Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

No

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Primaries for senators

That is why care has transformative power beyond health. To be truly listened to – to be recognized not as a case but as a person – can change not just how one experiences illness, but how one experiences oneself and the world. It can foster the capacity to care for others across differences, to resist hatred and violence, to build the fragile social ties upon which democracy depends. By contrast, when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself. A system that alienates people in their moments of deepest vulnerability – bankrupting them, gaslighting them, leaving them unheard – breeds despair and rage. It creates the conditions in which authoritarians gain traction.

This connection isn’t articulated often enough.

“…each step toward AI-driven medicine is also a step toward deeper, more opaque forms of data capture, surveillance and social control.”

What we lose when we surrender care to algorithms | Eric Reinhart A dangerous faith in AI is sweeping American healthcare – with consequences for the basis of society itself

“The problem is that when it is installed in a health sector that prizes efficiency, surveillance and profit extraction, AI becomes not a tool for care and community but simply another instrument for commodifying human life.”

Our School District Can Now Keep Track of Your Child with Just Three Terrible Apps Other than lawsuits, losing track of a child is every school district’s worst nightmare. We haven’t lost anyone yet, but an EdTech company has pain...

"You’ve been given an app for reluctantly volunteering to run the book fair, an app for viewing your kid’s hastily prepared report cards, and an app for lodging complaints about our apps. Now, we’ll also be tracking your child’s whereabouts on three additional apps."

It was nice to wake up and not break down sobbing from grief after an election night

Too early for final results, but we're seeing — once again — losses for conservatives in school board races in multiple states. Stay tuned.

you can win without billionaires supporting you

you can win without party leadership endorsing you

you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch

we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

What tonight means for abortion access in the last Southern state where it's fully legal cannot be overstated.

Did we do the thing?!?!?!?!!

There was a line at my local library for early voting on Friday …. Clinging to hope that was a sign that Virginia understood the assignment too

You'll see various websites tomorrow with election results in #Virginia.

VPAP.org is a long-time favorite for many and StateNavigate.org is a new one for this year.

Just make sure you have the official one from the Virginia Department of Elections open:

Restaurants are still putting PDFs of their menus on their websites 🫠😭

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Do better, 757. 🚫 🧊
