The only way to save ourselves is to save each other

The only way they stay in power is by keeping us at each other’s throats instead of theirs

The most infuriating part of 68,000 people dying each year because our healthcare system denies them care is that no one is ever held accountable for those deaths.

We've not only normalized the predatory actions of the health insurance industry, we've passed laws to protect it.

the childhood trauma thing is a large part of why i was denied hrt in the early ‘00s. it sent me back in the closet for well over a decade and i didn’t actually access hrt until 2022. cruelty upon cruelty

Hey, I dunno, maybe we should focus more on increasing human intelligence and not making machines smarter. We generate our own electricity and only need about 3.7 liters of water a day to conjure galaxies, poems, songs, books, movies and great ideas like universal health care.

I will sit down and watch this movie anytime and anywhere

Murdered Insurance CEO Had Deployed an AI to Automatically Deny Benefits for Sick People Before United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was murdered, a lawsuit filed against the firm revealed just how bad its claims-denying was.

without qualification or exception, the mere act of having billions of dollars makes you a mass murderer by default. you have hoarded resources while others went without and died for it.

Adair, Iowa, had a population of 794. So, it seemed suspicious when its three-person police department asked regulators to buy 90 machine guns, including an M134 Gatling-style minigun capable of shooting up to 6,000 rounds of ammunition every minute. Federal agents later discovered Adair's police chief, Bradley Wendt, was using his position to acquire weapons and sell them for personal profit. A jury convicted Wendt earlier this year of conspiracy to defraud the United States, lying to federal law enforcement and illegal possession of a machine gun. Wendt is unapologetic and has appealed his conviction. "If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail," Wendt told CBS News just days before a federal judge sentenced him to a 5-year prison term. Wendt's crimes appear to be part of a nationwide pattern.

Biden has done worse than delivered nothing on prison reform—he’s taken steps back by being so parsimonious with pardons and clemency, doing nothing on death penalty, and overseeing expansion of federal prison system

“Y’all let me know when you’re ready to be for real.”

Reskeets aren’t endorsements, but I hear you. It’s tough to speak frankly about what is, without dousing the spark of what could be.

You know what would make cars safer? Crash dummies shaped like women!

All dummies have the proportions of the average man in 1970. The woman dummy, rarely used, is the size of a child and ONLY tested in the passenger seat.

There was a growing movement for reform in late 2019…
