My mom just got a prescription for a new wheelchair.

AFTER insurance, she's being charged 600. Luckily she has a second insurance that is covering that portion.

Looked up the exact model number on Amazon, it's only 250 bucks there.

The US healthcare system in a nutshell.

Anti-ICE protestors just got up to 100 years in prison for protesting while January 6 rioters roam around the country free: https://t.co/ThKpwb6XqR

Knicks really won the NBA Championship with an Anime storyline of succeeding via the power of trust & friendship.

In Texas if you protest against the illegal kidnappings of your neighbors, you’ll get sentenced to 50 years in prison because the judge wants to “send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

Egregious.

the Prairieland convictions mean: if your ideology puts you in opposition to the state, there’s now a framework for making said opposition a federal crime. quotidian protest stuff is evidence of terrorism is someone around you does something the government *decides* is violent.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

the jury convicted 7 people of materially supporting terrorism (aka “antifa”) by being in attendance at a demonstration to show solidarity and support to the people caged in the ICE facility

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

the trial was a bit of a farce (first attempt was declared a mistrial because the defense attorney wore a shirt w MLK Jr on it under her blazer) and the Trump appointed judge fined the defense for filing routine discovery motions. he also kept a very tightly closed courtroom

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

one person was charged with attempted murder for the shot officer. but 18 other people got swept up in the case - some who weren’t even there! charged with things like deleting a group chat or helping someone find a ride or *moving a box of pamphlets*

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

on July 4 last year about a dozen people held a noise demonstration outside the Prairieland ICE facility. police showed up, escalated the situation, and a lot of shots were fired. one cop was shot and released from the hospital after a day.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

the terrorist “organization” in question? antifa, which literally just means being against fascism, and is not an organization of any kind. the government convicted people of materially supporting….a vibe. an ideology

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

first, to be clear, this prosecution was a test from the Trump administration to see if they could convict protesters of terrorism for showing up to a demonstration, and they succeeded.

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

if you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism. a quick thread on the Prairielands convictions from last week, and what they mean for the right to protest in the US:
