I’ve been wondering why Lanterns is so good. It’s written by @tomking.bsky.social. That would explain it.

Paying premiums and getting nothing in return. Clearly fraud. And removing them will save billions by…. How exactly? Seriously, these people are just too stupid. Either that or they are just trying to destroy the financial underpinning of Obamacare. Which I guess is possible, though again: stupid.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

'But our experience at P.S. 307 exposed the fallacy that caring families are more important than competent teachers.' Jesus, what an essay. I won’t pretend I know how to solve all this, but clearly blaming the families of students is not the way.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

4-panel SMBC comic update. A woman points out a man holding a "save our view" sign at a protest, saying "you’re not from here! You’re a paid shill!" the man retorts "I am not! I’ve never taken a cent!" The following panel cuts to "later, back at the shill office…" where the same man is asking his employer "boss, do you think you’ll end up hiring me after this shill internship?" The boss answers "sorry, you’ve been replaced by AI." as a robot walks up behind him stating "AS A LOCAL PEOPLE I SUPPORT THE THING."

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Families who fled violence, worked, paid taxes, and raised families in Massachusetts are being forced to start over in another country. It's cruel and un-American. Losing Haitian TPS is devastating not only for our economy – but for Massachusetts communities.
Boston Globe headline reads "Haitian TPS holders leave for Canada, taking skills and resources gained in Mass. with them"

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”
