I am just a big ball of mushed mess. I have been crying for 2 days straight. Between the muderversaries of Uvalde and George Floyd and being reminded of the callousness and cruelty, the dismissive attitudes of far too many. I also remember those killed in Buffalo 2 years ago this

โ€œRFK Jr. Is Even Crazier Than You Might Thinkโ€

Not only that, but has it occurred to folks that RFK Jrโ€™s decision to run for President was a money move?

Heโ€™s made a lot of money pushing baseless conspiracy theories about vaccines and spreading

We are truly living at the intersection of the darkest times and the dumbest times.

Conspiracy theories and right wing agendas in healthcare are going to continue to get women killed.

$1.2B spent on lobbying in Q1 โ€”

to block climate action
block universal healthcare
keep wages low
keep drug costs high
keep billionaire's taxes low
protect union busters
sell more weapons

If a politician says a necessary policy is 'radical,' it's because they're paid to say it.

NBC News is owned by Comcast, which spent over $787,500 since Jan 6th, 2021 to re-elect seditionists to Congress.

Imagine if fascists didnโ€™t have the financial and institutional support of major corporations who see fascism as a means to profits.

Sure seems like this whole selling our politicians off to the highest bidder thing isn't working our for us. And we can't just blame them. Our current system demands that they spend most of their time raising money just to keep their jobs.

Weird... I keep hearing that progressive policies are 'radical' and 'politically unpopular' but keep seeing that the majority of Americans support them.

Just remember that the Congressional 'center' isn't the moral or American center.

Most news sites are paywalled.
Cable news networks are part of paid subscriptions.
The only access to news for many people are social media networks and local news programs, most of which are owned and operated by right-wing billionaires.

People have limited access to news.
