City Council and pope concur: Medicare for All is a common-sense solution
Many agree that a universal, national health program is the right step. Also, taxes, Iran war, voter rights, parental responsibility, Loyola student's murder, a sad White Sox fan, Trump and hamburgers...

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

A patient told me her holiday wish this year wasn’t a vacation or a new handbag — it was simply “I hope I don’t get sick.” Her plan revelry doubled in cost, and she’s one stomach bug away from financial collapse. No one should need luck to survive December. #HealthCareForAll

Holiday wish list: ✔️ Warm home ✔️ Food on the table ✔️ Not losing health care because subsidies were slashed Cuts to health care don’t happen in a vacuum — they happen to neighbors, parents, seniors & friends Let’s fight for a season where everyone is covered #ProtectOurCoverage #M4A

My patient recently handed me a stack of unopened mail: subsidy notices, network letters, appeals he didn’t know how to file “Tell me what to do, doc.” It breaks me that so many expect doctors to also be their policy guide, caseworker, and safety net People need coverage — not paperwork. #M4A

While people are stringing lights and planning travel, thousands are opening letters saying their Medicaid benefits are ending. No one should get a cancellation notice instead of a holiday card. We need policies that protect people, not paperwork that pushes them out. #KeepUsCovered #M4A

The holidays hit especially hard when you’re rationing insulin, skipping checkups, or praying nothing goes wrong because your subsidy disappeared. Attacks on healthcare feel abstract until they hit your own kitchen table. #HealthCareJustice #M4A

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma. Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state. That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.
