Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

At least three news outlets had photo/video stollen by DHS to make an ICE propaganda video this week. (Also a Coldplay song?)
Was your IP stolen by DHS? Get in touch!
I'm with @freedom.press and we're concerned.
Also, anyone work with content ID tools that do copyright matching at scale?

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.
