15 years ago, I worked diligently to help pass the Affordable Care Act. As a hospital oncology social worker I saw the tremendous health disparities due to those who were uninsured. One of my patients. Who I will call “Dee”, was a tragic example. Thread🧵1)

This is a thread of #ICELawlessness.

Don't ignore it!
It sucks so hard, but don't turn away! Bear witness & share it!

Make sure no one you know can claim ignorance.

At the bottom of the thread I'll share links on various platforms so you can share these videos everywhere.

Dear JD, you racist POS.
Immigrants aren't making #housing more expensive.

HEDGE FUNDS and PRIVATE EQUITY buying up acres of affordable housing and raising rents are. Plus lack of new homes being built.

Stop servicing billionaires and blaming immigrants.

Millions of rural Americans are being punished under Donald Trump’s policies. As entire clinics & hospitals close, local care evaporates, & families are forced to drive hours for basic care. When local access to healthcare disappears, people will die unnecessarily.

Grocery prices are through the roof, insurance premiums are skyrocketing, energy bills are soaring all because "Dirty Donald" and Republicans gave their billionaire cronies a huge tax break. #TrumpflationKillsHealthcare Trump's economy sucks, and hard working Americans suffer.

Here's Secretary of War Pete Hegseth saying troops should disobey orders and calling for "consequences" for war crimes. He thinks Americans have an "ethos" to be better that our enemies.

Arrest this fool for sedition.

(BTW "No quarter" is a war crime)

Trump’s been on binger and the cracks are showing - he’s posting absolute nonsense over on his TS site. He really thinks folks are stupid…

He posted this doozy of chart claiming he’s reduced the deficit.

📌 The deficit remains huge! Nearly $1.8 trillion — one of the largest in U.S. history!

If you get turned away from your polling place because staff at the polling locations are telling you that you were redistricted out of TN-7 despite what the online information is indicating, please request a provisional ballot. Call the hot line number, 1-833-DEM-VOTE if there are any issues.

Is this why Trump & his enablers had such a hissy fit about the message that the military should refuse to follow illegal orders?
@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”
