If you’re going to decimate our schools I expect meaningful substantive improvements in healthcare. Not spin. No more 6 weeks min to see my primary care provider and specialist referrals that go into black holes.

Dear Decent Men: We need you more than ever to speak out when you see misogyny - even and especially when it’s presented under the guise of ’just a joke’. When those in power belittle and insult women on a daily basis we need the good guys to call it out, every damn time.

It does break my heart that there are families that can’t feed their children. But I belong to society and I think we have a social responsibility to support those families and kids. Sheesh.
