hanukkah happening at what is basically (in the northern hemisphere) the darkest, coldest time of year is such a blessing.
it’s a holiday that says “perhaps you’d feel better with some light and warmth and a nice fried potato situation?” and it’s entirely correct, all of those things DO help!

Call your reps. Yes, even your Republican reps. Tell them to vote to extend ACA subsidies.
Breaking news: Moderate House Republicans join Democrats to force a vote on ACA subsidies, which are likely to expire.
Speaker Mike Johnson had refused to allow a vote, provoking the strongest rebellion among Republicans from swing districts to date.

The Senate has already rejected the plan, so the subsidies are still virtually certain to expire at the end of this year.

I am aware of one woman in the New Orleans area who had an unplanned home birth because she did not want to go to the hospital. I can't imagine how scary that was.
A chilling account of what stress from ICE raids does to the pregnant body: high blood pressure, disrupted sleep, chest pains, depression. And when immigrants fear going outside, they skip prenatal appts & go untreated. OBs are worried: "These policies are having very deep effects on our patients.”
For months, I've been talking to providers and researchers across the country to understand how the Trump administration's immigration policies are impacting reproductive health. The story is out today in @rewirenewsgroup.com. I hope you'll give it a read:

List of senators who value political games over human and civil rights and respecting the humanity of all people:
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).
