They’re dismantling the ACA and sending bribes to people for votes. Because of the dismantling, prices of healthcare will go up far more than the one-time bribe. IG: @ mrglobaltoo www.instagram.com/mrglobaltoo?...

Hegseth is clueless. He knows nothing about military strategy, consequences, etc. He sounds like a 10 year old kid who wants to play army. Eisenhower warned us about this kind of thing and the dangers of the military industrial complex.

It's really crucial to remember that a "gas tax holiday" means starving states of revenue. That means fewer resources for public needs. Who do you think wins in a fight between funding for preschools and highways?

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Why is the Republican answer always to accept less?

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

This tells us that they are guilty, protecting the guilty or both. It also shows they don't know what to do, they are still afraid of trump and they don't care about the real issues.

FB has maliciously banned 1000's of people because they "contravened Community Standards". They helped FB make BILLIONS in advertising, based on user numbers. Users are banned for using FREE SPEECH fighting for their political rights + much more. If banned, would you join a Class Action against FB?

We The People must #RiseUpAndResist 💪 We need to elect veto-proof Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress in the upcoming midterms as a critical guardrail against the orange DICK-tator and his regime. We will NOT allow the Nazi-regime history to be repeated here in OUR Nation.
In 1934, Germany passed a law making it a crime to tell jokes or laugh at its leaders.

We can't go down that road. Because what's next is you can't post what you want on social media. And you can't text your friends anything that might upset the government.

That's not the way it should be. The People shouldn't be afraid of their government. The government should be afraid of the people!
