I wrote about my never-ending battles with health insurance companies, and how they are objectively worse than the chronic condition I suffer from. This is my healthcare story, and it shows why the US should move towards Medicare For All.

Yesterday a guy in a Blue Lives Matter hat crossed our picket line. When told, "the store's closed." He responded, "I don't care I'm law enforcement." He then pulled on a locked door and slipped on ice. I can't prove it but I like to think he pooped his pants a bit when he fell

This is the most racist depiction of Arabs I've seen on modern television. A group of Arabs "is planning the next intifada", but that doesn't stop Larry David from sexualizing the woman. Then he calls her an antisemite. Absolutely unhinged.
