The verdict, based on shooters' plea deals, brought closure to a case that exposed deep ties between politicians, police, and militias, with Franco's sister Anielle Franco calling it a historic step against political violence targeting Black women.

Qadi (@Bigqadi) shared a meme questioning opposition to universal healthcare, arguing it stems from white people denying Black access, amid stats showing 27 million uninsured Americans—hitting Hispanics at 18-24% and Blacks at 10-12%, versus 6-8% for non-Hispanic whites. Critics countered with worries over higher taxes, long waits like in Canada, and why whites—who make up over half the population—would hurt themselves to exclude 13%. While polls show 66% favor government ensuring coverage and 60-65% back Medicare for All, support splits sharply by party (90% Democrats, 26% Republicans), reflecting deep divides as costs burden nearly half of adults.

Key Takeaway

A pointed X post cut through the noise, pinning U.S. resistance to universal healthcare on one group blocking another's care. It drew thousands of likes and sparked replies from every angle.
