**Thinking aloud**
„Is this better for the Leopards Eating Faces board?“
More of that Magat free speech policy at work…
This is so messed up!
Treated harsher than the Jan. 6 invaders.
Cowards arresting protestor in wheelchairs! I’ve been looking for more news about this and it doesn’t seem to be covered enough yet.

That’s so deplorable. People allowing those who were unfortunately given a short end of a stick in life to die, just for profit. Sociopathy all around.
How many of these people voted for Trump?
Can these individuals point to specific parts of the bill that will harm them? It seems they heard the word „medicaid cuts“ and simply assume it applies to them. Many of them were in wheelchairs, I doubt it applies to them. Unless they’re faking.
When you start putting people up against the wall for execution, they tend to start fighting back. When they have nothing to lose, they don’t stop until they win.
They sit there on their thrones and look down at us
>“You will kill me.“
That is a sacrifice Republicans are willing to make so they can enact tax cuts for billionaires.
Those brave people!
Fucking crickets in conservative subs over this.
Those pesky leopards are going in for the stealth attack.
Ya’ll really wanna take Medicaid away from people. 2nd Amendment lovers make uo the absolute vast majority of Medicaid recipients. Do you guys REALLY wanna cross that line?
A hospital recently ignored/failed to document my mom’s Medicaid as secondary insurance (even though I was there at appointment with her and was there for intake) and charged her directly a few hundred she couldn’t afford.
I spent 2 hours trying to fix it over the phone with all parties involved, and it’s 50/50 if the void that is a billing department of a hospital that will fix it.
The hospital/billing company legit will have the same single woman answer all calls and repeatedly transfer you to an unanswered line for 20 minutes, to have her repeat it again.
These medicaid cuts, like all of the other cuts not talked about target the weakest and most at risk of our population.
Congrats Republicans, your going after the poor, and you got us shook.
Born with a genetic disease which causes horrible arthritis in almost all my joints since birth.
Had to quit working at 25. I’m now 45. With the pain killers I’m on, I cannot drive a car or get a job as the pain meds are normally taken for level 4 cancer patients. Also joint dislocation is an issue (I randomly fall over a lot and cannot keep things in my hands).
Born with. Remember the group of people that are forceful about every new baby is a miracle and blah, blah, blah.
This won’t kill me. I’ll just wish I was dead. With pain so severe that I’ll no longer have good days and bad days, they’ll all be hell days.
My story isn’t going to change the rich from getting what they want. They don’t care… but choices have consequences.
This is what happens when you vote for pure evil.
Dozens? WTF?!!!
Can’t get your healthcare, just gotta commit some crimes and then they’ll have to get you your medication. Funny how the only way to get taken care of sometimes is to commit a crime and go to jail/prison. Can’t afford that heart surgery, rob a bank, if you get away with you you can pay for it, if you don’t, they’ll pay for it, win win!
