"The Lies Americans Tell Themselves to Justify State Violence Against Migrants"

I posted a photo of Border Patrol agents pinning a man to the ground in a headlock – and the internet made up every excuse in the book to defend the assault, writes @scotthech.bsky.social:

Do you realize how big a business Medicare and Medicaid is for PRIVATE insurance companies ?

That doctors are already quitting because what Medicaid and Medicare pays them is too low and the paper work is an overwhelming time and dollar suck ?
It’s time to end medical insurance companies and move to a single payer system that covers everyone.

Leave it in the hands of the corporations and it’s nothing but a con game to siphon billions a month out of public and private coffers and into the super-yachts of the filthy rich.
I hope the Dems realize that if they extend the ACA subsidies, and take no other steps, they are giving carte blanche to the biggest insurance companies and major hospital systems to find new ways to game the system and increase costs.

Definitely go read!
New in PN: Habba booted by Senate and judges who did their damn jobs

"Angry tweets cannot hide that this is *absolutely* a surrender by the Justice Department. Trump tried to bully the Senate and the judiciary into accepting unconfirmable hacks as US attorneys, and he failed."

🏛️ A MAGA-fied Supreme Court

In today's 'First Draft' from @petertwinklage.bsky.social:
Our highest court might be about to turn American democracy upside down, Republicans release a shambolic healthcare plan, and Bari Weiss crowns the next 'mediocre' star of CBS News.

TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”

Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

The GOP & oligarchs don't care that rural communities are using wood as a substitute for energy that they can't afford.

To help protect our rural communities and our country, vote the Republican Congress out of power and restore sanity to our elections and economy.
