I am a water filter.

As I process the news, especially anything related to Medicaid or community-funding changes, I begin to accumulate particles of filth. The ignorance, the racism, the hatred, the glaring silence, all like little bits of dirt that get stuck in me. And then I wonder why I feel so awful, why getting angry feels so good, why even existing right now is so heavy.

Getting angry and doing something dumps the crap out of my filter. Finding other people who care dumps it out. Doing something locally does too. But mostly just seeing it, noticing and pointing at it, makes it less poisonous.

Clean out your filter however you can. The filth won't stop, but it doesn't have to choke you. #medicaid #selfcare #caregiver #community #politics

Have I Been Pwned: DentaQuest Data Breach

In May 2026, the dental benefits administrator DentaQuest was the target of a ShinyHunters "pay or leak" extortion campaign that resulted in the group publicly publishing hundreds of gigabytes of data allegedly obtained from the company. The data included 2.6M unique email addresses along with names, addresses and phone numbers. Much of the data appeared in healthcare enrollment files (ASC X12 transaction sets) with some containing Medicaid IDs, while additional data appeared in member records and related files. DentaQuest acknowledged "a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to a limited portion of our network", and advised they had contained the attack and mitigated the threat.

The Children and Families at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy operates a state-by-state enrollment tracker that identified the declines through April, and warned that enrollment drop-offs at this scale should alarm policymakers."
