Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Big Pharma Can Tweak Drugs to Keep Generics Off the Market Taking advantage of a broken patent system, Big Pharma is making minor tweaks to medications just to keep affordable generics off the market, a new report suggests. They’ve made billions of dollars in...

Big Pharma jacked up prices on 575 drugs in the first two fucking days of 2025 — then spent $227 million lobbying the government to protect their profits. While Americans skip doses and go broke, they’re buying silence in Washington.

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

We all know the goal was always to “own the libs.” And in chasing that, too many have given up their own freedoms just to claim a hollow “win.” What they don’t see is that the monster they fed never stops, it eventually comes for us all. And now their silence is deafening.

"If the narcs think I'm gonna stop baking brownies for my kids with AIDS, they can go f--k themselves."
As the AIDS epidemic ravaged San Francisco in the 80s, Mary Jane Rathbun delivered her "magical" brownies, baked with marijuana, to hundreds of patients in order to ease their symptoms. ♥️

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

“Oh, I may not know a lot of things, but one thing I can state:
Both native-born and foreign-born have made our country great”

No wonder our country failed so miserably the next 75 yrs—we were too woke

Apparently, she doesn’t understand how social media works. One can choose or not choose and even resign from an existing account if they choose. What is she, a commie?!

If there was one thing I could change about 2025 it’s accountability. That’s it. We have the laws. We have the regulations. But we refuse to follow through and demand consequences and accountability. This goes from dangerous drivers to January 6th, from climate change polluters to Brexit.

I will say it again.
