I spent 15 years covering events like this... in foreign countries. Hard to believe (and yet I predicted it long ago) that it would come to this in my own. I could no longer sit by and be a journalist, or an analyst. I had to rise up and become an activist. www.thecasualanalyst.com/blog-1/categ...

So there are already dozens of drones in the air. And preliminary reports of russian strategic jets in the air. What a relaxing and wonderful Friday when you are Ukrainian. I guess I need to wait a little longer and those fuckers who call themselves "allies" will finally wake up. 🤷🏻

Today a useful idiot explained how Trump's proposal is stronger than the Budapest Memorandum because these are "security guarantees, not assurances." I told him I've been in a room where Leonid Kuchma & Douglas Hurd talked about the treaty they authored & he should listen instead of talk

I can no longer afford health care. If I get sick I'll die rather than saddle my family with 100s of 1000s of dollars in debt.
Republicans did this, and weak Democrats did this.
We were ready to fight. We were ready to feed our neighbors. We can provide food but but we can't provide health care

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is predatory capitalism. They gave tax breaks to billionaires so that folks could get bills like this for healthcare.
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????

Holy shit, are Democrats really voting for this tonight? The largest protest movement in American history has the backs of the Trump opposition and Schumer is going to make a deal with the least popular president in history?
But I cannot support a deal that still leaves millions of Americans wondering how they are going to pay for their health care or whether they will be able to afford to get sick.
