Providing insurance to the uninsured is the best part of ACA, but many people don't realize that it also helped people who were already insured.
Insurance companies can no longer refuse to cover pre-existing conditions.
ACA prohibits annual and lifetime limits on benefits.
That's a big deal.

Incredibly frustrating that the #USDA again failed to include basic information about H5N1 genetic sequences from cows. All data had dates and locations scrubbed out—only saying “USA” & “2024”, which is useless for scientists to analyze for mutation rates.

Another violent and abusive white male is being treated with extreme deference. You all ever notice how often that happens? So often that when they’re held accountable it’s like being “persecuted”. I can’t fathom what that must be like.

Hey, while you're reading this excellent article, which includes: “Superhumanization is treating someone like a non-human...”
Might as well read this one, too, cause I still haven't forgotten how they tried to say Mike Brown was superhuman.
They know the phrases to say & images to trigger.

I, too, have never been followed on a dark empty highway by a truck with 3 bears who only stopped when I drove to a police station and stayed there until the police detained them.
I've never had to show a bear my driver's license to prove I was under 18 so he'd get off me and stop trying to rape me

Liz Adams @BoudI never had to take a detour then make it clear I was heading for the police department because of a bear. I never had to park illegally, close to my condo rather than walk far, from the nearest legal spot late at night, and get up early to move my car before it was ticketed, because of a bear02:45 PM - Apr 29, 2024

A bear never ordered me to make him a sandwich. A bear never said, "A wife should...." A bear never criticized my appearance, housekeeping, friends, or political views. A bear never cheated on me. Yeah, personally, I'd say a bear is better than a man.

*I've never had a bear slash my car tires bc I didn't want to date them
*A bear has never cussed me out & threatened me for refusing to give my number
*A bear will often turn & run if i scream out to leave me alone
*A bear will just kill me, not SA me before, during, & after leaving me w/no dignity

TinaG @tinagI live in a region with one of the highest bear concentrations in Canada. I'm beside a wildlife corridor and have bear in my backyard frequently. I hike lots, so tons of encounters. I've been as close as 15-20ft away, alone. never once have I feared for my life. I can't say the same thing for men.02:48 PM - Apr 29, 2024

Thankfully, the law and the justice system are better for survivors than they were then. Still not enough, but better.

Right on. What's worse though is the fact that strange men are actually less dangerous then the men in our lives. Being intimate with a man or simply being related to one exponentially increases your odds of being harmed. I hate to say it but I'd feel safer with a bear than I do with my own brother.

I’ve run into several bears while hiking or snowshoeing but not one of them demanded my attendance at a “staff meeting” after work hours which then turned out to be a lingerie show in a bar where I was the only woman with a group of leering, laughing men. 🤔
