The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

There’s a growing problem you’re not supposed to question: masked agents detaining migrants. Not in war zones...here...on U.S. soil. When power hides its face...it stops being accountable. When you can’t ID authority...you can’t challenge it. 1/5 🧵

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

"I think that makes a lot of military members uncomfortable, because that’s not what they signed up for." @peter-berger.bsky.social talked to a veteran and military law expert on “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier in Los Angeles.

This is Ando. He's been a high-risk explosives detection dog for 6 years, and last week he celebrated his final day on the job. His coworkers threw him a surprise retirement party by showering him with dummies, a special reward that detection dogs are trained to love. 14/10 congratulations Ando

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

If fascism prevails, all regulations on corporations will be eliminated allowing them to reap massive profits. In doing that, they’ll pollute the land and the environment, which will hasten the extinction of human beings. If we can’t breathe the air or drink the water we cannot survive.

I don't care if you're in small town or a big city, no matter what race or religion you are, no matter where you were born. Every American citizen in this country needs to understand what's at stake. Unbridled power means any one of us can be whisked away.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Can someone tell me why we allow undocumented workers to fight for our country, and Afghan citizens to help our soldiers, then deport them for no reason?

Any explanation of this attack that doesn’t contextualize it as part of an authoritarian’s agenda to to consolidate power should be ridiculed. We need to make the country understand that this isn’t a president protecting us. It’s a wannabe dictator creating chaos and grabbing for more power.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Because the press and the punditry are completely out of their depth. Imagine covering Saddam’s Iraq or Putin’s Russia or any other authoritarian country attacking another and failing to analyze it from a domestic politics lens.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

It must piss Trump off that the protesters haven’t burned buildings or killed civilians. He wants justification for his inappropriate actions. The only violence in the streets is being caused by his masked kidnappers.
