remember also that israel has universal healthcare while the US still denies millions of americans healthcare. tens of millions have lost their health coverage during the pandemic, because - for whatever reason - health insurance is tied to your job in your country
look at the wealth of your representatives, these are the people who decided what to put in that stimulus bill
yes, there's also money for the wall in that "relief" bill. just incredible
important addition to the part about israel: while israel has medicare for all, they make sure to deny healthcare to palestinians juancole.com/2019/07/israel…
palestinians have been hurting the most during this pandemic in israel. the WHO has condemned israel for their health violations against palestinians. don't think they're gonna see much of those $500 million. they won't even receive the vaccine until later apnews.com/article/pandem…
i should mention that all of this is part of the second stimulus package (2nd CARES act so to speak) the "relief bill" belongs to that google.ch/amp/s/financia…
a huge chunk went also to these countries:
$453,000,000 for Ukraine, $130,265,000 for Nepal, $700,000,000 for Sudan
sry for the confusion: these "foreign aid" amts aren't part of the $900 billion stimulus bill which itself was tied to the omnibus bill, together forming the $2.3 trillion spending package
ofc you may not care abt that, bc it still shows that the money is there, just not for you
this "lifelong democrat" has been vote shaming leftists for not wanting to vote/withhold their vote for biden, ridiculed the idea to push ppl in power for M4a, and is now defending ben dixon smearing julian assange. how do people like this get to be members of DSA?
i see ben dixon likes to smear people instead of listening to their arguments. did you know he also led a smear campaign against julian assange 3 years ago?
here is an article by @caitoz addressing all smears against julian assange. bookmark it bc you'll come across "leftists" who like to attack assange more often than not unfortunately rcreader.com/commentary/deb…
smearing is one of the oldest tricks in the book. pls read this part where @caitoz explains why smearing is so effective. always be aware of this to not fall for it. whether it's assange or jimmy dore, smear artists know what they're doing
obama saying to trevor noah that it's hard to be ethical because you inherit wars and he can't revert the decision to go into iraq. dude you took the US from 2 wars to 7, wtf are you talking about
but he talks so smoothly and he's so charming, so it's all okay😍🌊
300'000 US americans are dead, over 14 million people have lost their health coverage, and people are still debating whether you should use this opportunity to fight for universal healthcare or not. i am sorry, but the "left" in the US is embarrassing
i understand that the left in the US faces a more authoritarian, capitalist surveillance state than other places, being the number one imperial country in the world necessitates crushing its working class organizations & funding its giant military leaves less for social programs.
