We have criminals running our government, hiring more criminals to commit crimes against the populace.

Interesting. I'm not a communist. I just don't believe in megamillionaires or corporations voting by buying politicians. Most executives can't justify their salaries, and too many have never really worked. Healthcare, hunger and homelessness, racism and sexism are policy choices & systemic problems.

Bill, this is because of the machinations by an utterly corrupt Republican party giving voice to the insane libertarians and theocratic oligarchs of American xtianity. This is the result of permitting billionaires to exist and defunding education. This is the only conclusion of Reagan's bullshit.

A not-β€˜toned down’ Trump regime prepares for ethnic cleansing in Ohio A plan for immigration raids this week on thousands of Haitians in Springfield, Ohio shows that nothing has changed.

Trump's immigration human-rights nightmare isn't pulling back. It's about to get much worse

A planned op this week in Springfield, Ohio targeting hard-working Haitians who came here the right way is nothing less than an ethnic cleansing on U.S. soil

Opinion | Liam Ramos Was Just One of Hundreds of Children at This Detention Center. Release Them All.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world."

Hoping this adds to the malcontent with the GOP. Folks need to keep waking up. Republicans can't fix anything because they can't govern

The money we waste on "healthcare" middlemen is larger than the economies of many countries. Single payer NOW, no more stock-selling health insurance companies, no more private equity.
