No jump shots. No ferns. No memes. Not this time. I’m going to give it to you straight: If you need health insurance for 2019, the deadline to get covered is December 15. Go to HealthCare.gov today and pass this on — you just might save a life.

No Mama should have to endure the agony of being forcibly separated from their children. We stand in solidarity with all of the families + organizers on the frontlines of this fight. We must all contribute our voices to bringing this inhumanity to an end. #KeepFamilesTogether
