Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA.
Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it.

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

A religious leader asked for kindness toward vulnerable people. The full machinery of right-wing outrage has now been deployed against her personally. That it takes great bravery to pose this simple request is something to ponder.
Can we summon the courage to follow her lead and speak out?
