This is why I am scared. My husband had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and a stroke. Our medical bills are already higher than we can handle. If the ACA is repealed they will be astronomical.

This. This is important.
Dems will be making a huge mistake if they see the obscene GOP threats to the transgender community as a "political problem." We all need to be vocal about the humanity of trans rights. A party that says nothing about this stands for nothing, period. My new column🎁 share.inquirer.com/jD9qxi
Transgender wars are a test of whether our humanity can trump focus-group politics | Will Bunch
Whether hate-filled TV ads helped elect Trump is no reason to stop fighting for the humanity of 1 million transgender Americans.

To say that am concerned about how healthcare will be affected by the incoming administration is an understatement of gargantuan proportions. My husband and I are uninsurable if pre-existing condition coverage is stripped away. #cancer #stroke #spinalfusion

How many of us when using the restroom at work, lift up a women’s skirt to see what genitalia they have?
Maybe it’s Nancy Mace who has a problem and should not be allowed to use a public restroom.

The state of book bans in the state of FL. (Yes, I’m banned there A LOT)
Last week the FLDOE quietly published its (incomplete) list of 700+ instances of censorship recorded across the state during the 23/24 SY.
According to the list, 500+ unique titles were removed. 120+ titles were removed in 2+ districts. 35+ authors had 3+ books removed.

CNN's Dana Bash on the neo-Nazis marching in Columbus: "We don‘t know what side of the aisle this comes from. I mean, typically, neo-Nazis are from the far right. You had protests from the far left at your house as a Jewish member."
