They were doing a price check on his life. Getting care should never mean risking your paycheck, your home, or your future.

From the South to the North and East to West: people EVERYWHERE are declaring #NoKings. 📍Durham, NC

Independent analysts project 17 million people will lose health coverage because of this bill. Patients across this country will suffer, but we will also organize and fight back. #CutMedicaidLoseYourJob

This is an extremely dark day in a dark chapter of American history. Come 2026 midterm elections, we will be holding accountable the members who knew healthcare cuts of this magnitude would be harmful to their constituents - but voted for them anyway. #CutMedicaidLoseYourJob

Republicans betrayed their constituents. Every voter, every patient will be exploited by this country's oligarchs with the permission and blind support of GOP so-called representatives.

Republicans in Congress just voted to take healthcare away from 17 million people, and to deprive millions of families of vital food assistance. Now they're celebrating a bill that will DEVASTATE us all. But we will remember their cruelty, next November.

I will never get over how many people are working so hard to take so much away, from so many people. That dismay will fuel me as we hold every single member of the @GOP accountable for the harm and damage they voted for—to pay for tax cuts for the rich. #Shame

Nearly 17 million stripped of health coverage. Home care cut. Rural hospitals shuttered. That's what the GOP is pushing through Congress right now. Call and demand they #VoteNo on this Big Bad Bill: heroes.win/TellCongressNo

As ICE disappears our neighbors, LP leader Brad Lander has been regularly escorting immigrants to their check-ins. Today, in a continuing and troubling trend of intimidation against local officials, ICE arrested him and is currently in custody. We demand his immediate release.

The best among us, @bradlander. Heart-wrenching and courageous.

Thank you, @SenBooker.

This administration and their allies in Congress are waging a full-on attack against OUR health. From gutting Medicaid and undermining Medicare to decimating federal agencies that coordinate programs for disabled and elderly people, they are making us sicker while making themselves richer. Thank you, @SenBooker, for calling it out. We have to fight back to save our healthcare, and it's going to take every single one of us.

Just one fall out from last night's global health massacre: more than 350,000 people on HIV treatment, including nearly 10,000 children and more than 10,000 HIV-positive pregnant women. @EGPAF pedaids.org/press-release/…

We believe that patients and the providers they trust should be the ones to decide the kind of care they need. Health insurance companies have no business interfering in patient care. This shouldn’t be controversial.

I think about @AdyBarkan every single day but he’s been especially on my mind over the past two weeks. I think this moment our kids had together back in November would have made him smile his biggest smile. Happy Birthday, Ady!

This is essential reading. Thanks @AnandWrites for finding the right words as you so often are able to do. Stop the killing. Pass universal healthcare now. the.ink/p/unheard-and-…

For months I've been reporting in northern areas in the West Bank, where Palestinians provided extensive accounts of the Israeli military increasingly deploying Gaza’s war tactics, including the IDF using civilians as human shields, illegal under intl law nytimes.com/2024/11/24/wor…

Thank you for everything, Ady. We miss you.

In 2019, @AdyBarkan sat down with @KamalaHarris for a healthcare conversation. His insurance company had just denied his own claim for home care. Ady asked Harris how her policies would address access to home care and support for caregivers. And Harris had a plan. Vote like care is on the ballot, because #CareCantWait. #HarrisWalz2024

One year ago today, I lost my friend Ady Barkan 💔 Today we're releasing – for the first time – the full, uncut conversation between Ady and Kamala Harris we filmed in 2019 during the making of @NotGoingQuiet. Ten minutes of this emotional, tearful interview were released then, but the complete, 45m exchange has never been seen before now. We're publishing this footage alongside @beahero on the one-year anniversary of his passing to bring Ady's voice and legacy into this critical moment.
