RFKJ: Americans prefer private insurance. This is BS. Americans prefer to have insurance over not having insurance. They want cheaper, better care. Many right wing pollsters have asked biased questions to make it sound that people prefer private insurance.

The mere existence of America’s Mega-Church industry is testament to the country’s collective gullibility. A population that enjoys being exploited for the gain of others, whilst yelling “Freedom” Carries over into political naiveté. #randomthought

Earlier today, watched footage of a woman in the US being taken away by masked men from ICE. Her daughter crying piteously for her mother,neighbours trying to stop it. I cried. Haven't stopped thinking all day of the sheer cruelty of it...if that was me, my daughter? The US has lost its way.

Less than two weeks after Pope Francis's passing, the man who is the poster child for the Seven Deadly Sins posted a picture of himself depicting him as the Pope. This is not only offensive to millions of Catholics but is a stark insight into the mind of a deeply disturbed individual. Appalling.

Incredible that the LNP spokesman on The ABC election coverage is irate at Teals. Supposedly for “being funded” against them. They are completely blind (or intransigent) to the effect of their climate stance. Regressing to whinging. #auspol They have learned nothing.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.
Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

Here is the situation if I’m understanding it correctly: 1. They are deporting lawful immigrants erroneously to prisons overseas 2. They are claiming no recourse to return these individuals 3. They say they are open to deporting citizens in the same way

Find a cool product on Amazon?
That company exists OFF Amazon, too.
1) Google company name.
2) Order from their site.
2a) Can usually find a 10% code!
3) Still get product in 2-8 days.
4) Company avoids losing 25% margin share to Amazon.
5) You avoid giving money to Bezos.
