"Medicare for All is the answer."
Championed by Graham Platner, Medicare for All Increasingly Popular in Maine and Nationwide
In Maine, only one of the top Democratic US Senate candidates supports Medicare for All, despite majority support from Mainers and Americans. Healthcare crisis looms as GOP blocks ACA subsidies. Mainers demand change. Will leaders listen and fight for universal healthcare? #MedicareForAll #HealthcareCrisis

A Somali-American woman in Minnesota straps her U.S. passport to her head as she goes about her daily routine, seeking immediate proof of her citizenship. This act stems from the heightened enforcement by ICE and the growing concerns about racial profiling.

Gun owners claim then need guns to protect their rights. As I wrote in my book many years ago-
"We live in a country where there is no constitutional right to food, shelter, clothing, education or transportation. The only right that the 2nd Amendment protects is itself."

Shut the cunt down folks, I hope every single person who lives in Alberta and is against Danielle Smith is signing any and all recall petitions against her and her MPs to bring this malicious government down
The Breakdown - #cdnpoli
Smith finally said it out loud...
She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini
Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, it is worth recalling that during the decade that Clinton’s federal assault weapons ban was in force, mass-shooting deaths fell by around 43%. After the ban expired in 2004, mass-shooting fatalities rose by 239% in the following decade
