NYU Film alum, artist,❤️ my rescue pup, writing, tango dancing, 3D printing. Double lung transplant 12/17/20 for cystic fibrosis. ♻️🫁 Cancer survivor

It’s a go! My double lung transplant is starting tonight. Follow my friend @DaWezl for updates my mom will share with her.
This is me! After 3 years on oxygen, 9 nebulizer treatments a day, IV antibiotics for weeks at a time, dozens of pills, airway clearance, pulmonary rehab, and now only 20% lung function, I finally have good news: ⬇️ #cysticfibrosis #CLT #NC

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.
nbcnews.com
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

I’m really struggling to breathe today. No appetite. My #lungtransplant coordinator talked to me about end of life stuff. It sounds like my suffering will increase until they finally sedate me to get through the final days. How close am I to that? They can’t predict.

48% of SNAP recipients work full time 39% of SNAP recipients are children. Stop saying you’re a Christian if you want it taken away.
@waltermasterson Yeah it’s called a job. We all have to work them. I don’t wanna hear anything about not being able to work either. My wife has five different autoimmune diseases and she still runs 14 stores in her district. 9 billion a month is way overboard.

@CrisAZelaya When people talk about SNAP benefits the conservatives all claim their tax dollars aren’t supposed to cover this and churches will But now when someone asks churches to cover it, suddenly the goalposts shift and you have to be a church member with a history of tithing 🙄

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: @SenatorBaldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

It's worth noting that one reason Carnegie built so many libraries is because he had trouble finding highly skilled, educated workers and sought improve the knowledge of the working class, while today's moguls actively seek to dismantle education and destroy literacy.

@cnnbrk I think it is time for SCOTUS to remind Trump that they are not his get out of jail card for every fucking thing that he is guilty of. Trump was not immune from prosecution for these civil charges.

This is how you actually kill the Affordable Care Act. For 15 years the Republicans haven’t been able to come up with an alternative so they’re just going to let it choke to death and then claim it was inevitable. The pain and suffering is the point.

$10,000 bonuses for 20,000 workers but we don’t have money for SNAP 🤷🏻♀️
Trump is now threatening to dock the backpay of air traffic controllers who don't return to work during the shutdown and offers $10k bonuses to those who do. Since Friday 40 airports have reduced flight traffic at the direction of the FAA.

Link to the Islamic Center of Charlotte, the mosque that not only said “we will help you” but which formula do you need? And for those churches saying they only help “members”, your community doesn’t end at the church door. Jesus would NOT approve! https://t.co/XqlitdJ12S

🔔Would your church provide 1 can of formula for a hungry baby in desperate need? Over 20 churches said NO. 1 mosque said YES. That mosque is right here in Charlotte, NC! The Islamic Center of Charlotte (Link on next post)
A woman on TikTok called churches asking for help feeding her 9-month-old baby. • Mosques: 100% offered help • Buddhist Temples: 100% offered help. • Christian Churches: 27% offered help. Only 9 of 33 Christian churches said yes—and all 9 were predominantly Black

“fresh paint on rotten wood.” —Republican Senator on ACA subsidies. Hope he remembers that in the midterms as he watches a blue wave!
Asked what he expects to happen when lawmakers vote on health care in December, Kennedy says: “I don't think there's any appetite among Republicans to just extend the status quo.” “I think most of them believe that extending the status quo is putting fresh paint on rotten wood.”
