I’m a type 1 diabetic here in the states. Currently i’m on Medicaid. With the two types of insulin I need, test strips, lancets and needle tips the cost is about $1k a month if I had no insurance for the out of pocket cost.

I started to realize it was absolute crap a few years ago as our employer sponsored healthcare kept eroding (and I worked for a multi billion dollar global company), but when I moved home and got my pinko commie socialized medicine again, I was floored at the difference. I almost wept when my health card came in the…
And... in case anyone is confused about why we will ultimately need single-payer health care in this country, here it is! Employers, who currently hold the gatekeeper’s position for health insurance for folks under 65, WILL DISCRIMINATE against the potentially less-well as soon as they have the opportunity. The…
When I was a teenage girl, I dated an extremely handsome and charming man named Diego. We met over the internet, and…
I’m a high school English teacher, and I plan to punch one of my colleagues in his throat when he makes his first condescending or misogynistic (or both) comment.
I’m not working, not shopping, and wearing red, and then I’m giving a talk about what women’s marches and protests have accomplished in the past. Then leading a discussion about what we hope to accomplish now. It’s scheduled for 7pm so that women who do have to work tomorrow can still attend. I’m stoked. I just hope…
Last year, when I was invited to sing “O Canada” at the NBA All-Star Game, I was happy for the opportunity to…
The largest police union in the country endorsed Donald Trump. This is on them. When they get no coooperation from communities to solve crimes they should remember this case. The officers who stayed silent and just went along and did not speak up should remember this when the community balks at their attempts to…
I think this is meant to be more of a single act of protest - it’s different to a strike against a particular employer. If you are a member of a union and you strike, the union will formally negotiate with the employer for particular demands, which isn’t the case here. Happy to be corrected on this, but that’s my…
That’s a solid chant.
Wow. Aren’t you a horrible piece of shit. You see a woman who has lived in this country since she was 14, being deported in front of her children and all you can think about is “breaking the law”. When laws are more important than human beings, then the laws are nothing more than oppression. Don’t hide behind the…
I would also be very worried if I were in your shoes, and I am worried for my friends, relatives, neighbors and fellow citizens.
Thank you so much for that link. I’ve been wringing my hands over who to call, and what to say, and which issue to talk about. That site helped and I just was able to leave 2 voicemails about banning and the SCOTUS to one of my reps and the Dept of Homeland security. I currently live in a blue state but Im registered…
i did this today! The chap I spoke to at my local conressmans office admitted they had been hearing a lot of comments on Jay Clayton today, which was what the message was! It works! Well, it made me feel useful, so it worked in that way... whether it actually changed how my Independent member of Congress votes, who…
Angela Peoples did not come to the Women’s March on Washington to play. The 30-year-old co-director of the LGBTQ…
*ugly cry*
What a beautiful picture!
As a queer, I want to say that I fucking love our goddamn community.
With the fresh horror of the inauguration merely days away and a long, hard road ahead of all of us, members of the…
