Since this article was published in 2018, billionaires have increased their wealth by $7 trillion, and an estimated 254,000 people in the U.S. have died because they couldn’t access or afford healthcare.

So proud of my hometown. Images of humanity

Simple, yet profound!

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to kill the Veterans Administration

So they can force veterans into private for-profit hospitals like HCA

And private for-profit insurance like United Health

THEY ARE LOOTING AMERICA — and giving it away to OLIGARCHS

Happiest new year to you all “A great human revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of a nation and, further, can even enable a change in the destiny of all humankind” from Buddhist philosopher, peacebuilder, educator, author and poet Daisaku Ikeda(1928-2023)

Truth
