When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file.

Call your local officials at the city, county, or state and ask them to cancel any contracts with President Muskollini's companies. #DivestTesla #TakedownTesla

@timothysnyder.bsky.social Would you help me understand these "personal liberties and free markets" as it relates to your concept of "freedom to..."?

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

The House GOP just passed a $4.5 trillion tax cut for ultra wealthy billionaires. They want to pay for it with hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP.

House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.

Elon Musk has fired an estimated nearly 6,000 Veterans from their federal jobs, including many who are disabled. In Trump's America, the world's richest man gets to kick thousands of our nation's heroes to the curb. punchbowl.news/article/wash...

Why aren’t churches (& other faith institutions) speaking out more? This is against everything we people of faith believe in!

Hell yes! This is exactly what we want to hear from House Democrats! Use your leverage to impose restraints on President Musk and block any bill that slashes funding for vital programs. If you’re represented by a Democrat, encourage them to keep fighting back in unified opposition. 👇

This is how it’s done.

A top Social Security Administration official resigned after clashing with Musk staffers over access to sensitive personal records. They sought entry into an internal system containing Americans’ private data. Thank you, Michelle, for resisting—and for your 30 years of service.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

He is trying to counter the decline of $TSLA stock and all the demonstrations at his Swastikar outlets. #boycottTesla

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...

Two pieces of advice: 1) Sell your Swastikar (Tesla) while you still can. 2) Get out on the street and protest before Trump declares martial law and you're staring down the barrel of the military. Remember Kent State.

This continuous emphasis on the president’s election as the source of authority that trumps the law and ends the conversation — it’s full-on plebiscitary presidentialism. Not even an attempt to cloak it in constitutionalism.

Democrats are holding the floor of the United States Senate tonight to fight back against Trump’s nomination of RFK Jr. We cannot elevate a conspiracy theorist to the top health care job in the country.

Can we agree that this grift of taxpayer money deserves a #boycottTesla ?

Friends don't let friends buy from fascist, racist, wannabe dictators. #BoycottTesla. @thebulwark.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/tesla-is-e...

Sell your Tesla before you lose all it's trade-in value! #boycottTESLA

Would be terrible if millions scheduled test drives at Tesla dealers & didn't show up. Sort of like Saul-Alinsky-trained organizers who shut down banks in Chicago in late 1960s by opening bank accounts w/thousands of pennies. Schedule a test-drive here: www.tesla.com/findus/list/...

Why don’t we go shut down Tesla

This is what holding the line looks like, friends. Let's follow her example.

We outnumber those trying to take control of our tax prayer dollars that our representatives have already allocated. Don't believe him when he claims the authority of a monarch.

Hey you - yeah YOU, person who called your senators, visited their office, attended a rally, or sent an email this week. Check out what you're capable of. Keep it up.

Watching this case, too. The pause is a good thing. DOGE is trying to strong arm federal workers into giving up their rights. Hitting pause buys time for folks to organize against this.

A dire warning from a chess master with Putin experience 👇🏽

CNN with an absolutely gigantic story: "Elon Musk’s top lieutenants at the Treasury Department asked its acting secretary, a career civil servant, to immediately shut off all USAID payments using the department’s own ultra-sensitive payment processing system." edition.cnn.com/2025/02/06/p...

I wrote about Musk and this bureaucratic coup as plainly as I could. There's reporting in here & the particulars are overwhelming but what's happening is so clear: He's not trying to run the federal govt like a software company He's trying to turn it into a political weapon. (gift link)

Someone, who used to know better, told me today that it’s patriotic to support the president even if you don’t always agree. This is the excuse being used by many to explain their acquiescence. Actually, this is what a patriot is: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Two clarifications: 1. It’s the law profs who I’ve spoken with who range from “this is absolutely illegal”to “I’m not sure how this is legal,” as opposed to, you now, most media coverage. 2. Could still get a lot *more* illegal!
