MAHA sure isn’t helping me.
Medicaid in my state won’t cover nutrition services but it will cover GLP-1 shots?
Wait, nope as of today the shots aren’t covered either thanks to Republican cutbacks.

"Political violence is antithetical to small-l liberal democracy and the murder of Charlie Kirk was wrong" and "Charlie Kirk advocated for a brand of politics that was steeped in bigoted values and did not foster constructive discourse" are two thoughts you can hold simultaneously without exploding.
Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

Women who were victimized as girls are not okay with abusive men avoiding accountability for the sex crimes they committed.
I am finding myself livid that there’s a list of men who abused girls and yeah, we want the one at the top to go down. We want them all to go down.

The American Medical Association is providing daily updates on their YouTube Channel. Here is yesterday’s update on the Covid Vaccine upcoming booster shot J1N1 variant for 2025/2026. It is sad we are having to work around this regime’s desire to handicap public health.

What the Republican Congress is doing to America shows their true nature.
50 Senators, the Vice President, and as many as 220 Representatives get to decide how horrible life will be for millions of Americans.
It’s hateful.

I’ve been on Medicaid since NC expanded it as part of the ACA.
Chances are that everyone reading this knows someone on Medicaid.
Will I lose my healthcare coverage in the next few years? Maybe. In the meantime, every single Republican needs to go. They own this disaster, soup to nuts.

The context is important. How we got into this mess is important as we grapple with how we might get out of it.
I made a long video about the "someone's got to do it" memes, where they came from, what they're really saying, and what these posts reveal about collective trauma, political cynicism, our decaying faith in democratic institutions and so so much more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrj...

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
