Health insurance CEOs made a combined $350 million last year. That money came from your premiums. Your denials. Your deductibles. They are getting rich off of your suffering. Tax them. Cover everyone.

A friendly reminder that the people who: •banned Black people from reparations, schools, military, GI bill, & FHA loans •who lynched & are now locking Latinos into putrid concentration camps •who locked Japanese people into camps & banned all Asian immigration •who broke every single treaty with Native Americans while committing genocide •And who are now gutting laws that helped counter that harm & passing laws to ban teaching that history... They want you to stop making everything about race.😐

"If you're Jewish or non-Jewish, please, let the world know: Jews all over the world are not responsible for the actions of the Zionist State of Israel! Israel doesn't represent the Jewish people!" -Rabbi Yakoov Shapiro in Jerusalem.

Thousands of protesters in Israel are filling the streets in protest of Benjamin Netanyahu. They are demanding the immediate resignation of Benjamin Netanyahu and a new investigation into the October 7 terrorist attacks. Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t even liked in Israel.

I do not understand how anyone can fail to see and feel the deep honour in being welcomed to country, especially by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are by any measure showing extraordinary grace in doing so.

Cuba has a healthcare system so advanced that American patients have traveled there to access treatments they couldn't get or afford at home. Our government's illegal embargo blocks that access. So Americans keep paying more, getting less, and going bankrupt while Washington makes sure they can't look elsewhere. End the embargo. Pass Medicare for All.

Here’s a plan to fully fund the NDIS, cancel AUKUS! That will free up $100 billion over the next decade to give people with disability the support they need.

ICE is taking girls to hotels so they can rape them. We are not angry enough.

The economy isn't broken by accident. ▶️ Corporations post record profits while workers can't afford groceries ▶️ Billionaires pay lower tax rates than teachers and truck drivers ▶️ CEOs get bonuses while thousands get laid off Every single one of those? A policy choice. Made by the powerful, for the powerful. We choose differently. Wealth tax. Living wages. An economy that works for working people. We're not stopping.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue. She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March. She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.

If you live in a country that sends poor people to jail for using drugs, but doesn't send rich people to jail for raping kids, you live in a shit hole country.

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.

Call me radical, but I don’t think we should be throwing millions of Americans off health care while we bail out a ruthless dictator whose family is worth $300 billion.

Time for a #kitten photo, I think. She is already adopted, sorry!

Elon Musk's net worth: $805 billion. That's more than the bottom 53% of Americans combined. His effective tax rate: 3.3%. A truck driver pays 8.4%. Tax the rich.

Ms. Rachel on the ICE Dilley detention center: “It’s heartbreaking talking to the kids and their families. They’re talking about water they can’t even drink that makes them sick. There’s been worms in the food. The food’s rotten sometimes. What really frightens me is the dangerous, inadequate medical care. These are basic human rights for children and we can all agree not to harm and abuse children. I’m kind of in shock about what I’m hearing and I don’t think people really know what’s going on inside of Dilley”

BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran. Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers. They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one. Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda. 53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it. The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one. Never stop connecting the dots.

According to a recent poll, 77% of voters support raising taxes on billionaires. Maybe, just maybe, at a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality, it’s time for Congress to listen to the American people and pass a wealth tax on billionaires.

Graham Platner: “In 1990 there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. Do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier than 1990? Have our wages gone up 10x? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No, we have less. The money went somewhere and it wasn’t down here. it was stolen from us in a rigged system”
