The Young Lords Brought the Revolution to Public Health The group achieved victories for health care access in New York and beyond.

today in 1970 the Young Lords staged a 12-hr takeover of the Bronx's Lincoln Hospital—overcrowded, overrun by rats, called the "butcher shop" b/c medical residents trained on poor people of color

the takeover led to one of the first patients' bill of rights in history, and other wins @teenvogue.com

simplest explanation is that the court conservatives believe trump is sovereign and thus free of all limits on his authority

I learn from Threads that Pedro Pascal is being cancelled because he *checks notes* thinks Dostoevsky’s Crime & Punishment is a great book, and he is therefore spreading Russian propaganda

I think we should switch off the internet for a couple of months, just to see if it helps?

a sitting federal judge — appointed by trump of course — awarded a student for a paper that basically says dred scott was right and should have gone further

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

My socials feed is the unique intersection of Carter (President) and Carter (Doctor). We are bereaved. Also, this new medical drama said some true things about corporate healthcare. This feed is mine.

Everyone is doing well! Eldest thriving. Middlest came home to do community college here! Hurrah! Youngest doing well (plus swim!) at a nice college only about an hour away. Their seating sucks though. How are you all?

Please someone! My swim mom days are not over yet.

But for real, I would like this starter pack or any other recommended starter pack.

A truly great day!

Hello! I was here a while back but then kinda forgot to go online! 😂.
