MEDICAID FACTS: Your doctor takes Medicaid patients, so your doctor might close. Your hospital sees Medicaid patients, so it might close. Nursing home patients will have to go back to their families. It’s not just the millions of people on the Medicaid that are in danger. IT’S ALL OF US!

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.

Today— May 10 —marks the anniversary of the destruction of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, a pioneering clinic and library of human sexuality. Nazis looted and publicly burned its research, records and artifacts to bury evidence of trans/queer existence. The parallels today are unmistakable.

As Gabriel Byrne says in Miller's Crossing: “I'd worry a lot less if I thought you were worrying enough.” We must hope that the administration is worrying enough about #India and #Pakistan, and can find the competence to help deescalate the situation. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

I've had folks ask me if they should still shop at Target. You gotta do what's right for you. I haven't shopped at Target in well over a year, ever since they removed Pride merch. Folks may call that a boycott if they wish. I call it giving my money only to businesses who value me as a customer.

The federal budget as a family budget: Wife works three jobs. Husband works none. 4 kids. Mortgage, insurance, car payment, food more than income each month. Husband: "We need to do something!" Wife: "Get a job!" Husband: "No, you get a fourth job, and let's kill two of our kids."

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.
