The War on Drugs costs $51 Billion a year and has been going on for 50 years. The cost in human lives and suffering has been even higher. It is a massive failure and it should end. #EndTheDrugWar
New evidence in support of unconditional cash: 50 homeless people were each provided $7,500. After one year they were better off than the control group to the point that the shelter system was saved $8,100 per person, for a total savings of $405,000.

Pence doesn't really like answering the questions asked of him ... he just keeps repeating the same talking points I suppose he was told to ...

What is the purpose of a $22 trillion economy if you can’t take care of your people during a pandemic? We need #EmergencyMoneyForThePeople now. 74% of Americans agree including a majority of both parties. Congress do your job. Support H.R. 6496 NOW. https://t.co/lV7Nnk4ez2
Without insurance, the cost of a six-day hospital stay for COVID could cost $73,000.
27 million Americans, and counting, don't have insurance.
If this doesn't make the case for Medicare for All, I don't know what does.
I don't know how many times I need to say this before Congress will listen, but billionaires and corporate executives don't need tax breaks or bailouts.
Working people do.
A $500 billion corporate slush fund wasn't enough for Senate Republicans.
They snuck a $90 billion tax change into the coronavirus bill — 80% of which will benefit only those who make more than $1 million a year.
When I say we have socialism for the rich, this is what I mean.
This article would not exist if we already had unconditional basic income. Read it and understand that without UBI, "this is going to kill small-town America." It is not right that towns live and die based on a single company their economy depends upon.

So let me get this straight: We can afford to give airline companies billions in bailout even when they’ve spent billions on stock buybacks, but we can’t afford to bail out the postal service?
In the world's richest nation:
Food lines stretching for miles.
Mass graves.
Homeless sleeping in parking lots on socially-distanced grids.
Nurses without adequate protective gear.
Essential workers without paid sick leave.
Ventilator shortages.
This is unacceptable.
I hope people don’t have to lose a loved one for them to grasp what the fuck Bernie Sanders has been so cranky about. This was life and death before coronavirus and it’s exponentially more so now. When there’s a fire and only one guy is yelling “Fire!” that guy has my support.
Every banker or financial analyst who says the economy was going great before coronavirus is admitting that they want individual workers to be two missed paychecks away from abject poverty. They just get nervous when millions lose those paychecks simultaneously.
@krystalball@Alyssa_Milano Mainstream media doesn't cover a lot of important and credible information so I don't think this is a very good argument. I am not saying believe everyone but I would not be so quick to discredit someone over something like that either.
@DEnforcer28 @LoaphMeat @MyLifeIsMunitz No matter how much I love a candidate I never want to just be a "fangirl" that compromises my own personal beliefs and morals for the sake of loyalty to a political candidate. I agree it can happen with any figure head.
