We should not tolerate racist rhetoric driving culture war that benefits the power elite, the richest and most privileged of us, when we can work together through class struggle to promote social transformation that benefits all of us.

The Republicans are making claims about "illegal aliens on medicaid" because their ignorant white voting base laps it up. Again, undocumented people don't qualify for Medicaid. Never have. Can't get it. The Republican intent is literally to pit its white base against immigrants.

OK, so it's one thing to lie to cover your ass on cutting funding that benefits your base, but it's quite another to be an explicit white supremacist while doing it.

There are no undocumented immigrants on Medicaid as the GOP is claiming. They are pushing out a claim of "1.4 million illegal aliens" on medicaid. That's verifiably a lie. 14 states in the US cover about 2 million undocumented immigrants. That's the states covering the immigrants, not Medicaid.

Hottest year on record sent planet past 1.5C of heating for first time in 2024 Highest recorded temperatures supercharged extreme weather – with worse to come, EU data shows

“Every year for the rest of your life will be one of the hottest [on] record. This, in turn, means that 2024 will end up being among the coldest years of this century. Enjoy it while it lasts.” --— Prof. Andrew Dessler, Texas A&M

Oppressions that naturally invoke community, cooperation, commonality–our ability to recognize ourselves with others, through and in others–are regulated via the urge/demand to struggle alone. We’re encouraged to find strength and solace in isolation.

The worst thing about capitalist culture is that it requires people recover, heal, suffer, cope, and struggle as individuals.
