Instead of healthcare, we’re getting de facto martial law to facilitate ethnic cleansing. That’s the GOP plan for America in a nutshell.
Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

In 2025, local police & jails played a crucial role in ICE's deportation agenda.
For this year to be any different, states must prohibit this collaboration and rein in sheriffs.

The cops shot and killed an activist during STOP COP CITY and then the state criminalized the protesters for indicting over 60 people on RICO charges... THAT IS STILL HAPPENING NOW. Those charges have not been dismissed. The first trials are underway.

Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.
