Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Big corporate American hospitals now want you to pay up front for surgery UnitedHealth, a giant health insurance company, has been buying up hospitals and surgery centers. Now it's requiring patients to pay to play.

The U.S. healthcare system is most profitable when it’s killing and denying care to the most amount of people.

Unfortunately for us, we measure the success of the healthcare industry in dollars made, not lives saved.

Pass universal healthcare with Medicare for All.

A group of peaceful protesters gathered on the University of Texas campus are attacked by state troopers in riot gear. On the left side of the image, a blue arrow points to a credentialed member of the press. Only his backpack is visible. Behind him, a trooper grabs his backpack and starts to yank him to the ground. An orange arrow points to the officer’s hands on the cameraman’s backpack

A group of peaceful protesters gathered on the University of Texas campus are attacked by state troopers in riot gear. On the left side of the image, a blue arrow points to a credentialed member of the press. He is wearing a navy shirt and has a bald head. He’s pointing his camera toward the crowd, away from the vantage point of this image. Behind him, a trooper grabs his backpack and continues to yank him to the ground. An orange arrow points to the officer’s elbow, showing how sharply and suddenly he attacked the cameraman

A group of peaceful protesters gathered on the University of Texas campus are attacked by state troopers in riot gear. On the right side of the image, a blue arrow points to a credentialed member of the press who is now on the ground, being tackled by two state troopers. Only his backpack is visible. An orange arrow points to the trooper who started the altercation and has now wrestled the cameraman to the ground

A credentialed member of the press is handcuffed and led away by a state trooper. The cameraman is on the left side of the image, wearing a navy shirt with blue jeans and his credentials are visible around his neck. The state trooper is on the right side of the photo. He’s wearing riot gear and has a smug look on his face like he’s proud of being Greg Abbott’s Brownshirt

Just Texas Department of Public Safety troopers attacking credentialed members of the press without any provocation.

The cameraman works for our local Fox affiliate here in Austin

Looking to the SciFi/Fantasy night tomorrow at Artisans Books & Coffee
