I just scheduled a procedure for December because I don’t know if I will be able to afford health insurance in January.

If you don't walk (or wheel) a mile in shoes of someone with chronic illness OR their caregivers, you can't fully understand the struggles we face. We fight SO hard to keep up w/forms & paperwork & granted FORTUNATE access to healthcare to LIVE.

To dangle healthcare & RIP it from us is MERCILESS! 🤬

Even though New York, Washington, Colorado, and Maryland can’t redistrict in time for 2026 — they need to be laying the groundwork to draw new maps for ‘28.

SCOTUS could give the GOP up to 19 new seats by striking down the VRA. We can’t be caught off guard. We need to be ready to cancel them out.

Government officials should never interfere with or influence artists’ music. Art is protected speech under the First Amendment. When power tries to control creativity, it’s no longer about culture—it’s about censorship, and that’s a dangerous path for any democracy. #Pinks

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

This is yet another manifestation of their Sadism. They film their cruelty. They get off on it.

And Sadism *never* exists in isolation. It's always accompanied by sociopathy-psychopathy (ASPD).

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.
