MEDICARE FOR ALL!
Astronomical health care costs and lack of access drive individuals, families and businesses past their breaking point, while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars, as millions of children's basic needs go unmet.

After about two decades of using #chrome, with everything set up just the way I prefer for internet browsing, they disabled adblock, and now chrome is useless to me. I've transferred my entire browsing to #Firefox today, copying over every setting, extension, and save.
Goodbye Chrome

At least we know where "bros" that are easy to scam will be. I wonder what we could try and sell them.
Yeah. Having a printed local paper at the checkout stand makes a difference than just online/radio where you have to go looking for your news, and who's choosing the headlines matters.
