Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

"PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE"

I am a tad obsessed. I simultaneously have a thousand questions about this, and also, I already understand it completely and wholeheartedly.

Hey friends! I lost complete access to my phone. I have a working phone again now, but I lost access to some stuff permanently. If you sent me a Signal, WhatsApp, or text message in the past 3 days (Thu 11/06 to Sun 11/09), I did not receive it and I have no way of receiving it ever. Please resend?

I just laughed so hard I think I hurt myself. Also, I scared my cats. Gracias @juansaaa.com

“Without #Medicaid, children like mine don’t get to have a life — don’t get to have quality of life, but don’t get to have a life. If she doesn’t have the support she needs, she’s not medically safe,” — @elenahung.bsky.social virginiaindependentnews.com/health-care/...

*timeline cleanse* I can't get enough of how good autumn looks and feels... 🍂 #NatureTherapy

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS. The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

Hot damn, that game was quite a ride.

Let's scrap Lean In. The career advice book I want to write for the women: You, Not Them. Working your ass off? Do it for you, not them. Standing up for yourself? GOOD. Do it for your dignity, not their approval. You can't guarantee you'll impress anyone else. Impress yourself.

Those are my emotional support exclamation marks in every email I send.

“The long history of trying to ‘cure’ or eliminate autism has been a history of terrible abuse and dangerous sham treatments." I spoke to @autisticadvocacy.org's Greg Robinson and @drstevenkapp.bsky.social about the awful autism presser yesterday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It's me. I am Claudia. 🫠

“Autistic ppl are a natural part of the human experience & society needs to affirm the value of ppl—even with significant disabilities. I don’t think eugenics is ethical or warranted in science or research.” @drstevenkapp.bsky.social to @juliametraux.bsky.social: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Tylenol does not cause autism. Autistic kids do not need to be cured. Okay thanks bye.

No Donald, Chicago is not your war zone

Nature therapy for the win. Again.

Sun rising over hour 57 of our SIXTY hour Protect Medicaid Vigil. It’s been an honor & privilege to pull this event together with our incredible team & partners. I am exhausted, emboldened and so damn proud of the power we are showing as we hold those who cut Medicaid accountable.

Whether in the middle of the night or in broad daylight, we are again sharing Medicaid stories and bearing witness to what this lifesaving program means to millions across the country. Forever grateful for and inspired by @nicolejorwic.bsky.social and her fight to #ProtectMedicaid for all of us.

Millions of people will lose access to life-saving care due to the Medicaid cuts. This is a humanitarian crisis in the making. Congress needs to act now and repeal the cuts to prevent this disaster. #MedicaidCutsKill

At a 60 hr vigil for Medicaid. The candles represent the over 800,000 people who could lose Medicaid. Congress' reconciliation bill will likely result in almost $1 trillion being stolen. And all to allow billionaires and millionaires to continue to steal money from the most vulnerable.

There's nothing more healing and more empowering right now than to be in community together. Enormously grateful to spend my time and my heart with those fighting the good fight to #ProtectMedicaid. 💪🏼❤️

Andrea Gibson is my favorite poet in the whole wide world and one of my favorite humans. I credit so much of my healing in the past several years to Andrea; they taught me how to fall in love with my life again. May we all live our days such that our final words are “I fucking loved my life.”

Our kids deserve so much better than this.

Tom Paine: in monarchies the king is the law, but in the free societies the law is king. Wishing everyone an exuberant and free Fourth of July. Together we fight for a more perfect union.

Press on 💞

When I think about families like mine, families with kids with complex medical needs and disabilities, there isn’t a choice to give up.” @elenahung.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/juli...

"An absolute moral failure." Around one in three disabled people are on Medicaid. I spoke to disability advocates about how devastated they are that the House passed the budget bill that will slash close to a trillion from Medicaid at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

OUR WORK IS NOT DONE Little Lobbyists will keep fighting for medically complex and disabled children in the states. We will fight to roll back these disastrous cuts to #Medicaid. We will confront those who voted to take healthcare away from millions of us. Please support our work ⬇️
