The for profit health insurance system that Ronald Reagan gave this nation is the single most expensive aspect of my adult life.
More than home ownership, more than education through law school, more than rarising children and education for them - combined!

Everyone responsible for this should get a Nuremberg style trial.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Fleeing the country (or even the state or city) is rarely an option for MOST people who're struggling. Moving costs a lot of money, severs the ties people have built to survive, and imposes a bunch of risks. We gotta fix our shit, folks. WE have to. YOU have to. Get angry. Be loud.
Can we please stop telling disabled people to “just leave” the US?
Generally speaking it takes money, privilege & good health to immigrate to another country.
It’s not an option for most disabled people. We need solutions to protect as many people who are trapped in the fascist regime as possible
