James Van Der Beek, who starred in the teen drama series "Dawson’s Creek," has died at 48
Poor and impacted people need access to affordable if not free healthcare, so we need UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE yesterday. Medical debt is detrimental to those in need on top of the illness or injury itself.

Marylanders and non-Marylanders alike, we need to oust trump pleaser Andy Harris from Congress, so please follow and promote @schwartzforcongress.com !
No wonder Rep. Harris (MD-1) has been silent on the MURDER of Alex Pretti and the government induced chaos in MN. As the White House sees their cruel policies failing, the so-called “Freedom Caucus” is doubling down on treading on Americans by calling for the Insurrection Act #flipthehouse 🇺🇸

View Askew Heaven got too big when Shannen Doherty passed, & it's now too too big w/the passing of James Van Der Beek. These things hurt the social soul, but it instills a reality shock in people like myself as I'm 48. The Dawson's Creek theme holds more gravity 3 decades later. #IDontWantToWait

There should be no shame for any disease or disorder we have no control over, yet the people with broken souls always shame those with broken bodies for whatever reason. Pain is pain, spiritual or physical, and we must lift up empathy over vitriol!
Part of that comes in funding for caregivers!

All of this a reverse of the US wooing Nazi scientists post-WWII, allowing for decades of stewing until we've come to this moment, when fascists have taken over the federal government, forcing legitimate scientists not Europe.
They buried the lede deeply here. Drops in the bucket.

I need to ask other progressives a favor: Please join me in being better at not jumping on the immediate reposting/sharing of emotionally-triggering news and memes. We need to be better than others in not spreading dis/misinformation, albeit it's unintentional on our part.
