🧵CDC friends, many of us are experiencing insomnia, nightmares, nausea, trouble concentrating, memory loss and more. These can all be caused by trauma. Now is not a time to “be strong”. It's a time to get help. If you are worried about getting help through CDC, see below for outside resources 👇

Need to keep yourself or someone you care about safe on 🧊icy roads? There's a new iPhone app, ICEblock, that works a lot like Waze, where users can flag anytime they see ice on the road.

#resist #noice
Similar to WAZE, there's a new ICEBlock App https://www.iceblock.app/ If you've used the app WAZE, then you know that consumers are able to mark on their map when they see construction, broken down cars, etc. With this app, individuals are able to mark when and where they see ICE in their community. This can help to alert individuals who could be in danger and/or at risk. Apparently MAGA is trying to keep this app quiet ... I say we make sure its existence goes viral. Spread the word. Not just here but any social media platform. Good luck ... I hope we can save as many human beings as possible. Just as an FYI ... the app is only available on iPhones because of the strict anonymity of the app. Apparently, Android phones would require an account in order to send push notifications that would alert others of the presence of ICE within a certain proximity to them.

Let's talk about Section 70302
of the Big Ugly Bill 🧵:

Section 70302 prohibits federal courts from holding government officials in contempt unless a specific law by Congress grants that authority.

This eliminates courts' long-standing inherent power to enforce orders against federal actors.

92% of adults ages 50 and older with Medicaid enroll through the ACA expansion or via pathways for older adults and people with disabilities.

Both would be affected by reconciliation bill provisions making it harder to enroll in and maintain Medicaid: on.kff.org/4n9lj0L
KFF donut chart titled “Over 90% of older adults with Medicaid enroll through pathways that would be affected by reconciliation provisions making it harder to enroll in and maintain Medicaid.” The chart shows Medicaid enrollees ages 50 and older by Medicaid eligibility pathway: 43% Aged, 27% ACA Expansion, 22% Disabled, and 8% Other.

On the anniversary of the disastrous Dobbs decision, I’m helping reintroduce the Women’s Health Protection Act to enshrine the protections of Roe v. Wade into federal law—ensuring a woman’s ability to access reproductive care isn’t defined by the zip code she lives in.

We know we’ve been more quiet on here lately. We’re hoping for a Monday miracle today, friends. We know so many of you are as well (for various reasons).

Although NEH has ceased to exist in its former glory for the past 59 days, tomorrow it becomes very real. (1/2)

This clip reminded me of the Tiananmen Square footage of the man carrying groceries standing in front of a tank. This skater kid proved the lie that National Guard troops are necessary to quell the riots. He's NO threat to the massed ICE agents, yet they keep firing at him. That kid has courage.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

The media is downplaying the murder of Jonathan Joss. IT WAS AN ANTI-GAY HATE CRIME DURING PRIDE MONTH AND YOU SHOULD BE FURIOUS Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a qun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentine's Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. -Tristan Kern de Gonzales
