In BBC coverage, mentions of Israeli and Palestinians deaths competed for space since 7th October. That’s despite far more Palestinian deaths. There’s one exception – a huge spike in the mentions of Palestinian deaths in early April. The reason for this should disturb you.

Last year the health insurance industry reported $70.7 billion in profits, while 41% of Americans are stuck with medical debt. Your medical debt is just a health insurance CEO’s profit. Pass Medicare for All.

Last year, the 7 largest private health insurers collected $1.39 trillion in profit.

It is absurd that Big Insurance is raking in trillions while Americans are pinching pennies to afford treatment.
