What is it with this slimy mobโ€™s need to control others? Especially when it comes to women? Same folk who shudder at any form of civic duty of care expectations such as masking or healthcare. These dangerous men are anti-healthcare.

It's very important to understand this phrase. If this doesn't get us out on the streets in VERY LARGE numbers on October 18 (and whenever possible), the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ as we know it for nearly 250 years Dill cease to exists. FACT.

Please take a minute to read and repost widely. Thank you.

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

Trump is going to track Americansโ€™ every move.

This is in addition to Palantir tracking us using our private financial, health and travel data, social media, donations โ€” and more.

If you think theyโ€™re only tracking โ€œillegalsโ€ or โ€œAntifa,โ€ then you havenโ€™t been paying attention.

Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA announced they'll be hosting their own Super Bowl half-time show with "fully Christian, American" performers. ๐Ÿคฃ
Bad Bunny is both Catholic AND American. Just not "white enough".

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Actually, the Democrats did *not* vote to shut the government down. They voted *against* a CR that makes medical insurance financially unattainable for millions of Americans.

Have a BCBS private plan, even outside of the ACA, October premium for two adults with $5000 deductible and 20% copays alone went up 40%. $2695 a month. Unsustainable. $30,000 a year plus 20% of any bill minimum. Things going to get ugly.

Tulane changes syllabus, fires director over Gaza article | The Lens Tulane University, facing an investigation by the Trump administration, fired an academic director and pulled an article about polio in Gaza from an infectious disease course

Another attack on free speech, facts and education.
An academic director was fired because a syllabus for an infectious disease class included an academic article about a polio outbreak in Gaza.
Faculty should be able to select & teach pedagogically relevant material.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion โ€” just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

I honestly donโ€™t know how we stop this. Watching ICE fast rope in to residential areas like theyโ€™re some direct action operation to kill a high value target was fucking nuts.

Letting right-wing podcasters go on ICE raids is even more batshit crazy.

The GOP contortionists have made matters so opaque for every day Americans. As they eliminate EMTALA & ER funding. To stop a โ€œSpanish speakerโ€ being helped. So, the next unregulated gun school mass shooting that occurs; kids will bleed out while passports are checked and coverage is ascertained????

I think you hit the nail on the head. We no longer are electing public servants. No longer the helpers among us. Citizenโ€™s United has funded the elevation those who do not see lives of others as a part of the equation beyond cheap labor.Only a hair above free in the current economy. Disposable.
