Incarcerated people in Oklahoma are working in call centers... and sometimes they make calls on behalf of conservative super PACs.

What would happen if they devoted that same attention to the thousands of Americans who die each year because they can’t afford healthcare?

They just rescued 163 kidnapped kids in underground cages with duct tape over their mouths from a human trafficking ring in Florida and it hasn’t been on the news once because it’s 3 white maga Christian dudes that ran it. Take all the time you need with that one
