Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

While everything else seems like a shitshow, this is keeping me sane. Baby veggies are happy and I’ll start repotting soon 💚
Also got my hands in the ground and started some seeds outside this week.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.”

737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class.

Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."
