If you work in the healthcare industry, please remember who you're there to serve – your patients. Watch, learn, and repost.
🏥🚨🏥 Healthcare workers: Patient’s rights are being violated. A lot of people are adverse to standing up to “authority,” but we have codes of ethics - each of our professions do. Rise up! 1/2

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages.

But he loves you, MAGA. That’s why he’s building that ballroom for you.

American democracy has always reflected the struggle between humanity's highest and lowest natures.

Democracy in action, Illinois.

Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trump’s takeover of our democracy.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
