Americans are fed up with skyrocketing premiums, deductibles and copays - blatant insurer greed.

A majority now support #MedicareForAll - universal healthcare, lower costs and an end to insurance abuses.

Healthcare should be a right, not a bad scam.

Momentum Is Building for Medicare for All

A great piece by Green Party Deputy Leader @rachelmillward.bsky.social

Migration and asylum are not modern anomalies. They are as old as humanity itself. Yet we have allowed our politics to strip them of their humanity, turning people into numbers, threats, slogans.

Trump is directing his administration to begin de-naturalizing around 100-200 people per month, on top of current immigration efforts to end visas, deport illegals, and deny visa applications.

The U.S. has more civilian owned guns than any other country in the world.

It also has the largest number of mass shootings by several orders of magnitude.

The argument that owning more guns will magically stop mass shootings, is a deeply flawed argument and a lie.

The End.

Goodbye and good riddance to the Robert E. Lee statue. Welcome to the new statute of civil rights icon Barbara Rose Johns, now proudly and honorably representing the Commonwealth of Virginia in the U.S. Capitol building.
Happy to announce that Virginia has a new statue in the Capitol. Barbara Johns spoke out and fought for justice, and is a great example of a true Virginian. Her proud family joined us for the unveiling.

The vast majority of people in the Congress do not vote their conscience. They do not vote for their constituents. They vote according to their corporate & foreign sponsors. These political parties and elections can’t do anything to save us from tyranny. Sooner we dump them both, the better.
