The thought of Medicaid funding getting cut is nauseating. I have a young daughter who relies on Medicaid for her complex conditions. She's had 15 surgeries in the last two years, and her quality of life has improved immensely . Medicaid did that! It gave her a future and I'm forever indebted

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?
I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

It's about time. Though the amount offered is too small
The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.
Tulsa announces reparations for the 1921 ‘Black Wall Street’ massacre
It took decades of research by historians and journalists — and reports by state and federal commissions — to uncover the violence that claimed more than 300 Black lives.

I'm tired and I've pulled back from social media this week. It's easy to feel frenzied during this time. Instead I've gone on more walks, listened to podcasts, and spent time with friends. It's been rejuvenating. But there's still so much work to do and I'm here for it. #democracy

House Republicans push to sell hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in the West
The plan would sell thousands of acres of public lands in the two states, and calls for some of the parcels to be considered for affordable housing projects. It's now part of Trump's big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts that is moving through Congress
