OPINION
Trump's Supreme defeat:
Will Republicans finally stop trying to cancel people's health care?

The Supreme Court has handed Republicans the perfect opportunity to lay down their weapons.

Attacking this health care law is both cruel and futile.
Andy Slavitt Opinion columnist

Former President Donald Trump’s health care legacy now includes trying and failing to take away health care coverage from millions during a pandemic. On Thursday, his relentless effort to get rid of the Affordable Care Act hit what will likely be its final dead end. The conservative Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that the plaintiffs – Republican states with the backing of Trump’s Justice department – didn’t even have standing to bring the suit in the first place.

The 2010 law has become deeply entrenched throughout public life. Over 30 million Americans are covered through it and virtually everyone benefits from one or more of the protections we have come to take for granted over the last 11 years. For years a sword hung over them as Trump tried to eliminate all of that. The court has now removed the sword and the threat.

4-year fight to cause Americans harm

Millions of Americans who are not yet covered by the law and are eligible for coverage can now get it without fear. Since President Joe Biden put in place a special enrollment period in February, more than 1.2 million Americans have already have signed up. And thanks to new provisions in the American Rescue Plan, ACA coverage is much more affordable. Now 80% of the uninsured can get coverage for $10 per month or less.

Beyond this, it’s worth considering what the effort to repeal it since its inception says about our politics. Trump spent four years clogging up all three branches of government to try to eliminate the ACA. Neither the fate of American families nor massive losses in the midterm elections nor his duty to implement the law would deter him. Neither would a global pandemic. It all turned out to be an epic failure.

An interesting question is why. Why did Trump and Republicans fight so hard to do something so plainly unpopular and harmful to millions of Americans? Especially because, as the ruling yesterday showed, the plaintiffs in this case didn’t even have standing to bring the case – in other words, they were not being harmed by the law. So why try to eliminate a law that helps some in such a deeply personal way, particularly if it causes no harm (and is budget neutral)? The Republican politics of health care and the politics of Trump are the politics of cruel indifference.

Richard Barnett, who kicked up his feet on a desk in Speaker Pelosi’s office, had a stun gun at the time.

A federal judge refused to ease up on the pre-trial restrictions of an accused U.S. Capitol rioter photographed with his foot on a desk inside Nancy Pelosi’s office to let the man buy and sell classic cars. Prosecutors called for the opposite response, asking to give him a curfew and make him report his assets.

The photograph of Richard “Bigo” Barnett gleefully kicking a foot on a desk inside Pelosi’s office instantly made him an icon of the Jan. 6th siege. For the chief judge of the District of D.C., the image showed a man who was “brazen, entitled, and dangerous.” Prosecutors zoomed in on the image to show he had a stun-gun in his pants. He also allegedly left Pelosi a note: “Nancy, Bigo was here, you biatch.”

Despite this history, Barnett was able to secure his release from jail in light of recent D.C. Circuit precedent making it harder to keep accused rioters detained before trial. Barnett has hardly kept a low profile since being released on bond. He had a birthday party at his home. Prosecutors said that local law enforcement was called to Barnett’s home, twice, and he appeared with his lawyer on Russian state television, which depicted him as a political prisoner.

Bears repeating:
The Republican politics of health care and the politics of Trump are the politics of cruel indifference.

One thing is for certain - This will be the end of Victoria's Secret. They might as well use Tank Abrams as a model.

HAPPY JUNETEENTH

Rep. Cori Bush: Juneteenth freedom should also mean safety from police violence

The original Juneteenth focused on promise of freedom from bondage and white supremacy. As we usher in new national holiday, let's expand that fight.

Cori Bush Opinion contributor

Juneteenth has always been a symbol of freedom deferred. While in January 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation promised to free enslaved Black people in some states, the news of this emancipation did not reach much of the country, and enforcement was slow and inconsistent through 1865.

It was then that Juneteenth became a holiday celebrating the resilience of the Black community in Galveston, Texas – and eventually of Black communities across America. The celebration included formerly enslaved people and their descendants, and focused on the promise of freedom from slavery, bondage and white supremacy.

Unfortunately, that dream has yet to be fully realized.

The vestiges of slavery continue to deny us reparations, liberation and freedom.

This Juneteenth, I invite you to reflect on the promise of freedom. Freedom doesn't simply mean freedom from enslavement. Freedom is an affirmative goal, it is one that promises liberation, safety and peace of mind. It is the promise of a full and prosperous life. Yet, Black communities are still denied basic human rights protections. From the moment the first slave ships landed in 1619 to present day, Black communities have been denied basic lifesaving resources, locking us into cyclical trauma and violence.

Where I’m from in St. Louis, we’re dying. Over a seven-year period ending in 2020, our city has led the nation in police killings. And last year, the city had its highest homicide rate in half a century. If we haven’t lost a loved one to violence ourselves, someone we know certainly has. We survive domestic violence, we survive carjackings, we survive shootings, we survive state violence. It’s something that we live through routinely.

It’s not just cycles of violence that stem from slavery – slavery quite literally lives on today through our system of incarceration and policing. The 13th Amendment explicitly permits slavery “as a punishment for crime.” It is no wonder then that Black people and Black communities across this country are devastated by yet another system of bondage – policing and criminalization.

To address these crises, we must first assess the root causes of violence. We must eliminate our public safety system’s instinct to criminalize and replace it with an instinct to provide care. The clearest opportunity to immediately do so is our system’s response to substance use, homelessness and behavioral and mental health crises –crises that are rooted in centuries of trauma and disinvestment.

As it stands today, armed law enforcement agents, who lack expertise in health crises, are the first to respond to a variety of health emergencies, including those resulting from substance use and mental health issues. There are serious, and sometimes deadly consequences when police are asked to make instantaneous decisions involving people experiencing crises associated with mental health or other health complications. People with untreated mental health disorders have a risk of being killed when encountering police that is 16 times higher than those without.

These lives lost are more than statistics.

They are Daniel Prude, whose brother called for help after identifying that Prude may have been in crisis. The 41-year-old man was suffocated by Rochester, New York, police.
They are Jason Moore, a man having a mental health crisis in St. Louis who was Tasered to death in the middle of the street.
They are Pamela Turner, who had a known history of paranoid schizophrenia but was fatally shot by a Houston-area officer who was aware of her mental health struggles.

The reverend (like most liberals) are insensitive to any racism that isn't aimed at blacks. As someone with an Asian wife, I have a difference of opinion.

So he can ignore Asian hate because he doesn't care.

If he cared, he wouldn't change the subject.


Must be that church of his that teaches him it is okay to hate Asians.

Asian hate is ignored because almost all of it is perpetuated by BLACKS.

And that's an inconvenient truth.

Also, someone needs to ask Cori Bush about all the black on black murders that will occur this Juneteenth in St. Louis, Chicago, etc. All the murders where law enforcement WILL NOT be involved.

Looks like Asians make him uncomfortable

Or maybe he is so blind he couldn't see the racism.

He thinks R stands for racism

while he supports actual racism

or at the very least tries to deflect

Ibram X. Kendi on anti-racism, Juneteenth, and the reckoning that wasn’t

The author of How to Be an Antiracist joined for a special episode of Vox Conversations.

By Fabiola Cineas Jun 17, 2021, 1:40pm EDT

In 2020, following the police killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd amid a pandemic, it appeared that most of America was finally choosing to take steps to rectify racial injustice.

Protests took place in major cities and small towns, white people pledged to learn how to be better allies, anti-racism books soared to the top of bestseller charts, corporations began to move dollars toward social justice causes, and lawmakers drafted legislation that would begin to bring about some change. Public opinion shifted — more people reported that they believed racism was a problem and that some funding for police departments should be redirected to community services. We called the moment a reckoning, but hope soon faded.

Last June, at the height of the protests, support for Black Lives Matter was at 67 percent among US adults but dropped to 55 percent by September, according to a Pew Research Center survey. The results were starker across racial lines: White and Hispanic people expressed the greatest decline in support — from 60 percent in June to fewer than half (45 percent) in September. By comparison, support for Black Lives Matter remained strong and mostly unchanged among Black (87 percent) and Asian American adults (69 percent).

Other researchers paint a grimmer picture: “Republicans and white people have actually become less supportive of Black Lives Matter than they were before the death of George Floyd — a trend that seems unlikely to reverse anytime soon,” political science professors Jennifer Chuddy and Hakeem Jefferson wrote in the New York Times. Now the energy that grew in 2020 is being undercut by hysteria over critical race theory, resistance to investigating the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, and the fight over so-called cancel culture.

With this in mind, it’s worth questioning whether America can ever have an anti-racist future. Is there reason for hope when any moment of progress is met with such intense backlash from those who wish to protect the status quo? What will it take for America to have a real reckoning that sparks change? And while the country favors symbolic gestures (Juneteenth is becoming a federal holiday) — what will it take to make systemic change?

I talked to historian Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist and host of the podcast Be Antiracist, about where America is now, more than one year after the start of the country’s largest protest movement. He helped me understand what it would mean to truly have a reckoning in this country and whether we can measure the impact of anti-racism books. Kendi says there’s still reason to believe that change is possible.

Do you smell their fear rising over the competing reeks of Prius new car smell, of kale, and of the armies of shambling, squatting hoboes that have come to symbolize modern liberalism? That eau d’ uh-oh is the scent of progressives realizing that maybe pushing an ideology that tells the majority of America “You stink!” is not going to lead to the sweet smell of success.

Everyone hates CRT, critical race theory, that bizarre, ridiculous, and morally illiterate hodge-podge of Marxist mumbo-jumbo blended with a healthy dose of the kind of racial hash that would make Democrat David Duke beam. Even the lib wine moms, who were so ecstatic about the recent lack of mean tweeting – ironic that the only man able to give them pleasure was Donald Trump, and he does it by not doing anything – despise this Marxist pestilence. The guys in the campaign business I talk to are giddy and often burst into spontaneous jigs of pure glee at the poll numbers they are seeing. Hey Congress, congratulations! Thanks to CRT, there’s something America hates even more than you!

Normal America is fighting back – on social media, at school board meetings, in the states, and even in Congress. People are sick of this crap, and its purveyors are baffled. They thought enlisting in the cultural lynch mob was going to get them nothing but kudos and it’s not working out that way. Even the mighty are taking hits. Secretary of Defense That Guy from Raytheon took a break from losing wars to testify before the Senate the other day only to lose there too. Former Army guy Tom Cotton read him some snippets of the works of Henry Rogers, who ridiculous people call “Ibram X. Kendi.” Ibby, as his friends probably call him, is one of the brightest lights of race hustling, which is the world’s lowest bar. The SecDef was forced to repudiate George Wallace Kendi’s position of “discrimination now, discrimination tomorrow, discrimination forever,” and then he tried to wiggle out of Cotton’s net by denying that he had even read Kendi’s slim – if not physically, then intellectually and morally – tome. Which was super-awkward because the war-losing, ship-colliding, zampolits of the brass have been ostentatiously putting this noxious trash on military reading lists.

[...]

And, of course, you can send in the clowns, like Hank Kendi or whatever his name is this week. They’re getting paid $$$$ for supervising struggle sessions where guilty white libs who never owned slaves ritually abase themselves to people who never were slaves. There’s a creepy BDSM vibe to the groveling of these people of pallor – the shame, as the great Ace of Spades has observed, is part of the kink.

Speaking of pasty submissives who take a Toobinian delight in their own humiliation, the Never Trump sissies of Cruise Ship Conservatism have anchors aweighed-in on CRT too. Apparently, True Conservatism™ not only requires that we don’t fight back against CRT but that we actively run interference for it. What would William F. Buckley do? Apparently, apologize for his privilege and commit to doing the work of tearing down the cis-patriarchal paradigm whilst standing athwart history, tearfully confessing, “I am complicit.”

While some will undoubtedly use #Juneteenth  to push their “Hate America” agenda and racial division, Juneteenth has always been a day for recognizing America as an exceptional nation:


Of course the Democrat party and racist pushers of CRT will say white people need not attend.
