Banksyโs latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?
The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.

Itโs time for these victims receive justice. Itโs time for Trump to stop protecting the rich & powerful & to start telling the truth. Itโs also time for Republicans in Congress to find the courage to sign the discharge petition that would force a vote to release the Epstein files. (2/2)
