Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

News Analysis: For President Trump, a wide-ranging crackdown on mainstream media institutions and political opponents is not about hate speech, but about speech that he hates — namely, speech that is critical of him and his administration. nyti.ms/3VsCyO4

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?
