15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.
Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty:
The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body.
That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

“Water, the basic component of all life, had been deemed a threat to Brawndo's profit margin. The solution came during the budget crisis of 2330, when the Brawndo Corporation simply bought the F.D.A. and the F.C.C., enabling them to say, do, and sell, anything they wanted.”

- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Overturning Citizens United would mean we could make progress on the pressing issues facing our nation like: climate change, affordable healthcare, well-paying jobs, and quality education. We must #EndCitizensUnited before it’s too late.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
