Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Imagine you’re offering a raccoon a Dorito and he responds like this?

When birds saw humans give an injured bird special treatment.😅

In Germany, France, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland, public colleges are tuition free or virtually tuition free.

Their governments understand the value of investing in their young people. So should we.

It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.

The U.S. is on track to have the worst whooping cough outbreak since 1948. Some regions are reporting that they are struggling to do contact tracing of cases because they are ALSO managing measles investigations.
