Many 9/11 first responders had to fight for the continuation of their healthcare coverage by the government as Congress has repeatedly put it on the chopping block.
People should not have to fight to have healthcare in this country.

I find it weird that anyone at COACHELLA, the appropriation Olympics, would stop a mainstage artist to educate about culture. Are we surprised about an artist at Coachella was ignorant? All celebration noises are jarring. Sabrina has been vocally anti-trump/ice. This is manufactured outrage.

We’ve said it before, and here we are again. Mass detention + privatized cost controls + infectious disease = a public health nightmare--one that harms detainees and puts us all at risk.
Case of measles confirmed in Arizona ICE facility | CNN
The US Department of Homeland Security says a person in detention at an Arizona Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility has measles, a highly contagious virus that can cause high fevers and a distinctive rash.

I knew it was going to happen, but oh buddy... My health insurance went up 382% per paycheck for the same coverage. That's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Most people are getting a 20-40% increase which is also not great, but 382%?!

2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.
The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.
