Canada’s loss of measles elimination status has reverberations for the Americas, the only region of the WHO that has ever achieved measles-elimination status. When even one country in a region loses measles-elimination status, the entire region loses it.

Serving shareholder profit instead of people & planet.

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

Y’all, instead of freaking ourselves out, why don’t we call MoCs AND state/national DNC and tell them to hold the line tomorrow?
(Also remember the house is still closed, and offering reasonable solutions that are clearly going to be rejected can still be good politics)

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

If you’re going to oppose extending tax credits for health insurance because the money just goes to greedy, money-grubbing insurers, then you can’t ALSO oppose universal healthcare.
Because without universal healthcare, then one way or another, the money goes to greedy, money-grubbing insurers. 🙄🙄
