1. Good for them.
2. As a former N Carolinian, now Oregonian, I’m gobsmacked at how much more organized & direct protests are there.
Frogs are cute and all, but actions here are much more ad hoc.
JUST IN: A tidal wave of 30,000 students hit the streets in Charlotte, walking out to confront ICE with sheer numbers and zero hesitation.

This is a generation refusing to be controlled.

The Trump Administration is abandoning plans for the biggest-ever cut to Social Security Disability Insurance, which would have hit older workers hardest.

The rule would have devastated up to 1.5 million workers' financial stability, retirement security & access to health care.

Social Security scraps plan to limit disability benefits after uproar
The policy would have fundamentally altered who qualifies for the two federal disability programs by eliminating or limiting a person’s age as a factor to consider.

Private Medicaid insurers list big networks of doctors to help get billions of taxpayer dollars. Many of those doctors don't actually see Medicaid patients.
Medicaid Insurers Promise Lots of Doctors. Good Luck Seeing One.
Many doctors listed in insurer networks treat few or no Medicaid recipients, leaving patients with long waits. “Don’t get sick.”

This is fascinating.
👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year!

Let's start with a student describing her segregated school:

"The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education"

The twist? The student is white, and her school is private.

We talk about how few minutes patients spend with providers...and forget how long patients spend taking care of themselves.

One patient spent roughly 8,760 hours annually managing her health versus just ONE hour with clinicians.

Also f- insane to me that I’m boarding a plane in 90 minutes. Gulp.
It is fucking insane to me that senate democrats bailed him out
Trump to air traffic controllers: "For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU. You didn’t step up to help the U.S.A. against the FAKE DEMOCRAT ATTACK"
