Right! Just like you and I know that immigrants & trans people are NOT the reason the working class MAGAts feel so victimized, but that’s what they’re told by Trump-GOP. And if that cartoon were drawn to scale, the rich guy would have a Tower of Cookies reaching up to the Space Station!

Especially since Trump and RFK Jr just appointed a Peter Thiel aligned venture capitalist, Jim O’Neill as CDC Director. A position held by a physician from 1953-2025. Healthcare as a commodity will lead to greater disparities and more deaths.
Dr Deb K (@drdebk.bsky.social) reply parent
Believing it and benefiting from it are two different things. Eg. My state requires voter approval for tax increases. We had a vote to increase taxes on healthcare providers to fund Medicaid expansion. Most of us docs voted FOR it. Counties w/highest % on Medicaid are most red & voted AGAINST it! 🤦🏽♀️

Your derision is silly. Resistance helped end the Vietnam War and save the ACA. The environmental resistance movement has saved our old growth forests and reduced pollution (like when our rivers used to catch fire & cities were as smoggy as China). It gave us wilderness monuments. And lots more.

I already am, dear. But we have to fight in multiple ways: support mutual aid organizations; immigrant support organizations; donate to legal fights like Democracy Forward & ACLU; boycotts; mass mobilizations; local actions; & getting out the vote. Currently writing postcards for PA Supreme Court.
