@CJPaloma@mstdn.social I did a little research. Turns out, NM backfilled basically all of the expiring federal ACA low and middle income premium subsidies, and was the only state to do so. I guess having a massive budget surplus is good for something!

@ArchaeoIain@archaeo.social I’m not taking sides here. It’s just that I’ve noticed that activists on both sides of the spectrum talk about safety when they are ascendant, and about freedom of speech when they aren’t. The hypocrisy is bipartisan (in American terminology) and either unconscious or shameless.
Honestly, #quake3 arena is still pretty fun.

@CJPaloma@mstdn.social Also, it looks like NM was very aggressive about transitioning people who lost medicaid coverage (again, reduced federal subsidies) onto marketplace plans. It looks like someone in Santa Fe is doing their job.

@ArchaeoIain@archaeo.social ironically, that same author was calling for a pro-Israel author to be disinvited from the same festival just two years ago.
“Two years ago, Abdel-Fattah signed a letter urging the festival board to cancel its invitation to New York Times author Thomas Friedman to the 2024 AWW, because of comments he had made about the Middle East”
