They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

Lyft has done this for over a year now. I drive just Lyft for this reason. 90% of my passengers are female.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

The weirdest right wing argument right now is “Obama deported more people!” So you’re a fan of Obama now? You admit his immigration policies worked without relentless cruelty? Ok

what distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. the prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."
