Thanks so much for posting this one Bleeding Heartland ! Its important to remember that the ACA isnt the solution, it's a stop-gap. Reform healthcare now!

open.substack.com/pub/jasonbenel… We don't need to find new ways to shore up for-profit insurance companies. We need to do away with them as the primary source of healthcare to actually save lives and make the system better for more Americans.

open.substack.com/pub/jasonbenel… A day late after the holiday but I think a piece well worth reading. Its about what - or who - I'm thankful for. Check it out and see if you have the same conclusions I do.

open.substack.com/pub/jasonbenel… RFRA laws make us LESS free, not more. These are just special privilege carve outs for religion that help no one except religious institutions avoid adhering to laws. Its bad all the way around.

Jason Benell: The gang that needs to be disposed of isn’t groups of brown people seeking asylum, it isn’t immigrants or day laborers, it’s the organized federal entity that is now openly murdering and terrorizing the U.S. population. bleedingheartland.com/2026/01/08/the…

open.substack.com/pub/jasonbenel… This week's regularly scheduled piece is about the environment and why it seems to go unfixed. I think its because we deep down know its fixable and we're just waiting for a certain generaton to go away so we can do it. That wont work, we need to do it now
