My mother told me she couldn't afford not to choose her diabetes meds over her heart meds. 2 mths later, at age 56, she died of a heart attack. Obamacare (Romneycare) didn't help her. Warren's $500 a mth cap on Prs. drugs would not have saved her. #BernieYellsForUs#Bernie2020
The fucked up thing is in Mental health professions we don't even use Trigger/triggered in front of clients anymore. Assholes ruined the term and so people who actually needed it feel like you're making fun of them if you use it as it was clinically intended.

Choice plans are merely a “choice” of which corporation profits off our crisis.
Healthcare is a right. It’s unconscionable that insurance companies choose who lives & dies.
It is disappointing to see many pundits obsessing over whether one candidate was deferential enough to another, while this crucial moment is barely being discussed.
“Civility” is too often used as a dog whistle for tone policing, while concerning moments like these get a pass.
The problem with racist, sexist, and homophobic jokes being framed as "edgy" comedy is that it's actually some of the oldest, worn out, hackiest comedy. Like, these angles are not exactly *fresh*.
So hey - if you're gonna like it, at least cite an accurate reason.
My bf accused me of being a hoarder. Because my book collection. You don't date an English and creative writing graduate without realizing theyre gonna want to read a lot. Don't be jealous of my books m8
To clarify: Rahm Emanuel once mailed the body of a dead, decomposing fish to bully a Dem he disliked.

Now he’s an investment banker & on TV. And all this is seen as normal.
