WEST VIRGINIAN: “If the subsidies go away I won’t have health insurance. I won’t go to the doctor. This really is a life or death situation.” #TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

(This shutdown is making the case for #MedicareForAll better than we ever could)

According to my online search the EMTALA law doesn’t prevent the patient (undocumented too) from still being billed for services. Even if they can’t pay, it would eventually go to collections which then can garner wages? So, it’s not really free in that sense.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.
(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Highly recommend Sarah Pitzer’s analysis of the Ezra/Ta-Nahesi debate.

You say that's not realistic? Fine. Ask for reductions of exec power. Eg: 5/

True, but I noticed People magazine published about this - not sure if both print & online.

He thinks he's at one of his cult rallies where he can ramble on & on and every word of his always received as both funny & smart. 😬

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

This, in addition to the disgruntlement of many voters, D, R & Indies, purely over the corporatists in both parties who do not represent the best interests of their constituents. The income inequality factor is overdue for a reckoning.

We can’t count on one hero to save us. “Our ability to overcome an authoritarian regime depends on millions of American heroes who refuse to be indifferent, who refuse to cower or kowtow, to an enemy of our Constitution, our freedoms & democratic way of life.”

Today, @marcelias.bsky.social explains why we can’t simply “resist” Trump and wait things out, but must build a long-term pro-democracy opposition movement👇

Remember to call your local Sinclair- & Nexstar-owned ABC stations (Wikipedia has lists by state & call letters) to tell them you won't watch the station until Kimmel is back on, & then call their local advertisers & tell them where you prefer to spend your...

My first thought too - let the full weight of the IRS descend upon him. Oops! Ok, the state then. It would be the state of Homan’s official residence then?

2/2 The US has “immigration agents” asking children at school whether or not their parents are citizens.

Representative Becca Balint (D), VT, shares the trauma we are imprinting on children today, as you read this, as I type this.

The truth must be told. Spread this message. No secrets in 2025.

🚨”My grandfather was killed in the Holocaust. His children were asked at school, ‘Do you have Jewish parents at home?’ My aunt lived with that guilt her entire life…. This is trauma that is being perpetrated by our government. It is craven cruelty in our name….” 1/2

Charming crusty guy Sarah! Have you viewed John Downer Productions on YT? They make amazing robot spies as imposters for all kinds of wildlife for natural environment viewing & behaviors. I know there are crabs - hermit & others.
