For us, Frances Perkins is the ultimate #AltCitizen. Born into privilege, she did not turn a blind eye to the needs of others. In fact, the more she was exposed to the difficulties of the working class as a young woman, the more determined she became to make a difference.

Still one of the great ironies of the ACA and Medicaid’s policy history that Josh Hawley, as AG of Missouri, fought to get the entire ACA ruled unconstitutional.
My colleague @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and I wrote about the budget reconciliation text outlining further cuts to Medicaid for @motherjones.com. There's still a lot of questions–and Josh Hawley is breaking from his party on the cuts. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So many lies.
1. Afghan refugees were vetted by the same process all refugees go through. No refugee has ever been a security threat to USA.
2. The Afrikaaners aren't persecuted. They're 7% of the population and own 70% of the land.
3. "Assimilation" is their whitewashed way of saying "white."

Q: There are many people who fit the criteria of fleeing persecution. Afghans for example. But they're being denied refugee status. So why such an exception for the Afrikaners?
