In our daily grind, swimming in the moments between distractions of engineered outrages, are moments in which we can meditate on humanity's brilliance. I hope the #art which fills these moments for me might trigger them for you. Also End Citizens United.

Voters are fed up with gimmicks and out-of-touch leadership in the Senate - and Mallory McMorrow gets it. Our democracy is under threat, and this moment demands urgency and courage to save it. That’s why Mallory is stepping up. 1/ apnews.com/article/mall...

Imagine a country that values #billionaires and the #oligarchy more than the #education and #health of children… Fuck, even #russia and #china invest more in their kids. #america doesn’t give a fuck about #americans.

Just a reminder #america and all #americans are where we are because of these two, dork to ghoul, mother fuckers... #thiel #CurtisYarvin. Their sexual insecurity and their inflated belief in their own intellect are driving the end of the American Experiment and #democracy across the world.

Perhaps #medicalcare is so expensive because investors and administrators exploit Patients and Providers ... 391:1 pay difference between #HCA #CEO and those providing the life-saving/changing #healthcare. This is not the answer, #america

Seems like a pretty big fucking deal. #ukraine #russia Evidently, #maga you are okay with #humatrafficking

This perfectly sums up what/who #maga and #elon and #trump are and what they have planned for us. They intend to make sure we are isolated, subservient, uneducated, and exploited by them. This is #america.

Every #american has benefited from #publiceducation - even if you went to private school. "An ignorant people cannot form a wise government." -Whitman The ramifications of the #maga / #repubclican war on #education will be felt for generations around the world.

It starts.

With #medicaid cuts looming, it is worth noting 748 hospitals are already at risk of closure in #america, including over half of hospitals in #alabama, #arkansas, #kansas, #mississippi, #Oklahoma, and #texas. #healthcare. Why? Private #insurance - the same that leaves #americans #broke #bankrupt

#HCA for profit #healthcare #corporation, reached all-time highs (by cutting costs - like nursing staff and performing money-making surgeries - back surgeries) #ceo Sam Hazen made $23,799,137. Revenues were $70.6 billion, with income of $8.5 billion. While we go broke from medical bills.

Make no mistake. What we saw today was the end of #america as it has been. Our little experiment is over. What comes out of this remains to be seen, and it may very well be something better. But, we no longer stand as a world leader or source for hope and change as of today.

#Uber is actively trying to limit #american #constitutional rights for those hurt by its drivers. It has quietly poured millions of dollars into limiting #americans rights to hold those responsible for their injuries, as guaranteed by the #7thAmendement, in court. www.legaldive.com/news/uber-tu....

It's all a move to privatize #america. The problem is support for people cant be privatized, and the privatization isn't merit-based. For instance, curing cancer through research is a bad investment. So, privatized researchers won't seek a cure; they'll seek treatment. www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/g...
