#LongCovid #MECFS #POTS people — has anyone successfully got in home care covered by insurance? It’s been a couple of years since I last tried (and was denied). I appreciate any advice/suggestions on how to approach this. Thanks!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

So - speaking stock market ... The tariffs are not the problem. The uncertainty of when or if Trump imposes them is the problem. So buy things that don't have foreign exposure?? I guess Utilities I would have said healthcare, but Trump is messing with gov payment of these. 1/x

📬🚨 HUGE NEWS 📬🚨 Trump plans to fire the USPS governing board, merge the Postal Service into the Commerce Department. It would disrupt 55 years of non-political mail service, and threatens to upend trillions of dollars of ecommerce and the 250 year-old US mail system.

Maybe we can get Trump to reverse his path on the Gulf of Mexico if folks start calling the "Gulf of America" the most polluted US waters? The Red Tide Algae is a problem that we could deal with if farmers and others stopped using/releasing so many chemicals into it's waters. 1/x

I'm tired. OPI and DEA are two REITS that invest a great deal in government properties and stand to have their dividends cut and business dry up as DOGE and Trump go nuts.

Well that was a nauseating 24 hours at our house. So many Americans are facing life shattering changes and losses at the whim of the White House. Share your stories. There is power in your words. Find a space you trust and tell your truth. This is how we fight. spacenews.com/nasa-layoffs...

I watched like 5-10 minutes of Below Deck Mediterranean. I have never seen a show so spliced. It had a cut every 5 secs or so. The voice would stay on one person sometimes, but constantly switching images to someone else. 1/x

If Musk and the Musknuts find any actual waste or fraud, are they documenting it in a way that a court will allow as evidence? Do they even know what a chain of evidence is?

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

If we have elections in 2026. The GOP is going to lose the house and quite possibly the senate. Trump and his Doge band of Musknuts are going to be investigated. The house and senate will call him/them before their various committees and have him answer questions under oath.

Some steelmakers in Canada and Mexico are telling customers that they are refusing new orders to the United States on concerns that President Donald Trump soon will reimpose duties, per the FP.

I’m thinking about federal income tax. If the federal government isn’t meeting its obligations why should we? Specifically, I’d love to see states get the money first and hold it in trust pending litigation. I want to pay my taxes but not to a government that doesn’t respect the constitution.

Well, I saw several videos where folks in Russia ask the russian Siri “what did Trump and Putin agreed upon?” and she says: “They divided Ukraine, same as North & South Korea. One will be controlled by US, another by Russia. RU will also expand to other former USSR states. Trump will degrade EU”

Fellow Americans: When you see your king giving you orders in a thick South African accent, don’t you feel a little bit ashamed?

I just learned this phrase today Non sibi sed patriae - "not for self, but for country" Trump and Musk could learn something from this - why even try... Apparently this is used by the US Navy.
