On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

US truckers will begin a general strike on October 1, 2026. This is due to fuel prices being higher than the wages they are making, and relaxing of safety standards. There will be nothing moving by truck in the US. No groceries, no packages, no fuel. Share this so people are forewarned. Stock up.

As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

Hakeem Jeffries is a terrible leader. For me, that has nothing to do with his funding. He’s shown little to no courage or leadership qualities since given the position, and I’m not a fan of anyone who would rather work with the right than with progressives.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
