gotta be tough for a lot of Dems to figure out their messaging today - how do they mix anti-Trumpness with their AIPAC sponcon?

the Dems are technically the party of progress because they want to take us back to the '90s whereas the GOP aims for the '50s, preferably before Jackie Robinson won a World Series.

just flashing back to the 2020 primary when the "but how will they pay for it, huh?" Dems lined up against universal healthcare. There's always money in the banana stand for death and explosions.

My feature on how musicians deal with the American medical system is here, with artists detailing their struggles to get decent care for cancer, gender-affirming care, chronic illnesses, substance abuse, and catastrophic injuries. This one is important to me, so please take a few mins to read it!

This is one of many ways the trans rights and disability rights are linked: “Having to take medicine for the rest of your life” is not something to avoid at all costs, it’s something that comes for us all eventually as we get older. Disabled rights are your rights, trans rights are your rights

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

Really poignant and magnificent reporting illustrating how terrible the US health insurance “system” is. In reality not a system, just a patchwork of coverage that many people fall through the cracks in, and others find out that even though they “have” insurance, it’s woefully inadequate 1/4

It’s diverting care and basic humanity from a vulnerable population, not attention. Maybe read a book instead of writing an instantly forgettable one.

“Some lower-income musicians fall into that hole where they’re not making enough for a subsidized ACA plan but aren’t eligible for Medicaid in their state. There’s a lot of acute financial anxiety.” American healthcare is a scam
