I've known many, many people who were "the best human they could be," and were still held down by an economic system that was rigged against them. We should NOT misuse inspirational principles to justify injustice.

It seems so clear to me that a nation thrives when the majority of its people thrive. It's the essence of a democratic as opposed to an aristocratic worldview.

Biden has expressed hesitancy with his ability to broadly cancel student debt via executive order. He asked the Department of Education in February to prepare a memo on his legal authority to act on the issue. businessinsider.com/student-…

Red Alert for our democracy.
SCOOP w/ @RyanLittleE: Georgia voters 45 times more likely to have mail ballot applications rejected & not vote in Nov 2021 vs 2020 after GOP passed new voting restrictions That rate would've led to 38,000 fewer votes in 2020, 3x Biden's margin of victory motherjones.com/politics/202…

Lord, what a scam. #MedicareForAll
Take a closer look at UnitedHealth's 2021 earnings report and you'll discover that 72% of their health plan division's revenue ($222.9 BILLION) came from taxpayers through Medicare Advantage, Medicare supplemental plans and state Medicaid programs. wendellpotter.substack.com/p…

We miscommunicated. I totally agree with your point about World War II.

The joke about your rant is that I agree with you - except about me being an imbecile and a complete moron :) (you spelled imbecile and imperatives wrong, by the way)

I said no to my being a child during WW2! I was born in 1952.

Vigilant ignorance is a dangerous thing.
The history of the Holocaust includes the banning of books. Maus is a work of art that has helped generations understand Nazi brutality and how they dictated what people could think, read and say. When you become fearful of ideas you forfeit your freedom. nytimes.com/2022/01/27/us/ma…

I cannot be responsible for headlines about me, many of which were lies I can tell you. I made it clear at the time that I was supporting an effort to help him stay in the race through Iowa. The only endorsement I gave was to Bernie Sanders.

It’s true that I came to believe Med4All was the only path to universal health care. You’re incorrect however about Bernie; I was clear about that at the time. Your mischaracterization does not change who I am or what I’ve done.

Important day to watch this.
On this day 77 years ago, Allied forces liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must recommit to fighting all forms of bigotry, intolerance, antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia.
