Millions have lost their jobs. They should not lose their healthcare. Our party has been for MedicareForAll since FDR & Truman. It was stripped from our platform in 1980. I stand with all of the activists who believe that our party must stand for extending Medicare to everyone.
Unmarked federal agents in combat gear are pulling protesters off the street and jailing them without charge. That is what a police state is all about. Now is the time to defend our Constitution. Now is the time to come together and defeat Trump's authoritarian policies.

Democrats be like “I hear you, and I understand why you’re upset. Here’s how we’re going to do nothing to address your concerns. The orange man is bad, and you have nowhere else to go. Now, would you like a hug? No free healthcare but we offer free hugs here 🥺”
