Allies in Bflo protesting ICE for a decade. And? The billionaire renting to ICE owns the Boston Bruins. 60% of the team are foreign nationals. Over 70% of the players in the NHL are foreign born. How can this be? Oh, they are all white foreigners? Maybe some fans want to ask the Bruins about it?

Three states, well a few white men in power in three states are not satisfied with the harm they have done to their citizens, so seek to harm healthcare providers in other states. Certainly at least three SCOTUS folx are down on this cruelty. We the people hold the power. Help us wield it.

Our international sistxrs have the same bodily freedom demands that we do. We are in solidarity with them. Soon they will have more rights than folx do in 13 US states. Odd that we can have different human rights in different states. Well, cruel and hateful, actually.

A potential earthquake. US insurance companies get to siphon-off health care dollars for their investors rather than it be spent on healthcare. These investors literally loot companies with debt, & walk away with the profits while the companies go out of business. Glad someone wants to stop them.
