Healthcare is a basic human right.

The US is one of the only countries in the developed world not to guarantee healthcare to all.

The budget they just gave to ICE could easily cover universal healthcare.

They would rather fund a militia than provide food, medicine and vaccines.

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her eyes in shame was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw. It is in a high population area of immigrants in France…!!!
She said β€˜The values that the statue once stood for - freedom hope, the right to be yourself - have been lost for many’…!!!

You can thank Donald Trump and Republicans for your higher grocery bills.

You can thank Donald Trump and Republicans for your higher medical bills.

You can thank Donald Trump and Republicans for your higher utility bills.

That’s their "Big Beautiful Bill" in action.

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that men who look like they were created in the bowels of Mordor have the MOST to say about women’s looks.

Donald Trump just signed a bill into law that'll kick 17 million people off their health care and make it harder for families to put food on the table.

Republicans sold you out so billionaires can get even richer.

We won't let them forget.

Jesus in Christian minds: β€œhere’s this money that you’ve earned because you’re so much better than your neighbors”

Jesus in the Christian texts: β€œgive away your money.”

Dissent is patriotic.

We have a right to disagree and dissent with those in power and demand a better world.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

πŸ“Œ A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : β€œAre we reading the same Book? The Book I know says β€˜I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Mr. Fetterman, it's really this simple: you're receiving $174,000 a year for a position to which you were elected after asking people to trust that you'd be an unwavering champion for working class families.

I don't give a fuck that you missed your beach trip. Stop whining and get back to work.

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

There is no greater indication of how awful and prevalent misogyny is than how poorly women’s reproductive health is funded and handled. Plastic surgery though, we’ve made leaps and bounds of growth.
