regular US policing.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Like how can you really boil liberalism down to its most basic components more succinctly than saying "its politically bad to help people" with a straight face?

What can you even say except lmao

Will brings up she can do this because her campaign "virtually prints money," but her campaign virtually prints money because she does stuff like this.

There is an enormous appetite to do good things right now in a system that rewards greed and evil. This very contrast created that money machine.

As someone who isnt with their family this Christmas, I think you should all stare at your phones and angrily argue with a billionaire who also is fuming and should be with his gamily instead. This is best use of time and will get you into the holiday spirit youve been missing.

If you are saying universal healthcare *cant* realistically happen with our current political system and economy you should be advocating for revolution to overthrow that system instead of being ok with no universal healthcare

Would you believe me if I told you Mark Cuban didn’t want a peer reviewed answer to his question from the top medical journal
Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

People, I’m sure he super duper appreciates your actual responses but I hate to tell you. Billionaires will not give us the future we want. We must organize for it and take it and build it ourselves

The reason I know you’re full of shit is because you’re not brain dead and there’s tons of resources and plans.

If you genuinely cared you would use your money to push it forward. But you are a billionaire and your material conditions compel you to accumulate instead.

Like I know a big benefit of running AP stories is someone else did the work, but if they're factually incorrect on their face, maybe you shouldn't run them.

40-50% of your municipal budget depending on the city
