Too many people don't realize that they voted for lower taxes, smaller government, and therefore no FEMA, food aid, regulated airport safety, public health, and other helpful government functions. So states, municipalities, and individuals are on their own.

The White House cites an NPR feature that states "banana slugs are hermaphrodites" as a reason to cease public funding of the network.

And forcing them to work for free, for the for-profit concentration camp, is called slavery. America's greatest hits, all in one place.
Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.

-You cannot legally deport people without due process.

-You cannot legally deport citizens.

-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

I hope that people will continue to publicly post their health insurance refusals, and name the insurance companies involved.
I also hope that physicians can find a way to do it too; and the daily numbers of calls and forms and time they spent trying to get authorizations through.
