I had to document it so you’d know I’m not making it up for a bit: they’ve opened a fireworks stand in the parking lot of the urgent care. #marketing #crosspromotion #jobsecurity

"I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one." Bill Moyers Moyer's vision for (of?) America was methodically undone by Reagan and those who came after, to our collective detriment. A through line across his endeavors, an unwavering devotion to public service.

When disabled protesters in wheelchairs are arrested for voicing their opposition towards Medicaid cuts, the Constitution no longer applies. It's a matter of life and death for many of them and their 1st. Amendment Right is being denied. We cannot let this stand!🤬

Scanlon: They're flat out lying when they say they're just kicking undocumented immigrants off Medicaid because those folks were never eligible for Medicaid in the first place. The truth is Republicans know that kicking millions of Americans off of health insurance is unpopular.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
