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!

WIC provides healthy food, nutrition counseling & breastfeeding support to millions of pregnant people, infants & children. Because it is 100% federally funded, within days families could quickly lose access to essential food & formula, & service disruptions. nwica.salsalabs.org/publicfundth...

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

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. NYPD arrested with aggravated harassment and criminal mischief. @pressfreedom.bsky.social #JournalismIsNotaCrime

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.

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!

Alright imma go and DO MORE Y and yeah if this ended up funded in the morning with some extra I could do so much BUT IM AWARE EITHERS HAVE IT WORSE AND GOD NYC IS SO EXPENSIVE GOD DAMN IT

Chicago: Buckle up for the invasion. Save this graphic. We’re at your service. 🫡

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

COVID is surging. Care because the research re long COVID is grim. It’s more common & damaging than you’ve been told. Care because the fascists in charge, like all fascists, weaponize illness to harm resistance movements & targeted groups. Mask to protect yourself & others. Give/get mutual aid:

Every time an article comes out about Palestinians on Bluesky I think it’s important to point out that it’s real people impacted by the policy- people who just want to tell their story

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. paydayreport.com/amazon-union...

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.

Many of you still don't get how these Gaza fundraisers came about & that they are more about you than about Palestinians in Gaza. I keep explaining this in every podcast I've been on lately...but let me write a thread as well: These fundraisers exist to snuff out your relationship with Palestinians

Please help if you can

For context here, Stand Together is Charles Koch. Koch-backed and Koch-linked dark money groups pushed to reopen the U.S. economy at the height of COVID. This is extremely bad.

Reasons to wear an n95: 1) Unmitigated illness most harms marginalized groups & you care about them 2) You think disabled folks deserve safety & access 3) You want to avoid allergens & pollutants 4) Fascists are ruining healthcare systems 5) Community care is punk AF Give/get mask mutual aid:

A critical investigation of the private DeSantis donor reaping the most reward from helping build the Everglades concentration camp. Incredible independent journalism from @floridatrident.bsky.social.

Let’s be clear MILLIONS of disabled people are going to suffer and die because of Medicaid cuts. Chronically ill and disabled folks rely HEAVILY on medical care to survive and they also have the highest rates of poverty in the country. Cutting Medicaid is a death sentence for many.

According to the BOE, there was a June 9 deadline to change your voter registration address in time to make it into the correct poll book. The blog has been updated and a previous post was deleted. Another important note: Anyone in this situation should request to file an affidavit ballot.

Well, fuck. A Bangladeshi lesbian friend has been issued an ultimatum on marriage by her family. She was, in the past, subject to religious conversion therapy to try to 'cure' her, and now will be married off against her will unless she can secure the funds and documents to escape. Please help.

This week, I talked with @silkys13.bsky.social about immigration raids, rising authoritarianism, mass protest, innocence narratives, and what it means to organize effectively in this moment. Given everything that's happening, I highly recommend checking this one out.

Seventy-five Democrats voted in support of a resolution that praises the deportation regime. This is not an opposition.

Yes, “disaster” is the correct word – this is a public health catastrophe. The pressure for him to resign should begin tonight, and continue until it happens. Nothing else should be in front of this. Go to a 19th century cemetery anywhere in this country to know why.

Wow. RFK announced via a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that he is removing all 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices, which is the expert panel at the CDC that decides who is eligible for vaccines and whether insurers should cover them.
