It's almost chilling how easy it is to get a referral to see another doctor, bc it appointments for six months from now are free, and seem like action, and you're just continuing to pay premiums while you sit there. GP's essentially just direct your waiting to other doctors for a living, now.

You should be able to send the government a piece of paper that's says "please help." The entire point of disability is that you can't do "basic" tasks like juggling paperwork and symptoms.

The way american healthcare works, is that it's profitable to collect insurance, but loses money when actually paying it. So it's profitable to make people wait, endlessly, for care. They keep paying, and might even die before you have to spend money on them. Win-win.

Screenshot of an article on The FP website. The headline reads, "I Thought I Was Autistic. I Was Wrong." The subheadline says, "After spending most of my life feeling different and alone, an autism diagnosis gave me the kind of relief that was impossible to resist. But it was based on a lie." It is written by Christina Buttons and dated 04.24.26 under the category Health and Self-Improvement.

This is a great overview from LUCE about how ICE is targeting immigrants in Massachusetts courtrooms. I have seen this firsthand and it's critical that we stop it. Visit LUCE's website to learn more and sign a petition in favor of legislation banning ICE courthouse arrests: www.lucemass.org/courts
ICE DOES NOT LOVE JUSTICE, BUT THEY LOVE MASSACHUSETTS COURTS.
POLICE
In 2025, federal immigration agents visited our courts over and over, resulting in over 250 kidnappings. That's almost 20% of all ICE detentions reported in the state, and probably an undercount.WHY
COURTHOUSES?
ICE loves our courts because they make it easy for ICE to kidnap our neighbors.
ICE isn't forbidden from our courts like they are in other states, and the only thing our courts require before they hand someone over to ICE in handcuffs is an "immigration detainer"— a document ICE writes for itself.
This can happen before the person is ever convicted of a crime, or even after the charges are dismissed.
WHAT A COURT ABDUCTION LOOKS LIKE:
ICE learns someone they've targeted for deportation is going to be at a
courthouse, as a defendant, witness, or family member
ICE comes to the courthouse and watches for their target, intimidating vulnerable people seeking justice
Their target, one of our neighbors, is kidnapped in the lobby or from the street
outside
or, if they were in state custody but should be released by the Court, gets handed to ICE directly by court officers.

Shacoby Kenny. Say his name. #bospoli #ShutDownSouthBay "He wanted more out of life, a job, a family, stability, and purpose. He longed to build a future and to be understood for who he truly was." His family deserves answers and a public acknowledgment, @wutrain.bsky.social @ruthzee.bsky.social.
Photo of handsome young man Shacoby Kenny, with soft and alert eyes, short cropped hair, a bright half smile, wearing a black suit, light blue dress shirt, and silver tie.hacoby DeAndre "Coby" Kenny was born on September 17, 1993, in Springfield, Massachusetts, at Baystate Wesson Women's Hospital. His name was chosen by a close family friend, Lynn, and from the very beginning, Coby was full of life, curiosity, and energy.
Raised in Springfield, Coby grew up surrounded by family and faith. He was a busy, inquisitive child with a bright smile and a personality that drew people in. Known for his humor and playful spirit, Coby was a natural jokester and a fearless daredevil, always willing to try what others would not. Even when he fell, he would get back up laughing, undeterred and resilient.
Coby loved to read, especially books about history, with a particular fascination for ancient times and the era of sword fighting. He had a thoughtful mind and enjoyed asking questions, especially about the Bible, often surprising adults with the depth of what he had absorbed simply by listening.
One cherished childhood memory recalls a young Coby, no more than four or five years old, declaring in protest while being sent to clean his room, "I'm going to Candace's house, where my yoke is easy and my burdens are light," quoting scripture he had heard in church.Church played a central role in Coby's life. It was a place of excitement, learning, and belonging. Music came naturally to him, and he especially loved playing the drums, a gift he developed while growing up in church. He also played football and enjoyed being part of a team. Though his behavior was often misunderstood, those closest to him knew Coby to be deeply sensitive, protective of his family, forgiving by nature, and capable of loving fiercely and wholeheartedly.
Coby faced challenges throughout his life, including mental health struggles that began in early childhood. Despite these challenges, he remained intelligent, expressive, and hopeful. He wanted more out of life, a job, a family, stability, and purpose. He longed to build a future and to be understood for who he truly was.
Above all, Coby loved his family. He shared a close bond with his mother, Druesilla Brown, who understood him deeply and stood by him unwaveringly. When Coby laughed, he laughed freely. When he cried, he cried to his mother. And when he loved, he loved hard.Shacoby "Coby" Kenny leaves to cherish his memory his loving mother, Druesilla Brown; his sister, Caribbean Brown; his father, Julius Kenney Jr.; his siblings, Kasia Taylor, Jaron Kenney, Jordan Kenney, and Julius Kenney III; his maternal grandmother, Leola Jackson; his paternal grandmother, Shirley Hall; his paternal grandfather, Julius Kenney Sr.; his aunts, Geralyn Brown and Felicia Brown; and a host of cousins, extended family members, and friends. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, Willie B. Brown, and his uncle, William "Bill" Walter Brown. Coby will be remembered for his laughter, his curiosity, his musical talent, his bold spirit, and the undeniable imprint he left on the hearts of those who truly knew him.
