We let Millions of Americans die to fund tax breaks for Billionaires? 880 Billion is the whole Medicaid budget People will die

Thanks @mapquest.com

👏🏽👏🏽 for the Senate Dems who rejected grossly unqualified Tulsi Gabbard earlier today and now starting the process of holding the Senate floor for 30 hours to forestall (also grossly unqualified) RFK jr.

Mythologizing the virtues of business leaders and the erroneous idea that capitalism is an engine of societal advancement promoting merit and creativity, elevating us all, is no different from any of the other lies promoted by the powerful to enslave and pacify those they are exploiting.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States

Good suggestions for all including general talking points prepared by Indivisible.
