It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

NYPD raided the home of a professional photojournalist, arrested them & seized their equipment because they reported on the aftermath of a paint protest against @nytimes.com.

NLG attorneys on site here have asked repeatedly to speak with protesters they're representing inside. No progress at this time. Messages being passed from ICE agent through fence supposedly to some kind of supervisors inside.

Today demonstrates American politics in a nutshell:
•Senate MAGAs: Voted unanimously to change the Senate rules to confirm 48 of Trump’s nominees at once
•Senate Dems: Responded by voting unanimously with Senate MAGAs to make Oct 14 the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk

*Deep sigh...smh*

Just a reminder that the p*lice are defunding YOU

Not ICE! CPD and the city destroying unhoused people's belongings:

Obviously fuck the NYT who will take any opportunity to try to sell more fascism to liberals, but this is also why "actually we do want DEA, FBI, and ATF help" is terrible terrible fucking messaging and everyone saying it - like JB Pritsker - should stop at once.

This notice provides guidance from the Massachusetts Division of Insurance (DOI) and Department of Public Health (DPH) to Carriers about Massachusetts guidelines for vaccines, and to clarify the DOI’s expectations regarding coverage for vaccines within Massachusetts-issued insured health plans. Under the provisions of M.G.L. c. 176O, §6(a), and the DOI regulation for Managed Care Protections and Accreditation of Carriers, 211 CMR 52.00, in 211 CMR 52.13, Carriers are expected to provide clear explanations within Evidence of Coverage materials to persons covered within Massachusetts-issued insured health plans about benefits for vaccines. The DOI also expects other Carrier communication materials to impart clear information about vaccine coverage.

Coverage for Vaccines Carriers are expected to provide coverage for all vaccines and the cost to administer vaccines, without cost-sharing and without the use of any utilization management, for persons covered under Massachusetts-issued insured health plans who satisfy the recommended guidelines established by DPH for the provision of immunizations in Massachusetts. Carriers are expected to update all Evidences of Coverage in accordance with 211 CMR 52.13, and to make clear in all online information how eligible persons may access covered benefits for vaccines. Carrier products with prescription drug formularies may limit access to vaccines to those specified on their plan formularies, provided that there is at least one product on the plan formulary that will address each item on the DPH recommended guidelines for vaccines. Health plans that offer non-emergency coverage through a closed network of providers may limit access to those health care practitioners or pharmacies that are part of their closed networks.

Massachusetts is outdoing other states because they are the first to require insurers to cover the cost of COVID shots and other vaccines recommended by state health officials.

Vaccines are not accessible if they are unaffordable. Every state needs to follow their lead!

The COVID-19 pandemic undermined the right in several key ways:

1) It showed us which workers are essential and empowered them.

2) It showed that the markets can’t solve everything.

2) It threatened GOP political prospects in a critical election.

4) Government relief proved popular and effective

This is my friend.

His name is Christian Smalls.

He founded the Amazon Labor union

Not as a professional activist, but as a worker who decided he’d had enough.

Recently, he was beaten and detained by the IDF

And no one in the MSM is talking about it.

Needed training upgrade or ‘cop city’? Here’s why Pittsburgh put an $84M plan on pause. City Council delayed a vote to develop a public safety training campus critics call cop city. Here’s what’s in the proposed plan and why the public is concerned.

great to see Pittsburgh hit the brakes on a proposed Cop City in response to opposition!

As data centers eye Kentucky, are counties prepared to change zoning rules to keep up? Large data centers help power everything from artificial intelligence to cloud storage to social media sites. Such projects may be coming to Kentucky.

Apparently those with power in KY are watching data centers ruin communities in TN, LA, across the US, and are like "we want that too please, thanks"

Citizens need to oppose these projects at every opportunity

Israel has systematically assassinated Palestinian journalists in Gaza while preventing international journalists from entering for nearly two years, and it does not take much to understand why the IDF views the very concept of journalism as an existential threat

"Handala", the symbol of Palestinian resistance, is no longer just watching, he is being starved in Gaza.
