Biden’s spent 2 years pretending he can’t sign the piece of paper that would cancel our student debt like he promised, but he managed to bail out a bank for irresponsible rich people in 24 hours 👍

If PPP Loans can be canceled, so can student debt.

The US banned Hawaiian language, poisons our water, devastated our universal healthcare, overthrew our country, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence.

Some clinics refused treatment to women unless they agreed to "la operación" (hysterectomy or tube tying).

Many were falsely told it was reversible or they needed it to get work.

Many clinics that did it were owned by Procter & Gamble heir Clarence Gamble.

[AJ+ @ajplus]

In the 1950s, Gamble and U.S. eugenicists began trials for birth control pills in Puerto Rico — targeting poor women, not telling them of side effects or that it was a trial.

Hormones were extreme doses (20x modern pills).

At least 3 women died, their deaths never investigated.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works, huh?

While over 1.1 million Americans died from COVID, 10 pharmaceutical CEOs are in line to receive $1.6 billion in golden parachutes including:

$926 million for Moderna's CEO
$130 million for Regeneron's CEO
$113 million for Pfizer's CEO
$91 million for Eli Lilly's CEO

Outrageous.

As a Jewish American of Ukrainian descent, I almost vomit every time Republicans like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene say that Ukraine is run by Nazis.

Let's get a few things straight here:

1) Ukraine is run by a Jewish man, who lost several of his uncles in the holocaust. His grandfather fought the Nazis in WWII. President Zelensky won an astounding 73% of the vote in 2019.

2) Yes, there are neo-nazis in Ukraine, just like there are neo-nazis in America, Russia, Canada and everywhere else in the world.

3) In Ukraine, just like most other nations, the neo-nazis make up the fringe, far-right political party(s). In the most recent 2019 Ukrainian election, only 2% of the popular vote supported this far right group, compared to the 73% that supported the Jewish Zelensky.

4) Only 1 member of the 450 member Ukrainian parliament represents the far-right Svoboda party that has some neo-nazi views. None of the other representatives support nazism in any form.

So if you are propagating the lie that America is helping fund Nazism or that Russia is "de-nazifying" Ukraine, you are spewing pure Russian propaganda and should be ashamed of yourself!
