person B sucks but i think those arguments are v important tbh churches were vital in resisting him and even more so now and the wider public discourse about Who's A Real Christian is a consequence of ongoing polarization and intra christian dispute of their faith specifically over those issues

One of the most powerful revelations for your personal and political growth is this: if you live long enough, you’ll become disabled. No one is immune to illness, injury, or aging. If you’re not committed to disability justice for altruistic reasons, commit for selfish ones. And guard your health.

This is LITERALLY Nazi propaganda. As in, the actual real life Nazis in 1930's Germany brought out posters saying how paying for chronically ill people is a waste of all the "healthy people's" money. I even made a post about it here: bsky.app/profile/qich...

60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%. Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.

If you are also worried about tariffs and supply chain shortages, and have the financial means to prepare, here is what I have stocked up on and plan to buy soon, plus what I would get if I had kids, a car or a larger home, based on reporting I've read or done myself in the last several months (🧵):

Listen to this segment. They entrapped Mayor Baraka and someone explicitly told ICE to arrest him, an American citizen standing on public ground, in front of sitting members of Congress who tried to stop it. This was already very bad and is now holy shit bad.

Also let’s all acknowledge how fucked up it is that propaganda spin of the word “protest” has given it such a negative connotation that the fascist propagandists are now using it to paint a govt official as an extremist. And the media is playing along.

And like let’s be clear what it means to hold a sitting official ( whose dad is a Veteran and was discharged for communism) In an ICE facility While these news papers call it protest as he does the BASIC part of his civic job

If I was Booker's political advisor, I'd have him on a plane/in car to that ICE facility right now and holding a news conference ASAP with a bunch of other Democratic officials calling for Mayor Baraka's immediate release.

Members of Congress were also there, but were not arrested. One reason why? It's literally illegal for DHS to bar any member of Congress from entering an immigration detention facility for the purposes of conducting oversight.

The Trump administration has ended refugee resettlement from war-torn regions where people are in horrific scenarios, and has cut off support mandated by law to those resettled in the last year — and now they’re chartering a jet to fly White South Africans here as “refugees.”
