Avoid Medicare Advantage plans. They kill people. They restrict access to care and have death panels.

Wow! Makes me proud of my home state. We remember the fighting on our ground. We see the bullet holes in the walls. We memorialize the fight against tyranny and oligarchy.

Dallas turned out with at least 10,000 marching for #NoKingsDay

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

update: my 72 year old parents went to a motherfucking protest today. they went to #NoKings in Fort Myers. My dad said there were 3-5,000 people there, which is INSANE for bright red Lee County, Florida. But my parents. They went to a protest! My dad has never protested anything but inconvenience.

Chicago #NoKings

I have never heard of any protests in San Diego in my 65 years. They have never struck me as politically aware outside lowering taxes.
