"Ladapo’s approach to health care for trans people was as draconian as his approach to infectious disease was lax. In 2022 he issued guidelines against gender-affirming care for minors; in 2023 under his guidance Florida enacted a law that forbade Medicaid to cover gender-affirming care."

For example the video yesterday of "ICE IS GASSING A DAY CARE RIGHT NOW!!" is the daycare right up the street from my house. I about shit my pants and raced out the door until I saw it was actually from Saturday. I already dealt with that daycare gassing, thank you. Please don't lie to me for likes
Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

A load-bearing assumption required by MAGA's entire ideological framework is that those who are unable to afford the basic necessities of life (whether employed or not) deserve to die.
I love how these folks just assume that all of these people are just sitting around doing nothing
