Millions of Americans could lose free access to cancer screenings, blood pressure tests, and HIV prevention medication in 2026 due to a Supreme Court case rooted in #HIV stigma.

The court hears arguments next week.

Preventive care may no longer be free in 2026 because of HIV stigma − unless the Trump administration successfully defends the ACA

After a group of employers refused to provide their employees access to free HIV prevention treatment, the Supreme Court may decide whether insurers are required to fully cover preventive care.

Fedi friends…
I’m pretty sure I’m not wrong in saying there is a LOT of fear in our lives now that likely wasn’t there this time last year.

Because of 47 & Pal & the chaos, corruption, unconstitutional actions & more dismantling of gov’t services planned, many of us are living in fear & dread.

I’m posting this video as I think its principles & rationale can help ease those worries as it helped me. (It’s based in Buddhism but I promise there is NOTHING “religious” here.)

It’s 18 minutes long, and it may bring you some peace.

All of this focus on the Federal ignores the fact that 90 percent of your day to day is actually local. The shit show we're in is absolutely bottoms up, because that's where the executives and the politicians they support come from. We don't even have to organize. It's already there, it's just a pifa because it takes time and effort. We have the midterms coming not soon enough. Figure out how to get involved in that. Until then, kick some cash to the ACLU.

Harvard (with which I’ve had relatively little affiliation) has occasionally institutionally disappointed me in various ways over the years, but their strong stance against the administration’s unconscionable, fascistic bullying deserves our unqualified support and appreciation.
