I've meaning to transfer my playlists off of Spotify for a while, and the ICE ads finally gave me the nudge I needed.

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.

One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.

25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.

This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

NEW: in a hearing where a judge is asking the government why it’s defying her court order about deploying tear gas without warning in Chicago, the government argues ICE isn’t using body cams, and they can’t start using them because the government is shut down.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 5h

Skedzielewski also cites the shutdown and says "I don't believe that it will be possible, on a short timeline, to roll out a body cam program in the Chicago [area of responsibility] for ICE.

For CBP it "may be more workable."

Whoever thought of dressing up as giant animals to fight fascism was a genius. The regime absolutely wants violence to use as their propaganda as an excuse to escalate. You can tell how desperate they & their influencers are trying to make a pink unicorn sound like an existential threat to America.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

New in PN: Scenes from Portland's imaginary insurrection

Who is losing health insurance subsidies?

Mostly people in GOP states.

Workers at small companies and the self-employed

GOP does not care about healthcare or making Americans' lives better.

So the feds have now directed states NOT to send out November SNAP benefits.

A whole bunch of people are going to go hungry this Thanksgiving.

FUCK THAT HEARTLESS DUDE!

All he does is hurt people.

If you haven’t donated to a food bank recently, now is a good time to start.
