No, I don't think violently killing CEOs is the answer. I do think it's outrageous & disgusting that 70,000 Americans die preventable deaths annually because health insurance mega corps prioritize profits over healthcare & we don't acknowledge that as violent. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
While making tens of billions in profit, UnitedHealth fired its intake team & enacted faulty AI tech to process claims. It rejected more than 90% of claims for senior citizens, resulting in several deaths b/c elders didn't get the critical meds they needed. Just thought I'd share for no reason.
If you want to understand how systemic white supremacy works consider that 0 cops went to prison for killing Fred Hampton in an illegal raid 55 years ago today but Leonard Peltier still languishes in prison 47 years after defending himself from 2 cops conducting an illegal raid. The system isn't broken. It was built this way. Because a system of white supremacy cannot fail those it was never meant to protect. And a system of white supremacy will always protect those it was never meant to fail.
MAGA: We're cutting Govt waste! So—cut bloated Defense budget? MAGA: NO Stop funding Pentagon until it can pass an audit? MAGA: NO Adopt universal healthcare which costs 50% of private insurance? MAGA: NO Then how? MAGA: Cut food stamps, housing, SS, & Medicare & give billionaires more money
I just realized there were exactly 1400 days between Jan 6, 2021 & Nov 5, 2024 1400 days & Merrick Garland couldn't be bothered to show up for even 1 day to do his job & ensure no American is above the law. 1400 days of apathy. 1400 days of cowardice. 1400 days—& now an insurrectionist is POTUS.

If media actually wanted to hold Biden accountable they'd report on him & Blinken ignoring two damning State Dept reports that Netanyahu is committing war crimes against millions of Palestinians & should not be sent any more weapons. Instead they're making a mountain out of the Hunter pardon that hurt literally no one.😑 Legacy media continues to fail the American people and the world.
AlJazeera: IDF deployed Quadcopters in Gaza that emit sounds of babies & of screaming women to lure Palestinians out of their homes & shoot them. CNN: Since the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire started IDF has broken ceasefire 100 times Imagine still claiming this is "self-defense" and not intentional genocide
Imagine having the awesome power of the presidency with now SCOTUS immunity at your disposal, allowing you to commute 40 death sentences, cancel student debt for 40M Americans, protect abortion access for a few more months, free Leonard Peltier, normalize relations with Cuba, strengthen DACA, and protect all those you know Trump is going to target with prosecution—and all you do is protect your son & continue to arm Netanyahu to commit genocide—and MAGAs still condemn you as corrupt. smh
My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there. While Trump pardons war criminals, Biden should commute the death penalty for the 40 Americans on federal death row, cancel all student debt via EO & force Trump to revive them, & protect abortion nationwide via EO. Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism! Fight!
