RIP to artist Lois Curtis. She had an intellectual disability and diagnosed with mental illness. She was the plaintiff in the Olmstead vs L.C. that led to a Supreme Court decision benefitting the elderly and disabled to move out of institutional care and into their own home.

Get rid of the filibuster and pass everything: healthcare, childcare, family leave, minimum wage, etc. Pass it all. Make Republicans have to try to take those things away from people instead of letting Republicans stop those things from ever happening. You’ll win every time.
