I’m no great fan of the ACA. I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system. But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

Idiocy. The federal government won’t do its job, and now it’s forbidding states from caring for their own citizens when the federal government refuses to do so.

WHY THE FUCK ARE REPUBLICAN DUMB-ASSES ARGUING OVER JUST HOW MUCH NAZISM IS AN ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF NAZISM WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY? SPOILER ALERT: IT'S BECAUSE REPUBLICANS FUCKING SUCK, THAT'S WHY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4otbkDN
listen up, Republicans: the correct answer to ‘how much Nazi is the right amount of Nazi’ is, of course, ZERO NAZI.

Nazism is repugnant, and everything Nazis stood for should be rejected. I can’t believe I even have to explain this to you shitwits. we fought a whole fucking war about this, remember?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Wildfires in Colorado have cost taxpayers over $40 million this year alone. This is yet another reminder that Coloradans save $6 for every $1 spent on wildfire prevention. It is critical that we prioritize investments in wildfire prevention — to save taxpayer dollars and to save lives.

"Welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn't leave." Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was then
forced to strip, issued prison clothing, and subjected to physical abuse including being kicked in
the legs with boots and struck on his head and arms to make him change clothes faster. His head
was shaved with a zero razor, and he was frog-marched to cell 15, being struck with wooden batons
