I believe that the inability to regulate the modern media landscape has enabled voters to be hoodwinked by politicians (on both parties) with impunity. Voters vote against their own interests, and when people try and point this out to them, the message never makes it into their isolated bubbles.

KFF’s Emma Wager explains that states won by Trump in 2024 have received more ACA enhanced premium tax credits, and had more enrollment growth, since the credits were expanded. https://on.kff.org/3VQ3kjF #QuickTake

KFF graphic featuring a quote from Emma Wager, KFF Senior Policy Analyst, Program on the ACA. It says, "Nationwide, 93% of ACA Marketplace enrollees received premium tax credits in 2025, but enrollees living in states won by President Trump in 2024 were even more likely to have subsidized coverage... Additionally, 80% of all premium tax credits ($115 billion) went to ACA Marketplace enrollees in Trump-won states."

What is really ironic is that this was my response and it was flagged as "harassment" and "violating community standards". Nextdoor is such a clear reflection of how civil society has deteriorated. Oh, and I'm sure the person that flagged it was Perry.

There are so many posts on Nextdoor complaining about a business and acting as if their complaints are being read by the company. Recently, someone was complaining about a business and someone suggested the contact corporate, which resulted in the author stating "I will complain where I want!".

I saw someone online that lost their key to their "lockbox" and asking for help opening it. Gave them some pointers but it made me remember #BobDole pitching on how to save #socialsecurity and that of course made me remember this classic SNL parody: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDgR...

Ha, my corgi also likes to sleep with half their body off the bed. I thought it was because their bed was too small, got them a new bigger bed, but they refused it. I've convinced she gets too warm on the bed and couch and that's why she likes the hardwood floors or to lay upside down to sleep.

Jane Goodall died today. Feels like being able to talk to primates would be useful as the human species continues to decline.

Spinal Tap 2. Go see it. It's hilarious. Just the right amount of nostalgia and new jokes. Some of the famous musician cameos are incredible and hilarious. #spinaltap2

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron.

Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept.

This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

In these difficult times, it's important to remember the violence and protests at #Stonewall that lead to the freedoms that are now under attack. Pride is not just about showing you're out and proud, but also to remember those that fought to give us the ability to do so! Happy Pride Month everyone!!
