New: UnitedHealth scrubbed much of its website mentioning its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, including pulling down blog posts & large sections of its website. We saw the removals in real-time today because we've had a page monitor active on Change Healthcare's breach notice.

Good people have had it with these MAGA bigots and Nazis. The momentum is growing. Maybe they're figuring out that no one is going to save this place but We The People.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

(around an image of a hand grabbing cash) The new MAGA tax proposal steals from the poor and gives to the rich.

$4.5 trillion in tax cuts disproportionately for billionaires and big corporations

Guts vital programs like Medicaid & SNAP by an estimated $2 trillion

Increases our country's debt by nearly $3 trillion

MAGA Republicans fight for the billionaire class-not you.
