#WeNeedHealthcareToo I have #Dermatomyositis If #ACA is repealed, lifetime caps& #PreExistingConditions are a death sentence. I cost ins $500k in a good year. Lifetime cap was $1.5million prior. I’d lose ins in 3yrs. I’d be 42&die from complications. We already pay $64k a yr 1/

If you look like me and have privilege, use every ounce of it to be a PIA and stall for time. You don’t know anything so use your nosiness to skill-“why” “what’s going on” “is this a new program?” “Can I see badges. I’m just so confused&concerned” Loudly outside&share footage

[Mis Leading @FaatiTheStreet]

Never forget when they knock on your door and ask “have you seen them?” You can answer “I don’t know, sorry I can’t help you,” bc the premise of the question is a lie. They are actually asking; “can I harm this person?” and you’re cooperation determines if they can.

“They call it Know Your Rights. I call it how to escape from ice.”

Sounds like we should keep sharing information about this. Check out these know your rights resources from @the_ILRC: https://t.co/V6j0Pq5jRk

In two weeks I’ll be taking the drugs for MAiD. I’m terminal at this stage it’s too late for continuing treatment. I am trying to write and document the end and how it got here on my site. Hopefully I will have a new piece up tomorrow

It’s Eugenics in action. People like me w/rare diseases die first. Then those desperate for relief or a cure. Then basic care will dwindle to eliminate the majority of disabled folks w/o much outcry until the dying extends. Healthcare has fallen, and we’re ravaging the remains

A friend of mine has skin cancer and was about to start a clinical trial at MD Anderson after his other treatments did not work.

Trump's decision to temporarily halt funding for medical research also applies to clinical trials.

His treatment is now canceled.

🚨 🧵 There’s an unprecedented tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas that isn’t getting the attention it deserves. Meanwhile, federal health agencies are being silenced by communication restrictions. Here’s what you need to know: (1/12)👇👇

We should stop reading “The Mother Wound” since literacy sucks in the US,&everyone missed it’s about systemic oppression of all women. Read ‘The School for Good Mothers’ by Jessamine Chan. Moms are tired of bearing all responsibility for everything. We need a break here

[Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie]

Today, ICE carried out an unconstitutional raid in Newark, detaining lawful U.S. citizens, including a veteran who served our country, without a warrant. This is a flagrant violation of New Jersey's laws, our residents' rights, and the Constitution.

Full statement below:

I’m so serious.

In the UK they’re cracking down on knives after a child was stabbed by another child. In the US, as our children die from gun violence, we call for more guns.

This video is currently “under review” on TikTok. 🤨

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

A montage of Trump repeatedly bragging about banning TikTok is now surfacing online.

Can’t make this up.

“Conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and HIV/AIDS are found at high rates among the homeless population, sometimes three to six times higher than that of the general population…” During sweeps people lose medication&die

“According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, people living in shelters are more than twice as likely to have a disability compared to the general population…”We often can’t access shelters either due to meds,standing in line,&safety https://t.co/VS4MJXmHBt

One thing that I’m grateful for prioritizing was my kid traveling. She went to China for almost 2mo as a Student Ambassador. The difference in cultural values and the schools is something I could never have just told her. It’s important to see the world vs US propaganda only

[@[email protected] @Imani_Barbarin]

This is not a drill: Chinese people are learning that we fine homeless people.

I REPEAT, THEY HAVE LEARNED THE UNITED STATES FINES HOMELESS PEOPLE FOR BEING HOMELESS.

[Rhi @rhirhiarhii]

@Imani_Barbarin And technically they fine sick people for being sick

[Chris Willcox @ChrisWillcoxSTL]

@Imani_Barbarin They also fine people for passing out food and water to homeless people and cops throw away their belongings!

[Jessica @JessicaLantz1]

Just a reminder of how much we care about how little the lawmakers preventing reproductive healthcare actually care about the women and children in need. Fine someone for being homeless then charge her a fortune for giving birth is a preventable tragedy on every level

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

“I’m waiting for an ambulance. I might be going into labor. Is that okay?”

“You’re being detained because you’re unlawfully camping.”

Chilling body cam footage shows police detaining and citing a homeless woman who is in active labor.
