This work is by no means complete. But no one 4 years ago thought that we would be saying 1 million people have had debt cancelled because they worked in public service. In 2017, 96 borrowers had debt canceled through PSLF. It was only 7k by 2021. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/u...

Thank you Governor Walz

ā€œWe see it now; the hate has shifted to the trans community. They see that as an opportunity. If youā€™re watching any sporting events right now, you see that Donald Trumpā€™s closing arguments are to demonize a group of people for being who they are,ā€ Walz said. He continued, ā€œWeā€™re out there trying to make the case that access to healthcare, a clean environment, manufacturing jobs, and keeping your local hospital open are what people are really concerned about. Theyā€™re running millions of dollars of ads demonizing folks who are just trying to live their lives.ā€

The Harris campaign hasn't made enough of it, but having a real-life member of the DFL (Democraticā€“Farmerā€“Labor Party, MN Dems) is an important step forward for Democrats. Yes - talk about rural access hospitals! It's really important! Blow my mind - let Walz go crazy for 5m on Right to Repair.

You donā€™t need a traumatic or tragic story to deserve abortion care.
