My co-parent was dx'd with stg 4 pancreatic cancer (29Dec24) and now his health insurance (20+yrs of premiums) is denying a PET scan and biopsy. "They just want me to die. Just die. Just die." He works for a hospital.

@MorePerfectUS Industry funded studies need to be banned, be it food or pharma. Big (whatever) has been writing the policy standards from the start - at the core, it's the corrupting influence of money in politics. Publicly funded elections and studies are essential for quality policy.
@ZeynabDay@truthtotweet National orgs may find you an asset in ways locals don't - maybe Poor People's Campaign ACLU, is looking to hire a comms person, etc, DM me to open the few doors I have.
@ZeynabDay@truthtotweet Create a fundraiser for the payoff total of your car, 6mo of insurance, the rent you're behind on, and the next 6mo of rent. 1st priority: pay off car, you can live in it, today connect with homelessness response system, 211(?), eviction prevention, Continuum of Care
@ZeynabDay@truthtotweet You don't qualify for homelessness services until you're literally homeless, but will have a diversion conversation with you, point you to a lottery for eviction prevention funds, temp work via diversion programs may be easier to get. Me: homeless advocate WA @NationalHomeles
@physicsgeek 3rd grade, 8yrs old, teacher rolled the TV into the classroom - we were so excited. Devastation hit quick. Our teacher had applied, but was too chunky - he was a student favorite and can't imagine what it would have been to lose him. It was my friend's bday and 4 days after mine.
@luqmannation1@ANTICONQUISTA The first one in my area had the location changed because organizers heard City Council had something going on in the original spot and didn't want to interfere or disrupt their event. Ffs
A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.
ICE showed up in Vermont and theyโre just as aggressive as they were in Minneapolis. Theyโre ramming into vehicles & trying to blame it on legal observers like before! Theyโre also snatching up protesters and throwing them to the ground.This has to stop now!
I was just reminding a co-worker why Obama wasn't someone I celebrate. This was only one of my reasons. Great timing, sent him this link to reinforce my position.
Hillary Clinton:
More people were deported under my husband and Barack Obama without killing American citizens and without putting children into detention camps than were in the first Trump term or this first year of Trump's second term.

Roger Sweet, the creator of He-Man, is suffering from dementia and doctors have recommended a specialized care facility that his wife cannot afford. We fans believe you have made millions in profit from the character, which allows you to help him.
@ivehaditpodcast @davidsirota I heard you went off like this and followed it up with "I like Pritzker" for 2028 - you're still stuck in the same lib paradigm, but keep going, it's been great to see you - stop pretending that the Dem Party is more than a corporation funded by the same donors as the Repub Corp.
