A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

On the public lands near Mount Shasta, a sense of lawlessness was growing. Cars stripped at trailheads. Roads blocked by armed civilians. Then two federal biologists were allegedly kidnapped. Was it bound to happen? Joshua Partlow reports:

Just received this from immigration attorney Mo Goldman. This is why ICE is in the airports. Please share! @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social
TRAVEL WARNING: ICE has been arresting and detaining people at Phoenix Sky Harbor
Airport. We are hearing of several reports of this happening over the past week.
This includes people in the legal process (we have one client who had a pending asylum application who got arrested by ICE last night despite awaiting the result of his asylum interview that happened recently).
They are tracking everyone they can get their hands on.So, just be forewarned that any domestic travel through airports is very risky. This applies to anyone who does not have a steady lawful status in the country (so, if you have an application pending and you are
"doing it the right way" you could be arrested and detained).

Wannabe #Fascist #Dictator #DonaldTrump and #ICE 8647 "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past." ~ George Orwell's 1984 ~ #Resist 24/7/365 Film Film Film Everything #NoKings #Indivisible #BlueCrew #VoteBlue
The image is a two-part vertical juxtaposition. The upper half looks like a vintage, propaganda-style poster: a grainy, high-contrast face stares out from inside the rounded rectangle of an old television screen. Only the eyes and the top of the face are prominent, rendered in a reddish-brown halftone that gives it a menacing, watchful quality. Below the screen a metallic, industrial frame holds a bold numeric label, “1984,” set against a dark, textured background — the whole composition feels intentionally dystopian and hard-edged, with scratches and patina on the metal suggesting age and decay.

Directly beneath that is a modern, full-color banner stretched down the facade of a building. It features a large portrait of a middle-aged man with swept-back hair and a serious expression; the photo is crisp, highly lit, and cropped to emphasize his face and shoulders. The banner’s deep blue background contrasts sharply with the sepia tones above, and text near the bottom reads “AMERICAN WORKERS FIRST” in all caps. Vertical concrete or stone columns frame the banner, giving it a monumental, civic scale. Together, the two images create a striking visual contrast — the top evokes surveillance and authoritarian imagery, the bottom a polished, political advertisement — and the pairing feels deliberately provocative, inviting the viewer to compare the two messages.
