don't look at me i'm just a millennial desperately clinging to nostalgia for some sense of normalcy in these times (yes i'm listening to it again)

so far we’re talking about a mask ban, not a tactical gear ban

This will only endanger vulnerable people who mask in public spaces for medical safety. The secret police won’t be stopped by it

That means you MUST raise a point of order and force a vote wherever you can, including on the trans healthcare ban portion of the bill.

I think you'd like Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Canas. Gothic, angsty, gorgeous prose. Set in 1840s Mexico

The myth that Medicaid and Medicare are “just for other people” is not only false it’s dangerous.
These programs:
✅ Train doctors
✅ Keep hospitals open
✅ Lower private insurance costs
✅ Provide elder care, disability services & more
They hold up the systems we all rely on.

Medicaid & Medicare are lifelines for millions.
- Medicaid covers ~1 in 4 Americans
- Medicare covers nearly all adults over 65
Together they fund:
Half of U.S. births
60% of nursing home care
Home health & disability support
Mental health & addiction treatment
You know someone who depends on them.
