CNN just ran a segment where the host is complaining that there's no memorial to Brian Thompson in NYC, like there was for John Lennon or Heather Heyer or George Floyd.
“[Luigi Mangione] killed a man with a family, with kids. I have real condolences for the healthcare CEO. This is a real person…But sometimes drug dealers get shot.”
— Chris Rock on the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassination
A presidential administration should be full of competent, experienced people who are ready to work for poor & working Americans however they can.
But Trump has prioritized billionaires, corporate CEOs, & donors who have a history of ripping off regular folks. That’s not right.
Right now Briana Boston is under house arrest, charged with terrorism, & faces 15 years prison for saying “Delay defend deny you’re next” to an insurance company, while Judge Conahan, who trafficked kids for $2.8M cash, & enabled several child deaths, is out free
This is America
This is Oligarchy.
Since Election Day, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg have become $232 billion richer & are now worth $920 billion combined. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
We must fight for an economy that works for all, not just the few.
It’s truly amazing that over the past few weeks, Americans have come together, not as Democrats or Republicans, but as working class people, to agree that the U.S. for-profit healthcare is deeply damaging to us.
Meanwhile, neither party is addressing it.
