Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

@4taxfairness.bsky.social identified two dozen House Republicans whose 2024 margin of victory is less than the number of people who will lose their jobs, health care and food assistance under Trump's budget. Is yours one of them?

Ironically the thing that's going to save us from fascism is the same thing that will keep us safe during bird flu. Community and one another. We have a choice go it alone and die or work together and take back our future from the fascists attempting to steal it.

Has it occured to them that one reason voters aren’t biting on the idea that liberal democracy is facing an existential threat is that they find it inconceivable the opposition party would be nattering about fucking egg prices if they really believed that were true?

more and more these days, I find myself thinking that you can accept the discipline of your political goals or you can accept the discipline of your resentments.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Indivisible is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is the week that everyone in the US realizes that Trump is gonna fuck up their lives in a real, concrete way. This HAS to be the week that elected Democrats back up their talk with ACTION. At the very least, vote against every Trump nominee. Deny unanimous consent.

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Yesterday, my healthcare plan’s RX administrator issued a denial of a medication that allows me to live my life. I immediately appealed, and asked for an expedited review. I just got notification from the RX administrator that they had approved the medication for a year. Appeal. Make noise. Fight.
