There is always a tweet.

We’ve earned this, you guys.

It’s not even just about people having healthcare. What Obama did he did for EVERYBODY. Before the Democrats passed the ACA, you could be denied health insurance to cover CHEMO if you had acne as a teenager b/c it counted as a pre-existing condition. PREGNANCY was a pre-existing condition.

Louisiana is poor because Jeff Landry forces the people to pay for a $33B company to move into the state, pollute, and never pay taxes

CONCENTRATING them. Into CAMPS.

This is a nine week pregnancy. This is what the state of Georgia says matters more than the dignity of Adriana Smith.

Man who had a student kidnapped and trafficked because she wrote something he didn't like yuks it up with man who had a journalist dismembered with a hacksaw because he wrote things the man didn't like.

bill cassidy bent over for rfk jr and trump and they proceeded to immediately attack cassidy’s life work. and he still refuses to break party line even as measles have hit nola. evil man who should have his medical license stripped.

Historian here slaveholders would hang or put the heads of slave rebels on sticks to line a road as a lesson to others. This performative propaganda by the Trump regime is an insult to the American republic, the rule of law, democratic governance, and human rights.

Whose sidewalks? Our sidewalks!

This is pure evil.

they'll call it doxxing or whatever but you actually don't get to run the government on a first-name-only basis

headlines from a week ago as an incident near DCA appears to be the deadliest aviation disaster in the US since 9/11 www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The state says they are opening up a 200 person shelter until after Mardi Gras that they can force all the homeless people into. They think that’s easy. Expecting shitshow.

Where can I go during superbowl that’s cute and not too expensive and within a couple hours drive?

As a pediatrician in Louisiana, I want to put this in greater context. We have one of the highest rates of poverty in the US. The poorest health outcomes in nearly every indicator. Breaking down our public health infrastructure, instead of investing in and building it up, is shameful and reckless.

Oh Debbie! Cant believe our former head of PEPFAR would skip mentioning that he diednt believe HIV causes AIDS. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...
