They want to put a Black man in jail for an anti ICE protest but a white man can shoot a woman in the face and nothing happens. Folks, we’re not tired. We are just getting started!

I took a moment during my shows in San Jose and Napa this weekend to bring attention to the murder of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Even in places of comedy and laughs, it’s important to make our voices heard during these horrific times. (1/2)

Hey guess what I did? I have spent the better part of the day applying for a RT, setting up merch to sell so that the proceeds can be used to help marginalized groups of women and children especially moms. Proud to be a part of the organized gang of wine moms.

I am his constituent. I called his office to make this exact point as a public health researcher data geek. I know he has a better heart than this and he was either threatened or bribed. Wait till his Orthodox constituents (many of whom receive Medicaid) realize what just happened.

The messaging has to start right away. Advertise everything that was lost or will be lost starting next week. Also just because the cuts won't come until 2026, those Medicaid providers aren't just going to sit there and wait for the date. They will prepare now.

He's not lying when he says his constituents won't lose Healthcare or snap.
Because they won't lose it.... Until after the midterms.
Dems need to have a countdown clock starting now and make it central to their messaging.
It's X months until the Turd Sandwich bill ends your Healthcare.

These Congress fuckers get healthcare for the rest of their natural lives and they have the fucking gall and audacity to take it away from those that really need it. All of them deserve to rot in a hell worse than anyone can imagine.
