While reading Jonathan Cohn's #TheBulwark article, Five Big Questions About Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’, trying to fathom why the 1% and Republican Congress can't live with their already too sweet tax situation and leave #Medicaid alone.

Having visions of Capital Building greybeards nodding in violent agreement as Ebenezer Scrooge asks "are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?"

President Trump has signed three more executive orders, further cracking down on the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers. One order seeks to compile a list of so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with Trump’s mass deportation policies. #Stopfascism #HandsOff

Democracy Now!Trump Signs Executive Orders to Militarize Police, Punish Sanctuary Cities and RefugeesPresident Trump has signed three more executive orders, further cracking down on the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers. One order seeks to compile a list of so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with Trump’s mass deportation policies. A second order further militarizes local police departments, while providing legal resources to officers accused of abuses; it also seeks to undo federal consent decrees for departments that have committed civil rights abuses and seeks to punish local officials who “unlawfully prohibit law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.” A third executive order requires professional truck drivers to be proficient in English. On Monday, staffers placed signs on the White House lawn showing mugshots of immigrants, linking them to crimes with the word ”ARRESTED” written in all caps. This comes as House Republicans have proposed a bill that would charge people arriving at a U.S. port of entry $1,000 in order to file an asylum claim — and a $3,500 fee for those sponsoring children. The right to seek asylum is a fundamental human right enshrined in international law, and the U.S. has never before charged petitioners.

Did you catch the error in this protester's arrest technique? #nationallawyersguild and #aclu trainings emphasize that during the #arrest at this #protest the arrestee should have shouted out his name so that #legalsupport could determine his status and help obtain his release. https://www.amazon.com/Cybersecurity-Activists-Watermelon-Book-2025/dp/B0F5NKC8Y5 More on these topics in my series of three pocket guides "Cybersecurity for Activists" an encyclopedic dictionary for protesters and resistance folks. #teslatakedown #handsoff #50501protests #50501movement #50501protest blurring faces would be nice in some cases though it is probably not needed in this particular case .

Would you be able to detect Pegasus spyware on your phone? How can you tell whether or not the government has set up a Stingray, spoofing your ISP and intercepting your messages? If you are into #infosec and have criticisms please hit me up my expertise is really on the #activism end of this, hence I wrote #cybersecurityforactivists This is Book One of three (A-G, G-R,R-Z) and if you contribute feedback I am happy to put you in the Acknowledgements when I combine the three booklets into one big field manual.

📣 For the next round of #HandsOff #NoKings #MayDay protests, a reminder that I've created HIGH-RES PDF versions of my healthcare enrollment pie charts for all 435 House Districts and all 50 states +DC, perfect for printing to 24"x36" poster board!

ACA Signups · PIE CHARTS: Medicaid, CHIP, ACA & Medicare enrollment by House District (now w/high-res PDFs!)Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. As noted in the methodology for each, there's a small amount of fuzziness in some of the numbers for a couple of reasons, the main one being that the "as of" date varies depending on the type of coverage--Medicaid/CHIP total numbers are as of last October, while ACA Expansion Medicaid is as of last June; Medicare data is as of September 2024; and ACA exchange QHPs/BHPs are as of January 2025. With that in mind, and with the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which passed yesterday, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage.
