I have one slight disagreement with this post.

There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy.

And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

In Phoenix, AZ, a 30-yr old single parent w/one child earning $30K/yr could go from paying $0 in premiums to $99/month...technically an infinite increase.

In Boise, ID, a family of four earning $60K/yr could go from paying $85/mo to $311...a whopping 3.7x as much as they pay today.

Got this notice from X claiming that my screenshot of a paragraph of text published by the New York Times back in November 2024 "doesn't meet our platform's guidelines." I'm supposed to address this, but "simply removing the content will not resolve the issue." I could lose my account. See next: 1/2

Hey Republicans—why are you so eager to gut health care and rip food assistance from your own constituents? Is cruelty the point, or just the bonus?

The messages being sent from Venice and Washington D.C. aren't being received like the people sending them think they are. They should start listening before the pendulum blows right through their comfortable lives. My latest.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
