FYI, the amount that the Fed just injected almost covers all student loan debt in the US.
There is absolutely NO excuse for not pausing student debt collections, planning for mortgage &rent relief, etc.
We need to care for working people as much as we care for the stock market.
Want to know one major reason why South Korea has had stellar rapid response and quickly produced & scaled up to 10k+ tests/day?
They have a single payer, #MedicareForAll system.
We don’t.
Please remember why it’s so important for us to fight for healthcare as a human right.
I live in Seattle, I have all symptoms of COVID-19 and have a history of chronic bronchitis.
Since I work in a physical therapy clinic with many 65+ patients and those with chronic illnesses, I decided to be responsible and go to get tested. This is how that went.
To defeat Trump, it is going to take progressive, mass-movement politics that expands the electorate and fights for working-class & marginalized people.

If you can vote, show up today for those who can't—
The disenfranchised, who deserve their rights restored.
The undocumented, who deserve a path to citizenship.
Our kids, who deserve a healthy and habitable planet.
My husband & I have been raising kids for 27 years. Our eldest came to us when he was almost 3. His mom OD’d & his dad went to jail. There was no one to take care of this little boy, so we did. When you discriminate against LGBTQ couples, you deprive kids like mine of good homes.
Here it is, what Bernie will do, easily explainable to friends & family —including how it’ll be paid for — all based on human decency, compassion, fairness & common sense. This is the America we want to live in. Why wait any longer? Please share.

I used to work in the food industry.
I can’t tell you how many times the people who handle your food - who are already overworked & underpaid - show up sick to work because our country refuses to guarantee healthcare or paid sick leave.
We need #MedicareForAll.
The audience at the debate — tickets to get in cost up to $3,200. No surprise to see Bloomberg get some cheers. Is there any joy in watching this debate?

Trump's budget is one of his cruelest proposals yet. It would:
— Cut $850,000,000,000 from Medicare
— Cut $270,000,000,000 from Medicaid
— Cut $30,000,000,000 from Social Security
Swing voters, if you're listening: Take note of where Trump's priorities lie.
