We hold these truths to be self-evident.We’re the cure for hatred caused by despair.We’re the good morning of a bus driver who remembers our name,the tattooed man who gives up his seat on the subway.We’re every door held open w a smile when we look into each other’s eyes the way we behold the moon.

⚡ Amid reports that the TSA is sharing passenger information with ICE, KFF’s Shannon Schumacher looks at recent polling data that shows 3 in 10 immigrants are already avoiding travel due to immigration-related fears. #QuickTake on.kff.org/3YAlkQd

Quote from Shannon Schumacher, KFF Senior Survey Analyst, Public Opinion & Survey Research. It says, “Our recent survey found that 27% of immigrants said they or a family member have avoided traveling this year due to concerns about drawing attention to someone’s immigration status... Amid this news about TSA, immigrants’ avoidance of travel will likely continue, as will their avoidance of other activities outside the home, which may have further negative repercussions for their health and well-being.”

It’s really simple… - Cap all political donations - Ban foreign donations - Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties - No titles, honours or peerages for donors - No govt contracts for donors - Publish every donation/lobby meeting …that’ll do it.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

#care should be in your #community, whether at home or in a #carehome. People shouldn't be priced out of the community that nurtured them by a failing #socialcare system. People should continue to be supported by those who know them best - family, GP, chaplain etc.

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
