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.

I say this as someone who's sat through medical training to determine what child injuries are plausible as accidents and what is almost certainly abuse, and regularly had to deal with the latter in an inpatient setting.

If you're not engaged with our reality yet, I promise it's heading your way.

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:

Israel violently smashed through the gates of Birzeit University in the West Bank, shooting 5 students and injuring dozens more with tear gas.

The world cannot continue providing Israel with weapons to attack Palestinians.

Trump being cartoonishly overt about his ambitions to “run” Venezuela and get its oil doesn’t make him any less dangerous.

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.
