The real issue is why is insulin still being politicized.

Insulin. For. All.

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Republicans in Congress blocked President Biden’s attempt to cut the cost of insulin to $35 per prescription per month for everyone – including hundreds of thousands of children with Type 1 diabetes.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Not people calling others “illegal” as they fondly recall their last name is spelled the way it is because their great-grandpa came to the US with the equivalent of a misspelled post-it note 🥴🥴🥴

Jackson heights, NYC🫶🏼

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

They already have!

My district is nearly 50% immigrant. We speak 100+ languages, have 2 public hospitals that treat all regardless of status/income, and still have enough left over to help states like Florida.

We know how to care for each other, and are pretty damn good at it.

[Rachel Valderrama @RachelColitz]

because ~ capitalism + idiotas = $$$$ !!!!!

[katie :D @cadykatiekaty]

If anyone knows where I can access/ purchase #dexcomg6 #dexcom sensors please message me!

@blind_girl_dre CGMs changed my life! Got my A1c from 11 to 5.6. 100% worth it. Only con: sometimes you feel like a robot with a machine constantly attached to you. Still worth it!

[Rachel Valderrama @RachelColitz]

ohhh yes !!!!!

[Rabbi Mark Asher Goodman @RabbiMarkAsherG]

In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act.

If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.

if yo mama ever fed me, let me sleep over, gave me a ride home from school/extracurricular activities, or even just comforted me, happy Mother’s Day to her.

People will know what you believe when they see what you do.

[Rachel Valderrama @RachelColitz]

Your professor destroyed a $7k medical device that is used to keep you alive. Their ableism is embarrassing. Educate. And sue.

[relationships.bsky.social @redditships]

My professor yanked my insulin pump off the table, thinking it was a phone. She broke it. Can I demand she replace it? (@legaladvice_txt) https://t.co/NEeYZI243n

[Rachel Valderrama @RachelColitz]

No !!!!!!!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Think about this. A diabetic mom in Detroit, Michigan spends upwards of $300 for one vial of insulin.

Just 7 miles away, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, a diabetic mom pays ONE TENTH of that — around $35 — for the exact same insulin.

Does that make any sense to you at all?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

New moms in Denmark: guaranteed 126 days of paid leave.
New moms in Canada: guaranteed 119 days of paid leave.
New moms in France: guaranteed 112 days of paid leave.

New moms in the United States: guaranteed ZERO days of paid leave.

We must end this international embarrassment.

[Rachel Valderrama @RachelColitz]

When I was younger, a doctor told me I wouldn’t make it to 16 because of type 1 diabetes. I’ll be diabetic 22 years next month. 🥳 celebrating with you, Dan.

[Dan Fleshler @fleshlerd]

As of today, I've lived with Type 1 diabetes for 60 years. When I was 7, I overheard a cousin say, "he'll be lucky if he makes it to 35." Not sure how much of this is due to genetic luck and how much is due to my d-management, but, astonishingly, here I am. Thanks, universe!

[Rachel Valderrama @RachelColitz]

Any #diabetics have an extra G6 #dexcom sensor? Been trying to get one from Dexcom for 3 months now. Please 🙏🏼

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

I hate how stories are framed as a "win" or "loss" for Democrats or Republicans.

Paid family leave getting killed isn't "a blow to Biden" it's a blow to parents who have to pay $2,000 a month for daycare and a blow to kids who will grow up without bonding with their parents.

When I think someone ought to be more loving, it’s usually me.

I never want to hear anyone say that a Green New Deal is too expensive ever again

@seabass_0 your kid for sure

In heaven we will feast.
