Three Palestinian students were shot in Vermont. A Palestinian six-year-old was murdered by his pro-Israel landlord. A Texas woman was indicted for trying to drown a 3-year-old Palestinian girl. We don't have to make this comparison to condemn what happened in Boulder on Sunday. We really don't.

There is no expense to eliminate. 1: Legal immigrants can't use it for 10 years AFTER they become citizens. 2: Non-citizens can't use it ever. 3: Undocumented non-citizens don't use it, because that will bring ICE down on their heads. (Me, I was just in Britain... I made use of the NHS)

TIL in 1956 a pilot made a drunken bet in a Manhattan bar that he could get from NJ to Manhattan in under 15 min, went to Teterboro, "borrowed" a plane, flew across the Hudson and landed on the street in front of the bar. He then did it again in 1958 after a guy at a bar didn't believe his story.

This. This is morally and ethically correct. a fascist, illegitimate regime has no right to restrict your medical care much less to do so out of cruelty & murderous intent. You have every right to survive and thrive and these are radical acts of hope & fascist refusal.
