Feminist. She/her. Philadelphian.
I investigate cases involving the catastrophic injury & death of working people. How a society treats those who do its work shows how good it is. No one should be permanently injured or killed making a living.

We need a government that prioritizes dignified safe work that pays a decent wage.
Everyone should be able to be safe & healthy- regardless of what work they do.We need construction workers, health care workers,people who pick up the trash & who work in restaurants.We should respect their importance

...and despite this rambling gibberish, the GOP continues to do nothing to stop this lunatic...
Trump: "They're finding money in our country now that they never knew existed. The other day -- $30b. Where did it come from? I said, 'Why don't you check the tariffs shelf?' They said, 'Sir, that tariff hasn't started yet.' I said, 'No, it started 2 months ago.' They call back- 'sir, you're right'"

This is one of those things that touches so many other, interconnected things.
Access to healthcare, esp. mental healthcare, is class-based. As is education. As are the various levers some parents pull for their kiddos, to try to get thrm ahead.
Even so, that's an oversimplistic view of this.

Roger Marshall on the GOP healthcare plan: "We do need some type of reinsurance pool to take care of the high risk people. We would like to have association healthcare plans so Amazon or Costco, someone like that, could sell health plans across state plans."

Trump is using pardons in the same way he has used other parts of his public office: not as a demonstration of reasoned mercy, but as an opportunity to extract benefits for himself, his family or supporters.
Call it what it is: corruption.

I’d rather have the Somali community than the current administration that is actively tearing our communities and country apart. They contribute nothing, only take what is not theirs to take. How pitiful a life they all lead, devoid of love and compassion.

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.
