FWIW, the main reason ACA enrollment is so much higher in states won by Trump is because they include all 10 of the states which refused to expand Medicaid. There’s millions of heavily subsidized ACA enrollees who would otherwise be eligible for Medicaid if those states expanded it.

He also cut the office that oversaw the Safe to Sleep campaign, that caused drastic declines in the rate of SIDS.

that’s also… not what men with unresolved trauma do in relationships lmao

it’s so weird seeing queer women on the apps with “not political” in profile like BABE you may think you’re not but do they?!

Good summary of what the process of getting rid of an authoritarian requires. Should have way more than 15K views. (Addresses the Wild Swings issue we’re currently dealing with.) youtu.be/3mxR2WQHeUc?...

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Here’s the SIDS mortality graph 1991-2021. Babies who recently recovered from a respiratory infection are believed to be at a heightened risk of SIDS. RFK Jr wants to make this line go up and to the right (Enlarge: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/core/lw/2.0/...)

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone. The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff www.404media.co/iceblock-own...

This is a must read.

not only did they, that was the point same as MacArthur Park they are literally doing this for content bc they are outnumbered and unpopular so the only plan they actually have is “occasional blitz ➡️ content ➡️ people of color intimidated out of participating in democracy”

A sex-blind admissions policy at selective universities will not go the way that the Trump administration thinks it will.

Saudi Arabia has a history of brutally executing talented writers who tell hard truths, which is why absolutely none of the comedians performing in Riyadh should fear for their safety

A Gen Z curly hair punk sweatshirt teen boy sincerely complimented my hair at neilah, an excellent omen for the new year (do painfully cool teens realize the power their approval holds over millennials?)

Finally looked at the Denmark drone allegations today - am now pretty convinced this is a repeat of the New Jersey drone panic in the U.S. The existing footage of the “drones” appears to be pretty much all footage of airplanes, as the below thread digs into:

immigration judges, but they exist only to rate you 1-10 on how well you immigrated. swam a river? 10. crossed a desert? 10. planned that shit to the last detail and did piles of paperwork? also 10.

Great overview of police brutality against CA journalists. LA alone accounts for "nearly half of all press freedom violations reported nationwide so far this year"! We must hold the line here. As California goes, so goes the nation. From my new colleagues @freedom.press/@pressfreedomtracker.us.

Taxpayers and charities helped develop the gene therapy Zolgensma. Then it debuted at a record price of $2M+ per dose, ushering in a new class of wildly expensive drugs. Its story upends the widely held conception that high prices reflect huge industry investments in innovation. (Published Feb.)

2028 debate where every Democrat has to prove they're the Most Offline

Subsidized rates going up mean that more “healthy” (we’re all one illness or injury away from disability (and medical bankruptcy!)) people will forgo coverage, meaning the pool of insured people will use more care and cost more so our premiums will go up. Thanks to my parents, I’ve never been

This is my district. Because I’m extremely lucky that my parents can and are willing to pay for it, I have ACA coverage despite not working (for pay, I work caring for them). But that means no subsidies. My BCBS PPO plan with decent coverage is already over $1000 a month.

You’d fire a human for having half that error rate but sure let’s boil all the drinkable water to power AI

Why would any Democratic Senator vote to reopen a federal government that is openly being weaponized to punish blue states? What’s the pitch here? Fund our government so we can defund your state?

Go, Jane, go! She's rounded up hundreds of Hollywood figures to revive the First Amendment organization her father championed. Fonda, in her late eighties, is in her prime as a climate champion and a powerful voice for justice.

I'm watching coverage of the gov shutdown. Absent is the recent Supreme Court action allowing the president to rescind budgeted funds. They destroyed the negotiation necessary for this process. How can there be compromise when one side has established that they won't abide by agreements they make?

I just received this statement from ICE re: Barbara Mariana Gomes Marques May in which they can't even be bothered to get her age right (she's 38.) She never received the notice to appear in 2019, and was at the final step of her green card process with her US citizen husband when she was taken.
