Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

If you watch 48 hours of Fox News drivel on Greenland, you'll never hear any of the basic facts concerning the security relationship, like these. What you will hear instead are a slew of rank falsehoods.

Rather than extend the subsidies that keep Obamacare plans affordable, the Trump administration is making it easier for insurers to sell cheap junk insurance. These “catastrophic” plans require people to spend more than $10,000 a year on deductibles before the policies pay most medical costs

Don’t forget this point ⬇️
It’s hard not to be dispirited by the capitulation of so many elite institutions. How can our democracy survive if so many powerful people normalize giving up?
But true power in this moment isn’t about prestige or wealth. It’s about courage. And anyone can be courageous.

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.
When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

Republicans pulled a fast one—and Lisa Murkowski was in on it.
They used a budget trick called the “current policy baseline.” Learn that phrase. You’re going to hear it a lot.
It lets them pretend massive Medicaid and SNAP cuts aren’t “real” cuts. Total scam.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.
It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.
This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.
