They bought #HealthInsurance promoted by #Trump. Then they needed surgery.
The cheap #health #insurance promoted by Trump officials has a catch.
Some states have banned “short-term” insurance plans with limited coverage, & consumer advocates have warned of the drawbacks.

A US Federal Judge ordered the release of the people DHS now plans to hold anyway, illegally under both US and International Law.
15 of the people arrested at Broadview yesterday were clergy, peacefully protesting; bringing assistance to and advocating for the downtrodden quite literally _is_ their job.
But DHS/ICE/CBP brings only lawlessness and violence.
DHS and all its components and collaborators are a clear and present danger to the American People and the US Constitution.

ICE is pulling out of Chicago, for now.
In the process, they created patentently illegal, unconstitutional chaos.
The result? They detained 614 immigrants. Only 16 had any kind of criminal record.

Dr Oz isn’t mincing words, he’s stating the regime’s eugenicist goals loud & clear
“Want to drop the cost of healthcare in America? Get healthy”
Where does that leave disabled and chronically ill people?
We can’t “choose” to get healthy.
Just like we didn’t “choose” to be disabled.
They have no plan for healthcare.
Their plan is to leave us behind.

Remember: the only reason that makes sense why #ICE would deny clergy access to the #Broadview detention facility to minister to the detainees is because they believe the substantial bad press and messaging damage from publicly denying clergy access is less bad than the damage that would result from the clergy seeing inside the facility and telling people what they saw.

“This is very confusing. We’re going to take responsibility, but we’re not responsible. We’re going to punish a couple people, but we’re not going to punish them.”
Director Steve McCraw reinstated a #Texas ranger he’d fired over the response to the Robb Elementary shooting. The ranger’s appeal could have brought scrutiny on his agency. https://www.texasobserver.org/dps-mccraw-transparency-uvalde/

A Chinese immigrant has died in ICE custody.
He was found hanging with his hands and feet tied behind him in the “hog tie” position.
Deaths within these camps continue to rise, with more people dying in the last nine months than in the entire previous four years.
Chaofeng Ge did not deserve this
No one deserves this
His family are fighting for answers
One thing is clear… these camps must be shut down

Here's the thing about the pet eating story. Yes, it's bonkers. It's ridiculous. But it's also classic racist propaganda. It's painting the people you want to scapegoat as something so evil, so alien, that nothing you do to them is too cruel or extreme. "They took our jobs" is meant to drive votes. "They steal and eat dogs" is meant to drive violence.

The Great American Comeback with Biden-Harris:
• Nearly 16 million jobs added
• Stock market keeps hitting record highs
• Strongest post-pandemic GDP growth in the world
• Much lower unemployment & inflation than Reagan in 1984
• Employment for prime-working-age Americans at a 23-year high
The exonerated "Central Park Five", wrongly convicted of felony 35 years ago, took to the #DNC stage to testify Trump's cruel execution sprees and pursuit of the death penalty. Yusef Salaam, activist against the death penalty, was one of them.
Meanwhile Dems have re-popularized using "felon" as an insult and silently dropped opposition to the death penalty from their platform

I'm here, I'm #queer, I belong in Texas, too.
The Barbed Wire asked me to take a moment to introduce myself, and why our state needs #trans reporters like me, and media where we can see our stories reflected.
This one starts when I'm just 13 years old...

One can cite whatever reason or law that they want but the "numbers" or deaths speak for themselves
The US gun laws are totally nuts.
I can say for sure the current situation will not change if the US keeps it up like this
And no, it's abosolutely not "normal" how many people are killed on a daily basis by gun violence
It's freaking nuts
And yes, it can be different and we know how but therefor one has to be open to learn
