I pay $798/m for insurance. I get ~$200 in tax credits, so the "real" cost is about $1000/m.
On the VT marketplace for 2026: $3200/m, no tax credits. 400% increase for identical coverage.
If I wasn't going on Medicare in January I'd be screwed.
What has become of our humanity?

I live in one of the better states for health care. My health care plan is more than doubling in cost without the credits and my deductible is increasing by two-thirds. I manage a few chronic conditions.

This year, thanks to Trump and Republicans in Congress, my healthcare costs are going to go WAY up. $654.16/mo. And it’s even worse for others - over 22 million people are going to see healthcare costs double or even triple.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."
The Gaza War Isn’t Over Yet. But It Could Be Soon.
Trump may have ended the Gaza hostage crisis. Can he end the Gaza war?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order making city property off-limits to ICE. As federal troops deploy to Chicago, this is a bold stand for accountability and human rights. No city should ever be turned into a battleground for political power.

“It’s not fascism unless it’s pure totalitarianism” is a view no scholar of fascism holds, or has in fact ever seriously held. Fascism is an ideology, and has several different stages. I don’t understand where people are getting this stuff.
