Virginia Bell, a retiree in Starkville, Mississippi, said she's seen sick family members struggle to get onto Medicaid, including one who died recently without coverage. Now, she fears work requirements could make it harder. buff.ly/2UjEUST

Regardless of whether you like Joe B or not, love the thoughts this image calls up. If it helps, imagine me in his place, hoisting a glass to Dickhead in Chief's shitty polls. Not to mention the Orange Asshole's loser parade while the rest of us went all #NoKings on his ass. #inamood #8647

ICYMI: The Senate is poised to pass a bill that would protect the savings of cryptocurrency owners before those of other bank customers. Yet again, legislators prioritizing the interests of the wealthy over working people. Shameful. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

My favorite local pupuseria has been keeping their front door locked during business hours because masked ICE kidnappers have been patrolling the neighborhood. Whole areas of LA are in lockdown. It's devastating. All the stores and even the doctor's offices and churches have these posters up.

Yes, this report in 2021 from NY AG Letitia James was damning regarding protocols for Covid in nursing homes in NY, the undercounting of deaths (by as much as 50%), & the fact that Cuomo "created limited immunity provisions for health care providers related to COVID-19." ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

UNFORGIVABLE: ICE snatched up Ernesto Manuel-Andres — a Kentucky teenager with a legal right to be here — while he was just trying to eat his lunch. They didn’t care. They raided his home without a warrant & tossed him into detention — ignoring his paperwork.

She is not “likely dead in the eyes of the law.” She is dead both legally & in the sense her body cannot even perform basic functions like breathing or sustaining a heartbeat without invasive intervention. They are animating a corpse to let cells multiply in it. It is horror worse than Frankenstein.

I quote not to dunk, but because I see how these takes form, and it’s because the framing was broken to start. The facts were never right to begin with. Bluesky wasn’t started by Jack Dorsey. It’s not a liberal project (if anything, it’s libertarian to a fault, structurally). And then, power…

It is a disaster. Old enough to remember when we had very few vaccines and suffered through the diseases. At least I'm still alive. So many others were not so lucky. I knew people left partially disabled by polio and harmed by measles. So fuck these anti vaxx assholz

Good for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social. He is free now and his legacy is secure. He will be remembered for speaking out and not bending the knee. Also he will make more money now and have a bigger platform and influence. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/b...
