One of the weedy things I worry/wonder about is (1) how aware of the premiums changes enrollees are, and (2) among those who aren't aware, how many are having their premiums automatically debited from their bank accounts?
A 60 year old in Charleston, WV making $65,000 would see their annual out-of-pocket premium increase from $5,525 to $27,864 if the enhanced ACA tax credits expire.
The same 60 year old living in Charlottesville, VA would see their out-of-pocket premium go from $5,525 to $12,616.

The knowledge the TA is trans definitely colors how you read the essay and makes it far less of a defensible reader reaction.

Typically people have been allowed to stay when they have a “change of status” pending in the system. In fact, it can screw things up if they leave.
If you are married to a US spouse, your temporary visa (usually for 3 months) will lapse before your case is processed. The government allowed you could stay in the US while awaiting case processing. Now the Trump admin is saying that is a visa overstay and arresting the spouses.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

I remember Dawning Realization Month for the NFT people too. Think this is going to take much longer because of how wrapped up the whole economy is in this, but it really feels like it's happening.
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

A note on SaneWashing: I read part of this post to family (all liberal Democrats who consume a lot of news, but not social media), and it blew their mind. They all thought it was parody: if Corporate Media did not SaneWash, it would shock US, his approval would plummet from low (30s) to lower(20s).
