Someone explain to me why a healthy “able-bodied” young man would need any medical care at all much less be on Medicaid.

When I was young and “able-bodied” I never set foot inside a doctors office much less a hospital unless I was in a car accident or shot.

So they shouldn’t receive care?

But…able bodied young men aren’t ON Medicaid. And disabled and elderly folks are going to DIE if you cut this.

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions.

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

The 15 year old girl who was dragged from her car by ICE had recently had kidney surgery.

She was thrown to the ground despite screaming “I’m not resisting”

She had to return to the hospital.

These aggressive tactics will disable. They will kill.

They must be held accountable.

I continue to be angry that we all got blamed for causing coral bleaching by using sunscreen, based on a single paper that hasn't been repeatable, but the actual cause of coral bleaching keeps getting ignored by the general public even as the papers proving it keep stacking up.

Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 13h

Warming waters cause corals to “bleach” when these organisms expel symbiotic algae that provide nutrients, oxygen & vibrant colors.

The latest global bleaching event - researchers estimate >84% of the planet's coral ecosystems have been affected since Jan 2023 - has made it clear the crisis is now.

The pardon would have to be preemptive, as Bondi's court proceedings would extend beyond traitor pedophile Trump's term. But then, Putin/Trump/GOP/Project 2025 corporate fascists very much are planning and counting on PERPETUAL DICTATORSHIP, whereby THEY are perpetually in power; if so, LAW IS DEAD!

Trump regime allies get a break - everyone else pays for it.

It’s the cost of corruption.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 22h

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Jamal Khashoggi would be 67 years old today had Jared Kushner not provided MBS with the intel needed to facilitate his murder. MBS later rewarded Kushner with a $2 billion dollar slush fund.

FASCIST LYING TRAITOR PIG TRUMP IS THE ONLY ONE COMMITTING "INSURRECTION"! His fascist Putin sponsored insurrection against the USA has been on-going since the traitor ran to Russian for money in the 1980's. J6 was unquestionably a violent physical insurrection; but all POS DJT does IS INSURRECTION!
