Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

I agree that we can move forward, but I don't give a fûck about profit.
I'll give my neighbors enough from my dirt farm if they need food. I'll cut 3X as much wood if it'll keep someone else warm.
All I have is time and my hands. I'm happy.
You need anything?

I totally agree.
As a descendant of immigrants I apologize for all the damage done to Native people.
