cannot say this enough:
Tom Steyer is running as a democrat in California to sabotage the other Democratic Party candidates, especially Katie Porter.
she would veto this legislation.
DO NOT TRUST THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ESTABLISHMENT.
the #California primaries are a referendum on #billionaires #techbros and ultimately, the kind of corporatist #fascism that passes for centrism in this country.
BILLIONAIRES ARE THE ENEMY. don't let Steyer hand California to the fascists.
"Americans are dying in droves. Deaths due to avoidable causes in the United States –which could be dealt with via prevention or proper healthcare – far outpace those in most of country’s peers in the industrialized world. Most notably, Americans die of treatable conditions at nearly twice the rate as Spaniards, French, Japanese and Australians.
They would most likely live longer if they enjoyed better access to healthcare. Americans are the most likely to skip a doctor’s appointment due to its cost, the most likely to skip a medical test and to skimp on prescription drugs. This is unsurprising, given the extraordinary lack of public health insurance in the United States. Americans face the highest out-of-pocket expenses for medical services in their peer group.
Donald Trump evidently does not believe this is an issue for the world’s richest nation.
If the budget for 2027 the White House proposed last week is anything to go by, healthcare is not the government’s problem: the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) could see its budget cut by over $15bn, 12% less compared with this year.
The cut comes on top of the evisceration of the healthcare budget last year, when the president’s “big, beautiful bill” (BBB) cut more than $1tn over 10 years from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, largely by imposing onerous work requirements on Medicaid that will push 15 million Americans to lose health insurance, according to some analysts."

KCLU: Little boy who was sick and not eating in a notorious ICE detention center is back in Santa Barbara County
"...She said the boy is traumatized. And it's a trauma that he didn't have previously, because DHS agents forced him into a car seat and tied him up forcefully. Since then, he's had a terrible fear of car seats.
Mom and son were separated from his father and flown to Texas — the child still strapped in his car seat — and held at the notorious Dilley detention center, also known as South Texas Family Detention Center. ..."
New from Jesús Jank Curbelo: Under #Trump, more than 50 American kids per day have an undocumented parent yanked into #ICE detention.

i co-wrote, with other feminist bloggers, a letter to the US Congress asking them to reject Samuel Alito for #SCOTUS.
the lawyers in the group had a long list of cases but there was one case that stood out. we all agreed it was THE red flag about his extremism:
HIS CRUELTY TOWARDS A BLACK TEENAGE GIRL in a decision that allowed prosecutors to treat her as an adult instead of a child.
that case felt like a foreshadow of this #MAGA coup & #civilWar

The towers are to track you, friends, and the border to keep you in.
“the towers collect data on people who live at the border rather than people crossing it… We’re actually paying Anduril for the privilege of them taking our data.”
…towers are located in public parks, next to communities and over neighborhoods. Maass said AI systems can lead to people being stopped, detained or having their possessions seized based on what the technology identifies as suspicious patterns.“

You are villagers in a very small Hungarian community and you all distrust each other, including your spouses, to the point that you pin all your hopes and plans on a stranger you also don’t trust, but since he has a tiny bit more power than you all do, you are willing to do whatever he says.

Anyone else noticing an uptick of #Nazis on their feed? I blocked and reported another one. Third in as many days.
#Putin compares the West to #Nazi #Germany in 1941
Why 1941? Why not just Nazi Germany?
Because the #USSR was allied with Germany before 1941
Many #Kremlin apologists are eager to forget that
"Nazi" doesn't mean #fascism and #imperialism to Putin. It simply means "Western enemy"
The fascist mass murdering imperialist part of #Nazism isn't a problem to Putin

I’m beginning to wonder if these fascists are actually nihilists. I mean, who but a nihilist would repeatedly take actions that will kill all humans?
They’re either nihilists or they’re the dumbest human beings ever to exist.
And don’t come at me with how they can protect themselves with billionaire stockpiles. You can’t hide from our planet’s fury, no matter how much money you have. The only difference is that you’ll maybe have a more comfotable commute to the end of the human race.
