When a politician says: we’ll deregulate health insurance and send you a “freedom account” check, ask: freedom to buy what? If insurers don’t offer real policies or can cherry-pick only healthy people, that money is a coupon for a store that’s not open.

He makes me sick. Trump’s a dirty conman. It’s exactly as you say. No unhealthy person will be able to afford health ins.
Additionally, Trump will make deals with insurers, he’ll offer them tax breaks to do his bidding.
Soon, eligibility will be based on race.

This disgusting creature that Americans voted into office will shame us for eternity. Trump is a pig, a slob, and the lowest creature that anybody ever elected to office, besides Hitler.
He doesn’t give a 💩 about Sarah’s funeral.

Reese’s organizational efforts were instrumental in the voting rights events that unfolded in Selma, culminating in the “Bloody Sunday” march on the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the subsequent Selma to Montgomery marches. These events ultimately pressured Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act. /5

In January 1965, as president of the Selma Teachers Association, Reese mobilized Black teachers to march for their right to vote. Teachers represented the largest group of Black professionals in the county, and that action inspired the wider community and garnered national headlines. /4

Locked and blocked exits prevented patrons from escaping. The main entrance was a single revolving door that quickly jammed with the crush of bodies. Panicked crowds pushed against inward-opening doors. A lack of illuminated exit signs left people stumbling in the dark and dense, toxic smoke. /4

The blaze likely began in the basement Melody Lounge, possibly due to faulty electrical wiring or a busboy lighting a match to replace a light bulb, which ignited the flammable decorations. The fire spread with incredible speed, turning the building into an inferno within minutes. /3
