Grateful for your years of service, Finn – and that the ACA helped you and your daughter get health care.
I was injured in the line of duty working as a sheriffs deputy and needed a spinal surgery. Had to accept a medical retirement at 40 yrs old. Lost my County health insurance for myself and my daughter. But no one would sell me insurance because of the injury. I had no insurance until the ACA.

Happening in North Carolina right now: A Republican who just lost a state supreme court election is using a horseshit legal theory cooked up by Republican activists to ask the Republican majority *on the same court he wants to join* to overturn his loss and make him a justice anyway
Republicans Do Not Think People Are Entitled to Elections Anymore
In North Carolina, Republican state supreme court justices will soon decide whether to overturn an election to seat a Republican who lost it.

Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚

It’s call the common good… public servants help safeguard communities.. that’s the social contract that’s taking care of all of us
Fire departments showing up is socialism. The police showing up is socialism. The National Guard showing up is socialism.
We take care of our own.
If you don’t want that.
