If the US government had to pay for medical care of its citizens, it might care more about climate change impacts, air and water pollution, gun violence, traffic crashes, the food we eat, etc. It’s past time for single payer healthcare.

Can't stop thinking about the farmworker families in Monterey County found living in greenhouses—100 people, including toddlers, crammed into makeshift shelter without ventilation.
And now, many of those same children live with the fear that their parents will be picked up and disappeared by ICE.

The VA’s unilateral termination of union contracts for ~360k workers represents a loss of 2.5% OF ALL UNION MEMBERS IN AMERICA.
I’m not sure what it will take for the labor movement to get into crisis mode, but the crisis is here.

You are wealthy beyond belief, living with assets that Kings would never have dreamed possible. You can fly to your house in the Italian countryside, or be taken to a 5 star restaurant with amazing things to be offered.
And your concern is being able to say derogatory slurs without consequence.
