The Mana Source

Nothing like martial law to put not getting a piece of cardboard you wanted into perspective.

Secret Lair issues seem to be as common as ever.

Reminder that you don’t need any specific kind of artificially scarce card.

Are they cool? Sure, but don’t let this aggressive form of materialism ruin your day/week/month/year/life.

The cards you have don’t impact your value as a human.

Why Is Elon Musk Tweeting About Me at 3 A.M? What the world's richest man doesn't get about universal health care

Our health care system is one of the worst in the developed world. Medical debt is the cause of 66 percent of bankruptcies in the U.S. In Canada, the runner-up in this bleak competition, that number is 19 percent. We spend more on health care than any other wealthy country and yet have the worst outcomes. We take Ubers instead of ambulances, take fish antibiotics instead of prescriptions, and often skip medical treatment altogether because of the expected cost.

Donald Trump and the Republicans want to make this worse. By creating even more hoops for Americans to jump through just to get care that is often lackluster, by demonizing the poor, and by insisting health care is something you must earn, this administration is bragging about its own inhumanity. When I said, “Every person in the world deserves health care,” Jennings couldn’t fathom that idea. His first instinct was to blurt out, “Even illegals?” The answer is yes. If you are a person, you deserve health care, no matter where you are or who you are. No one deserves to die because they can’t afford insulin or because they’re too scared of bankruptcy to seek medical attention. If you show up at my doorstep starving or injured, I am not going to ask for papers before I help you.

One of the main reasons I’m running for Congress is because our leaders have conditioned us into thinking we don’t deserve good things, especially if we aren’t rich. But we do. You do. Every American deserves to afford housing, groceries, and health care with money left over to save and spend. We deserve to thrive, not just survive. And every single human being in every single country deserves to know that they can find the help they need on the worst day of their lives, when they are at their weakest and most vulnerable. For most Americans, this concept isn’t hard to grasp, but when it comes to Elon Musk and right-wing pundits, they simply can’t fathom having even an ounce of basic humanity.

I wrote about universal healthcare for @newrepublic.com and why everyone deserves healthcare, regardless of your income or your papers: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

"No one is coming to save us," must NOT be a nihilistic aphorism, but a demand for YOU to save yourself, your community, your class, & the whole of the Earth's wretched.

Good on you for getting out on the street. Now find those organizing against fascism & build the alternative.

Today is a good day to let someone know how much they mean to you.

We’re not here very long. Letting someone know you care can make their entire day/week/month/year/life.

Be kind and reach out. Please.

Digital muscle memory is fascinating.

Wait a second. Are there no ads here?

I came here because of obvious reasons, but also NO ADS?! WHAT?!

I love this place. I’m way too late to this.

Omg

I’m officially moving over here. Going to be way more active than I am/was on Twitter. <3
