Not Just Expiring Tax Credits: Here's six other ugly healthcare policy provisions which also just went into effect.
Last summer, when H.R.1, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” (aka the Big Ugly BIll or the MAGA Murder Bill) was passed by Republicans, I pointed out that for all the cynical talk about the bill being ...

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

The schedule has gone from 17 routine shots to 11.

Some, like the one leading cause of hospitalization in American infants, will only be given to high risk groups.

Others will only be available after parents talk to a doctor.

The choice is on families now and that should scare us all.

Hide your data, hide your wives.

ICE supposedly has the capability to monitor your activity on your phone without you knowing.

There's never been a better time to look into changing the OS on your phone to try to mitigate this.

"In May, Oklahoma approved standards requiring teaching the conspiracy, led by Donald Trump, that the 2020 election was stolen and treating the Covid lab leak theory as fact."

Well shit, look up your states' resent curriculum changes and keep an eye on them.
The far-right has spent the past several years accusing the left of teaching conspiracies and propaganda and indoctrinating children into extreme ideologies.

Now, as you may have guessed, they're doing what they accused the left of doing, but it's probably worse than you think.

My latest.

Facts:
1. The water AI data centers use to cool their servers is municipal water. Increase in municipal water use by AI data centers means less for you and me and at a higher cost.
2. The electricity AI data centers use to power their servers AND constantly train models also uses a lot of water.

Do these Dems belong to your state?
Vote 'em OUT!
Democrats, we need to talk.

These 8 senators let themselves get played by Republicans on reopening the government, and every one of us knew exactly how this would go. They handed Republicans the only leverage we had in the healthcare fight.

This is why we wanted the shutdown to continue.

It's no longer "what if we could get every consumer to pay the maximum they can or are willing to pay".

It's already happening.
You already pay more than someone else does for the same exact products.

Who is to blame? The corporations putting their pinky on the scales.

I feel this in my bones…

THE AMERICAN WORKER IS ALL OF US. Black, white, Latino, Asian, Native, immigrant, union or not. Not the “working class” stereotype.

We built this country. We keep it running. Stop dividing. Start recognizing.

I missed MASS BLACKOUT day EIGHT
because we were travelling for a trip I booked back in September.

I did support Uber for one ride to the hotel, but other than that only food at small restaurants!

Eight days wasn't that bad. We did a shorter blackout earlier in the year. Ten days next time maybe?

YWCA is a shelter for domestic violence victims and their children in Billings, Montana.

During December they ask the community for assistance in filling the childrens' holiday wishes.

This year all 12 kids have already been sponsored, after the first ask! My community is supporting each other ♥️

MASS BLACKOUT DAY SEVEN!
Cyber Monday

Yesterday I participated in an online silent auction for a non-profit rabbit rescue and I'm still in the lead on 3 items 🥳

Today I'll patronize my small local coffee shop City Brew, my small local pharmacy Pharm406, and stay the hell away from billionaires.

"...empathy and solidarity form the antidote to authoritarianism. This is why compassion gets mocked. Why caring gets framed as foolish. Why cruelty gets sold as necessary.

Because kindness threatens systems built on dehumanization.

MASS BLACKOUT DAY SIX

Yesterday we did visit Blind Cat Chocolate for chocolate bars and fudge for game prizes on Christmas Day.

We also visited our public library to refill on books & manga for my tween.

Today we got local coffee at City Brew and since it's -1F out, we'll stay cozy inside ☺️
