My dad is in Australia visiting my sister and has managed to fall and break his leg šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø He went to get X-rays and they were like, we're SO sorry, you will have to pay cash and then get reimbursed by your insurance in the US. Cash cost? $30.

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

šŸ”„SAN DIEGO IMMIGRATION COURTHOUSE: ICE AGENTS IN THE HALLWAY TODAY 5/29 ARE *COWARDS* AND MUST BE ASHAMED OF THEIR BEHAVIOR, AS THEY ARE COVERING UP THEIR NAMES THAT APPEAR AT THE TOP OF THEIR SHIRT POCKETS BY INSERTING A PEN TO KEEP THE FLAP UPšŸ”„ā€¼ļø

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.Ā  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

70% of lawyers have left DOJ Civil Rights Division & voting section down from 30 lawyers to just 3, dropping all major voting rights cases Trump has completely decimated crown jewel of DOJ & now weaponizing it to advance his extreme voter suppression plans www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE turned back in Somerville So many Somerville community members came out that ICE simply retreated. Nonviolent resistance works when communities come together to protect kids and families.

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Oh, look, I wrote this two months ago.

Right now, Republicans are trying to kick millions off Medicaid and spike your premiums. But remember: we stopped Republicans from repealing the ACA in 2017. I stood with @cantwell.senate.gov to say: Now is the time to get loud and speak out. NO CUTS TO MEDICAID!

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always ļæ¼

Resist the racist police state

ICE just detained a US citizen with a REAL ID on him, and dismissed it as fake just because he was brown.

What do tax cuts for the rich do? They increase inequality. They have no effect on economic growth or unemployment. "Our results provide strong evidence against the influential political–economic idea that tax cuts for the rich ā€˜trickle down’ to boost the wider economy."

The GOP Tax Scheme is top-down class warfare by the richest people in the world against everyone else.

Ha!

Say goodbye to the rule of law in the USA. Excellent thread:
