UnitedHealth, employer of slain exec Brian Thompson, found to have overcharged cancer patients for drugs by over 1,000% The report is the latest indictment of America’s broken healthcare system.

a page from the comic "Tear It Down" for Overwatch's release of a new hero, Hazard. Hazard, a large white man with white spiky hair and punk-stylized body mods, is drawn hanging out of the back of a hover truck with his compatriots, the Phreaks. Boomslang, a black woman with braids and neon stylings + body modifications, and Susannah, a fat, short omnic with rose tattoos and a trenchcoat, fire futuristic looking guns while two other Phreaks hang back mysteriously in the shadows of the box truck. The truck tears through a futuristic looking city backlit by a giant moon in the night sky. The colors are bright neon purples, greens, pinks and blues

First of all it's not a "distraction" that state governments are banning books.
Second, the people banning books are *also* gutting public education! It's the same fucking problem!
