In the days before Obamacare, I had friends who had to declare personal bankruptcy in their 20s because they had a disease that insurance companies considered a “preexisting condition” (i.e., they had an inherited condition that their current employer’s insurance company refused to cover).
Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans.
No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families.
Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.

A two month old baby in one of the country's immigrant concentration camps is suffering from bronchitis and was recently unresponsive.
They are refusing him care.
A baby may be killed at the hands of ICE. Will we care about this as much as a white man being murdered?

📌 Folks, you’re on social media, here is something everyone can do. Google “ICE facility being built in” and insert your state or county. If you find one, put it on blast and contact your local officials to say you oppose it. We need to protest these facilities before they open.

Thank you, @maddow.bsky.social , for spotlighting the opposition to Trump’s concentration camps being built around the country.
Many of these are for profit, profiting from cruelty and human suffering with our tax dollars.

Also - a thing I’ve been thinking about is that the Trump admin people thought of Minnesota as a lot of very nice white people who by virtue of being nice were not strong which is part of right wing ideology now
There are so many good signs that we don’t talk about enough and the neighborhood organizing in MN and the efforts against ICE abuse and the organic community care for immigrants and people at risk and the volunteer observers
