said in the Senate after Susan Collins reportedly laughed about the new funding bill:
“If this bill passes, certain groups will see their premiums triple. When you remove healthcare from 15 million people, 50,000 Americans will die who didn’t have to. Do you think that’s funny?”

DHS initially claimed that the officers were engaged in a "targeted" enforcement operation--that is, this was not a random racial profiling incident, but the man was a known suspect who they had reason to believe was in the country illegally. But guess what... DHS LIES x.com/DHSgov/statu...

The USPS is a vital public service that serves every single community. Wells Fargo created a report outlining how they could break it up and sell it off - that would destroy jobs, raise prices, and gut service. Postal workers and the public are fighting back — and we won’t be sold out.

Maria is a genius. Legitimately.
Prison bars that were once used as instruments of confinement at the Cook County Jail will be repurposed as musical instruments as part of a performance Wednesday by Chicago-based artist Maria Gaspar.
Prison bars fashioned into sonic sculpture for musical performance at Gallery 400
The performance will use a sonic sculpture — made partly of glass rods cast from iron prison bars — to express what liberation sounds like.
