Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each. Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture. (Published May 2025)

El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"

Certain that the late 1980's overly critical literary attack on the writing, & works of Ernest Hemingway was a co-ordinated attack, financed by the wealthy Rightwing — motivated by Fascist political opposition, to the slightly Left of Center themes Ernest Hemingway wrote about ie.

The fact that the same Taylor Farms products sold at Walmart are packaged under different names and sold at Whole Foods proves that Jeff Bezos is scamming you into thinking you get superior produce a his far more pricey Whole Foods.

1/ A former FCC chairman said it himself: Brendan Carr found a technique so quiet it can never be appealed in court. He has used it on a broadcaster, a movie studio, and a satellite company. Each one folded within days. Don Corleone would be proud. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Morning Joe going after the DSA because of a Hamas rally after Oct 7th. Where is the same outrage with pro-Israel rallies any day of the year. Pick a date. Some settlers killed a Palestinian, razed their home, and stole their land. I hate both of you but I hate Billionaire bought media more. GFYs.

Trump is running the economy just like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground.

Remember: cynicism is a trap. The billionaire class and their GOP lackeys want us to fall into hopelessness so they can have it all without any resistance. It costs them nothing and costs us everything. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

I simply cannot understand how anyone can listen to Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed speak and think they sound scary or bad. The very same people who've been screaming "We NEED fighters in the democratic party!" are exactly the people now screaming, "Yeah, but not THOSE fighters!" 🤬

Donald Trump telling people not to “feel sorry” for a sick Joe Biden because he’s “vicious” isn't strength—it's pure cruelty. Nothing says "Christian values" quite like Donald Trump mocking an ill man and demanding an end to basic empathy. Absolute trash behavior from a small, weak man.

Union carpenter refuses to build data centers: "No paycheck is worth compromising my morals." 👏👏👏👏 Just say no to data center jobs

The biggest problem with Trump is that when the facts contradict him, he doesn’t change his story. He demands that the people around him change the facts. : Americans Against Fascism

The VA electronic health records system is down. That’s comforting. Trump sucks. (This never happened in the 11 years I worked there)

Can we Make Sure we don’t Eat Anything from Taylor Farms until a Legitimate FDA is in Place? Seems Fair to me.

A president who refuses to send aid to states that didn’t vote for him, is a literally enemy of the state and the nation.

Third Way — which has declared "war" on progressives — is a Trojan Horse for corporate America. Their funding sources are a Star Wars cantina of billionaire megadonors, Fortune 500 CEOs, giant corporations, and corporate dark money bundlers.

The Moronic Bullshit of the "Third Way"

There's no "middle" between neofascist corporatism and democracy
