Every state should be doing this.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont says his state will purchase $1 billion of residents' medical debt for just $6.5 million. Then he will cancel it all, abolishing medical debt for 250,000 people. This is the first time a state has forgiven medical debt at a massive scale.

@blacklovedoc @OWNTV I see your show is in need of dark/brown skin women like myself. So Iām offering to be in your show to help you fix this problem.

@ERnurse86 @Olas_Truth I just made a TT about this. I had a yt coworker that had a ā Bye Feliciaā desk plate that she loved it b/c her name was Felicia. So I think itās safe to say most of them have no idea what it means. Just like most Black cultural things and AAVE.

The way rich ppl treat poor ppl like theyāre circus animals only here for their entertainment is so wild to me. And yall tried to tell me he was a āgood guyā š.
I found 100 people ages 1 thru 100 and trapped them in cubes. Then they competed in mental/physical challenges for $500,000 to see which age is the best :D

@Puff_Iya Once you find the best product for YOUR hair to be in itās natural state. Iām not talking about twits/braid outs & all that other stuff. Then it is easy. The problem is people want their hair to look like someone elseās NATURAL curl pattern.

Weāve been saying it from the beginning but yāall donāt want to listen and now youāre gonna find out the hard way.
COVID: A timeline. Feb 2020.Disabled people: COVID looks very serious and could possibly be a mass disabling event. Mar 2020.Disabled people: If we donāt take COVID seriously, this will be a mass disabling event. April 2020.Disabled people: This will be a mass disabling event.

@BEYMANll Exactly! What ppl fail to realize is you donāt get 100% of your parents DNA. You also donāt get an equal % of whatever theyāre mixed with. So your parent could be 50% Black and you not get any of that 50%. This is a yt woman. She may be creole but she aināt Black.

@TylerRoseTV @theblackbezos I actually donāt think it needs to be as bad as Ike & Tina. Children need to see healthy relationships so even if itās not abusive they should divorce and co parent. Kids seeing 2 ppl together that donāt like each other does damage as well.

Idk genocide Joe got a lil ring to it especially after the way he left disabled ppl for dead w/ how he handled Covid. To be clear this is NOT an endorsement for the other guy. I can critique Dems and still know they r the better choice of the 2 horrible options.
Just a heads up, in the coming days theyāre going to parade around Jill Biden to clean up the image of Genocide Joe.
