For over 150 years, birthright citizenship has been a fundamental right for everyone in our country.

When we take our case to the Supreme Court, we'll have the Constitution, federal law, and the court's own precedent on our side.

Over a hundred years ago on August 25, 1925, Black sleeping car porters, hoping to form a union at the Pullman company, packed the Elks Hall in Harlem. Company spies were probably in the audience as well.

The $277 million Elon spent to elect Donald Trump was less than 1/10th of 1% of his wealth at the time. If he becomes a trillionaire, imagine how much destruction he'll unleash on the world. Americans are fed up, and it's up to us to stop him. #NoTrillionaires #teslatakedown

Some Md offices have agreements with area they do buisnes in.
Example if theirs an emergency on street or same building they will assist to stabilize. Car accident or someone has a heart attack in front of office.
After 911 you can see that might be a good idea.

To prevent people dying from drugs , alcohol on street. Think aids was already a thing. They did not know how spread for years. How to treatOr how Would not want people dying on streets. Possibly contaminating others.
Think was only thing Reagan did that I liked.

He was near veterans hospital. Not a veteran. Example, also laws where made that maybe if he had gone to veteran’s hospital (not a veteran). They would have treated him. Then transferred to other md place. Also was to prevent people dying in streets. More humain.

@stephruhle.bsky.social
I think the reason why hospitals treat everyone. Please verify.
Reagan signed the laws. A guy in Brooklyn died on steps of a hospital.
Would not treat him because he did not have insurance.
Think it was a heart attack. Had he been treated he would have lived
