โHealing USโ is a film of loss, mvmt building and hope featuring many volunteers from

. Folks I think of as more than friends, but a healthcare justice family.
Itโs fitting that Susan Sarandon narrates the film. She is a beacon of hope herself!
I just learned that the other candidate in

I drove Susan Sarandon to the Democratic National Convention in 2016. She was so nice 2 me, bought me a soda & called me brave. That same day the DNC (acting on orders from HRCโs camp) revoked my credentials as a Bernie volunteer so I couldnโt go 2 the convention.

Yesterday I resigned from the Washington State Democratic Central Committee (WA Dems). After 5 years in this volunteer position, representing three different local party groups, I have come to the conclusion it has been the least effective use of my time as an organizer. (1/x)

Itโs paid, but I got charged 100s of dollars for an urgent care visit so the doctor could tell me my baby had died (I miscarried). My coverage was only good on pregnancy while the pregnancy was โviable.โ No baby heartbeat = no coverage.
I was a Bernie โsuper volunteer.โ I spent hundreds of hours & thousands of $ supporting him. Plus 5 years as a Dem state committee rep (b/c he encourage Dementer).
Iโm happy to say I left all that behind to support a candidate who wonโt capitulate to genociders.

Bernie's campaigns prove you cannot have a revolutionary campaign inside a counter-revolutionary party. He had victory stolen from him twice through rigged primaries and was given a token position as head of the budget committee where he could make proposals that were quickly

Interesting this person thinks Jill is in the minority. Literally every Jewish person I know, including myself, is horrified and disgusted by the genocide in Gaza.

In 2008 people like me gave Barack Obama a 60 seat majority in the Senate, control of the House AND the presidency and he used that to bail out banks and billionaires, get us into more wars, prop up the for-profit healthcare industry and finally, to get himself stinking rich.
If we passed
#MedicareForAll
instead of ACA style incrementalism which allows insurers to charge working class voters huge premiums & deductibles, Medicare for All would be so popular that Republicans would not be able to win elections on a platform to repeal it.

Another Trump presidency would be a disaster โ not only for our country, but for the world.
We will lose the fight against climate change.
Women will no longer have control over their own bodies.
