The next fascist will be smarter and better looking and more polite. Our job is not to wait for them to run for office and beat them, but to enact systemic change that makes them unviable.
Your daily reminder that the insulin I’ve used for 24 years, Humalog, has gone from $21 a vial to $275 a vial with no changes to the insulin or even the packaging. That’s a 1200% increase on a hormone every human requires to live, but my body can’t make. I die in 48 hours w/o it

It would've cost the typical American over $100,000 to receive the same care Trump received for free at Walter Reed. In the richest country on earth, every American should be able to receive the same quality health care as Trump. Health care is a human right, not a privilege.

Pres Trump is insisting people should not be afraid & U.S. has the best medicines in the world.
Note: The president has access to the best medical care & best medicines. Many Americans don't have that type of access. More than 200K have died before a final approved treatment.
