When I was hungry, you cancelled my food stamps
when I was thirsty, you diverted chemicals into my water
when I was sick, you tripled my insurance rates
when I was naked, you raped me & blamed me because I was naked.
when I was in prison, you enslaved me to corporations
when I was a stranger with brown skin you deported me
from the lonely you took away social programs
from the elderly, you took away meals & medicine
from the workers, you took away legal protections
from the young, you took away school funding
from the victims, you took away shelter
instead of diversity, you encourage intolerance
instead of caring, you encourage isolation
instead of equity, you encourage military excess
when the 1% has ground us into the dust, taken all of our money, and let us die
for lack of insurance – who will you feed upon?

This is for real.

From Elzabeth Warren:
“I learned some scary news yesterday: the Senate Republicans are going
to try to repeal the Affordable Care Act by the end of the month.
And here’s the terrifying part: They seem to think they have the votes in the Senate to do it.
I’m not crying wolf here. I’m really worried. Health care for millions of Americans is on the line in the next few weeks. The Republicans are counting on the fact that so many terrible things are happening right now – and that everyone thinks Trumpcare is dead – that they can slip this through before we have a chance to get organized.
Sign up now to tell the Senate Republicans: We will NOT let you repeal health care for 23 million Americans.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell came out of the Republican caucus launch on Tuesday happy as a clam about their health care bill. Then Wednesday, while everyone was focused on FBI Director Comey’s written testimony, they quietly filed “Rule 14” so that the health care bill can skip all hearings and committee votes. That means Republicans could pass this thing as early as next week.
If you’re confused and wondering “what will the Senate Republicans pass?” – don’t worry, you’re not alone. I haven’t seen the Senate Republicans’ health care plan. None of my Democratic colleagues have either. We have no idea what sort of giveaways they may be promising undecided Republicans to secure their votes.
Senate Republicans have done all their deal-making behind closed doors, and we think the Republicans will only give us hours to look at their bill. Only a few hours to see all of the ways that they will gut health care for seniors, for veterans, for children, for people with disabilities – for working people across Massachusetts and around this country.
I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve never seen anything close to this. No hearings, no debate, no bill to look at. This scheme to repeal health care takes every norm of the Senate – every concept of how we work together – and just burns them to the ground.
We need to fight back – and fight back hard. Start by telling the Senate Republicans: We won’t let you repeal Americans’ health care.
Mary, we need you to share your story (again). We need you to light up the phone lines (again). We need you to talk to your FOX News-loving brother or uncle about why we need Medicaid, veterans’ care, and money to fight the opioid epidemic (again, or for the first time).
The fight for the Affordable Care Act is back – and it’s time to fight.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth ”

There’s a BIG MONEY movement afoot in Mass to unseat Senator Warren. She scares the hell out of the Rethugs.
Keep your eyes and ears open. This won’t go away easily.
