Democrats offered amendments to use this money to fund health care, school meals, childcare, and reverse Republican cuts to SNAP and food assistance. Republicans blocked Every. Single. One. The Big Ugly Bill 2.0 will now come to the House. As you know, I am a HELL NO. (2/2)

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

This Little-Known Appeal Could Force Your Insurer to Pay for Lifesaving Care. Here’s How to File It.

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Hey we live in hell so how about buying some wound treatment for medics who have to be out on the street patching up their neighbors instead of *not* doing that and living the lives they lead before the goonsquad came to town.

Do you want to help Minneapolis out in a different way? Help set up some new street medics so that they can make sure community members are cared for at protests. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

How does one go about finding where 🧊 agents are staying? Asking for a friend. 👀

Today was one of those "shut your mouth and be grateful you have a job days." 😂

I watched a video of ice murder a woman. This was not self defense it was MURDER. ICE MURDERED an unarmed citizen. The admin is gaslighting us. Fellow citizen. When will enough be enough for you to fight back? I'm not talking to the vulnerable. I'm talking to those with privilege and ability.

The US needs to wake up. Every governor must call the national guard to forcibly remove ICE from their states. All people should be in the streets. If you let the regime execute an innocent woman in broad daylight on camera and cheer the murder, it’ll be your loved ones next.

Here's a hot take that should not be a hot take. Someone disagreeing with you does not mean they are confused. Sure there are moments where that could be true. But, to default to anybody that disagrees with you is confused is narcissistic and emotionally abusive. Get the fuck over yourself.

The more I heal the more I realize just how shitty a lot of people are. The people that I once thought was okay I now see as not great and understand they didn't treat me well. Fuck you to every person who took advantage of my vulnerable state.

It is WEIRD as fuck to tall about the actors as though they are a conversational topic. Talking about Jensen as over you? On your bed? Guys. That is weird. And a bit dehumanizing to those people. The saddest part is fans treat other fans even worse.

Somali people are not garbage. They are first, human beings. Secondly, if you are a Somali-American, you are my neighbor and a part of this community. This should not even have to be said. The only garbage is the rhetoric orange guy and his mob gang are spewing.

I really love my friends. When I have people that I feel safe with and I know that's okay to let my guard down with, I really enjoy always working on becoming a safer place for them and connecting with them even more.

The only garbage here is what’s coming out of his mouth

Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

Ever see the news and think to yourself: "I wish that surprised me."? Yeah.

If you are in TN7 bring handwarmers, your ID, & yourself! Do whatever you need to do to vote tomorrow to get Aftyn in. There's a reason there has been a mass response to this election by big players, including the running scared president. Aftyn getting elected is a THREAT to their power.

Emotional support and connection are for all types of relationships, not just romantic. Tying emotional support and connection only to sexual intimacy is misogynistic and a gross misunderstanding of healthy relationships and connecting with another human being. It sets us up for

Ummm... BlueSky is now forcing me to verify my age to "access adult content." Fuck that. Absolutely not happening. This is not about protecting children. It never was and it never will be. This is about control and monitoring. Don't do it.

It's DEIA. The A stands for accessibility. The disabled community is continuously locked out of the conversation. Please keep them included in resistance efforts & their rights too. They are imminently facing life & death very quickly with the decisions of this Admin & losing support for their needs

Is your tone being policed or are boundaries being set and you're not allowed to talk to someone however you want? Feelings and emotions do not justify behavior.

Peace in Ukraine must come on Ukraine’s terms, not Russia’s. Trump’s arbitrary Thanksgiving deadline and draft peace plan full of Russian priorities has this backwards. A peace deal that sacrifices Ukraine’s freedom is no peace at all—just an invitation for Putin to try again.

You maybe ableist and you don't even realize it. If you consider interrupting or even viewed as interrupting you, to be rude, then you are ableist. That is something that a neurodivergent does. Certainly there are people who are coming from a Viewpoint of being rude when they are disruptive. However

Trump is insane. He is 100% in need of being impeached, removed, and institutionalized. I have said it before and I'll say it again. I believe him winning the election was a result of tampering. We have to stop relying on Congress to remove him. We have to remove him.

Trump is calling for violence against my colleagues. I upset some in my own party by voting for a resolution condemning the killing of Charlie Kirk bc I believe we must end the cycle of political violence. Republicans in Congress need to find the courage to condemn this threat.

I think I'm calling it on trusting the FBBC Family Reunion will happen. It's Nov and not a peep from them despite attempts at contacting them. I wish at the very least they would have communicated with us members. Maybe buying the membership was a mistake. I don't know. :( But right now, I'm sad.

Man... I phone banked for my first time tonight! Like. EVER! I think I had two panic attacks, stumbled my words SO badly, but I did it!! I called 23 people! ACK! We have to put everything into getting Aftyn elected. I only spoke with three people, left voicemails for the others, but I

If you are in TN7, please vote Aftyn! We need her!! This seat is critical to both TN and the entire US. It will change our direction. Talk with your friends, family, anyone! At the grocery store! What's important is we talk & get active. Even if you live outside TN7 since we'so badly gerrymandered.

Jennifer Rubin of the contrariansubstack.com helps shine a light on aftynforcongress.com aftynbehn.bsky.social The election is two weeks away, and there's still time to pitch in to help Aftyn win this critical race! Let's flip the seat, flip the damn table, and flip Congress! LFG!

If we think of trauma in terms of a bone that is repeatedly broken, then rebroken, then rebroken again. On repeat, but it was never properly set not even once. Never received medical treatment for it. Do you have any idea what that bone looks like? Does it change how you view

I started telling people my life when I'm grateful for them. You never know when is the last time you'll see someone. Let people know how you feel about them. You may not get another chance.

Does anyone know how to find non-Creation cons? I want to reach out to ones within driving distance to request my favorites like Kim and DJ. I have stuck primarily with the CE cons, but I'm looking to attend a couple others that are MUCH lower cost.
