My friend f/ NY received this 😔 message today.

NY's Essential Plan was established under an optional ACA provision that allows states to create a Basic Health Program for low-income residents who don't qualify for Medicaid. The Essential Plan used ACA premium tax credits, to finance the program.

Is anybody asking:
"Are any of those ICE agents, who are pepper-spraying innocent demonstrators and throwing them to the ground.....are any of them insurrectionists that have been pardoned from January 6th?"
Who knows who they are?

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

"Trump has publicly and privately lobbied the Norwegian Nobel Committee, hoping to be named laureate. But insiders in Norway say his overt requests have done more harm than good."

It's interesting that Bondi can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but not indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

Federal officers are firing so much tear gas at protesters outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, that some nearby community members who aren’t even protesting are struggling to breathe when they leave their homes to run errands.

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.

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.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.
