“Free healthcare” is such a uniquely American evil phrase.
The U.S. is the ONLY nation in what white people call “the developed world,” that does NOT provide healthcare to their residents.
Republicans have stood in the way of correcting this wrong for decades. All b/c white men wanted more money.
This is such a weird thing to troll about.

GOP Rep. Mike Flood at a town hall: "Do you think that people who are 28-years-old, that can work, & refuse to work, should get free healthcare?"
Crowd: "YESSSSSSSSSS!"
Say this directly to a Philadelphian’s face and let me know what happens.

This sign by Emeyewhisky isn’t just art—it’s survival. Resistance written in spray paint.
People arent making the connection that this arrogant behavior by white executives isnt isolated to fringe eccentrics
This EXACT scenario has already played out dozens of times with Boeing. Hundreds of people have died because Boeing executives want money instead of safety. No one held accountable
I just remember we KEPT finding footage from new angles for literally days after the Montgomery Riverfront Brawl itself. God bless ✊🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🪑✨🇺🇸

Black Panther portals emerge and release warriors who then beat a bunch of racist ass. It was glorious!
