I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

That clip of Bannon circulating rn where he admits he's going to prison if Dems ever regain power should actually be DEEPLY ALARMING bc it outlines stakes & desperation that will likely *escalate* regime lawlessness & violence. Taking action now could help prevent that.
Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Defense tells judge they want to question Lairmore about 'gag gifts' he received from fellow officers after the alleged assault, including a Subway sandwich plush toy and a patch that (unless I misheard) said 'Felony Footlong.'
Prosecutors object. Defense argues they reflect CBP 'state of mind.'

The Chicago municipal elections of 2027 are going to be a golden opportunity to kick out a lot of bad electeds, if decent alternatives step up & do the work
23rd Ward resident Alisa Almanza said she started making daily calls to the ward office of Ald. Silvana Tabares to get a response.
“That was very surprising to see her not stand in solidarity with Jessie [Fuentes] in that moment, or just stand against ICE.”
