I dont know why more healthcare providers don’t take a stand.

Even the most basic government intervention, essentially subsidizing United’s profits and nominally preventing the worst of abuses, is given no quarter by the wealthy ruling class. We will never reach an equitable system for all that id be willing to participate in. 2/

This is exactly why I had stop practicing medicine taking private insurance. Spending all my time hustling and fighting dirty tricks to make sure patients got care. It still happens post ACA. It left me deeply wounded in my soul participating in this immoral profiteering. 1/

I suppose I don’t even have to ask whether ICE is required to use body cameras.

It’s amazing how they’ve kept this fresh through 15 volumes.

Radical leftist rhetoric.

It undermines our national security much more than not testing nukes could ever do, now that our enemies know we can’t get it together enough to feed ourselves.

Daylight savings times was concocted by the radical left and people think Donald Trump is too weak to do anything about it, that’s what they’re saying. Other world leaders are *laughing* at you Mr. President.

I used to dive into misinformation correction more often, but it is so, so exhausting. Dumb shit spreads so fast and you just cannot explain complex things to people without background in 300 characters.

This is all about β€œwomen should suffer in pain because fetuses are much more important” flavored with a generous helping of Not Understanding How Science Works.

Politicians should leave management of nuanced science and medicine to qualified professionals. I delivered babies for years and Tylenol is recommended because all the otc and rx alternatives have known, definite risks and the very small correlation with autism is tiny and probably not causative.

Penalty kicks decide nothing. It’s literally tossing a coin after 90+ minutes. A good tournament structure should seek to minimize PKs. The current MLS Cup maximizes opportunities for decisions made by coin flip. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I’m not glad. The rise of unrestrained corporate capitalism replacing civic institutions is concerning everywhere.

Me, listening to Exile on vinyl urgently trying to explain why it’s arguably the greatest rock record ever to my indifferent teens: β€œAll those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”

T-mobile?! Goddamn it, your service was great at a price I was willing to pay. All you had to do was not support fascism.

β€œYou know, it’s true. I really am just too awful for this position.”

Or maybe…not too awful ENOUGH.

Scientists used to have a work ethic. Our generation will never see another breakthrough like the Monster Mash.

Old school, angle grinders, ladders, and dressing up as workers in high viz. Damn I hope they get away with it.

Just some old fascist’s bejeweled asshole-hat.

A good, purely selfish reason not to keep going down this road of increasing militarism on our streets. Accidents and incompetence happen in every job.

Also everything else that’s wrong with it.

Protests build solidarity and camaraderie, and galvanize for further action.

Yes. It starts with one city and spreads. We refuse authoritarian government.
