They said they'd come for abortion and they did it. There is every reason to believe them when they say they're going to end Social Security. Ask your friends & family who intent to vote Republican this fall if they think they & their loved ones could get by without it.

Historian here to remind you that when the student body was predominantly white, world-class public universities like Berkeley charged no tuition. Today's student debt is a product of underfunding of education right as integration began to take place. dailycal.org/2014/12/22/hist…
