The United States has not done so because we have not yet had a president who would do it. I would.

Denying people water in times of extreme heat can literally endanger their lives. For farmworkers to construction workers, whether it’s big industry or state government that’s behaving that way, we should have zero tolerance for such murderous neglect of a human need.
After no water for nearly 9 hours on the Capitol steps, I’m more confident than ever that we can make positive change in this country for working people — including winning the right to basic water breaks. Workers everywhere are counting on a federal heat rule. #WorkersCantWait

Humanity’s desecration of the earth is a moral crime. We are not just destroying our own habitat, we are murdering other species as well. Our obeisance to the soulless, willfully destructive dictates of Big Oil is the behavior of a death cult. Acquiescence to its tyranny is a sign of a government that has sold out, and a people who have forgotten in whose hands the power is supposed to lie. The only good news is that a critical mass of people realize this now. The question is no longer how to wake people up. The question is what we will do now that we’ve awoken, especially given how much our leaders have prostituted themselves to the demands of Big Oil. The first step is to vote those leaders out. #Marianne2024

There is no liberty more important than our liberty to criticize the government. Threatening to fire a professor for speaking out about public policy is outrageous .
A Texas A&M prof criticizes Texas’s opioid policy during a guest lecture. A student complains to her mom (former state senator), who complains to Lt. Gov. The prof gets suspended and censured while the chancellor assured the Lt. Gov. she’ll be fired. texastribune.org/2023/07/25/…

Universal single-payer healthcare is the only answer.
I can’t overstate the significance of this. Medicare Advantage costs taxpayers more, not less, than original Medicare and is harming so many people

The Supreme Court of the United States has become a rogue institution. It poses as the protector of our rights while systematically diminishing them. #Marianne2024
