My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

Sharing this thread in case it is helpful. I mistakenly thought that all tax credits were on the chopping block. I contacted the agent who renews my ACA application annually and was surprised to find out that's not the case. Still a disaster for those effected. bsky.app/profile/jene...

Exactly what my partner said.

I waited a day to say this bc I respected everyone's right to vent some anger, but *remember to focus on what you can do*. Whether it's defending your community, taking action around what you've been venting about, whatever — but don't let all of your energy get captured in the social media space.

NOPE

Wife of a furloughed federal worker here. We live in Okinawa & they aren't paying our housing or his salary. We are worried about neighbors & coworkers in the same boat. This sucks. But what sucks worse? Dems fucking betraying us and caving so all of this was for nothing right when we had leverage.

No, HHS, menopause does not in fact cause divorce and death, but tell us more about how great you are at women's health. @juliannemcshane.bsky.social and I wrote about how they somehow managed to mess up what should have been good news on HRT with weird claims. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

New data shows that the CCRB retroactively doctored public data for more than 10,000 misconduct allegations against NYPD officers. hellgatenyc.com/ccrb-whitewa...

This is a recurring pattern with police reforms. In place after place, decade after decade this happens but pointing this out is considered unreasonable and beyond the pale.

Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

I don't actually care if Schumer resigns. The whole Senate Democratic Caucus is terrible. All of them.

Greg Bovino tells LA agents ‘it’s our f–king city’ in new video. In it, the Border Patrol boss also says “arrest as many people that touch you as you want to” — and later confirmed the statement applies to Chicago as well. lapublicpress.org/2025/11/bord...

🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN! The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

After going viral last week with her powerful death metal performance, Ignacia Fernández edged out 19 other finalists to be crowned Miss World Chile 2025 www.missworld.com/news/ign%C3%...

I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.

Sadistic, marauding fascist monsters having a tourist moment. “The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, ‘Everyone say, “Little Village!”’”
