Trump saying he wants billionaires to be “tremendously successful” just weeks after saying he doesn’t care about YOUR finances is the perfect reminder of who the Republican Party is really fighting for.
Slavery was legal.
People who freed slaves were considered criminals.
Segregation was legal.
People who stood up for justice were considered criminals.
War is legal.
People who advocate for peace are considered targets.
Never use legality as a guide to morality.
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.
Hi... Norwegian here.
When a woman finds out she’s pregnant, here’s what happens:
She calls her GP or midwife.
Appointment within a week.
7 check-ups across the pregnancy.
Two ultrasounds included.
All antenatal care is 100% free.
The birth itself is also free.
After the birth: A year of paid leave.
Then daycare at $124/month.
No insurance.
No denied claims.
No bill.
Just a system that says: we’ve got you..
Having to watch the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet kill everything in their path on their quest to hoard the most amount of money possible is excruciating.
Now you know:
There have been more J6 pardonees (96) re-arrested than fraudulent votes counted by the Heritage Foundation for the last 40 years (77).
The criminals should never have been pardoned.
I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.
3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men
Raped
Cannibalized
Trafficked
Filmed
Terrorized
Tortured
Murdered
13, 14, 15 year children
And Zero arrests
Don’t stop talking about Epstein files
If three supreme court justices currently believe that Trump can change the constitution with an executive order that means it's time to expand the supreme court
Your reminder that this sonofabitch Mitch McConnell, stole not 1 but 2 SCOTUS seats and packed the lower court with right-wing fanatics and refused to persuade Republican Senator's to convict Trump in both impeachment trials. He's responsible for this fucking nightmare.
Shoutout to all the Christians who spent the week telling Haitian refugees to go back to their country and then woke up this morning and head to church.
You're the real hypocrites.
Since we’re apparently doing this: At 27, Barack Obama was starting Harvard Law after years as a community organizer. At 27, Donald Trump was sued by the DOJ for racial discrimination in housing. One was expanding civil rights; the other was violating them. We know who history will admire.
I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security.
Will you join me?🤚
