I need a John wick movie of health insurance ceos getting forcibly retired

I hope people learn the names of all of these insurance company CEOs and engage in very peaceful letter writing campaigns so that they stop ruthlessly murdering thousands of innocent Americans by denying coverage. Healthcare is a human right. We need universal healthcare now.

YASS! I love wearing bibs. I need a new pair!

To Recover, Democrats Must Disavow Their Own 'Project 2025' | Opinion Overall, the DSA stands against the freedom, prosperity and inclusivity that were once authentic cornerstones of the Democratic Party.

More red scare fearmongering about "The Socialists" from our ruling class of billionaires.

To draw a comparison between #Project2025 (which is cartoonishly evil) and the #DemocraticSocialistsOfAmerica is frankly offensive. Why must the Dems always blame others? Look @ yourselves, Dems!

Opinion | Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public’s faith in our judicial system.

President Biden proposes three reforms of the Supreme Court: 1, a Constitutional amendment specifying that presidents are not immune from prosecution for crimes committed in office; 2, an 18-year term limit for justices; and 3, a binding code of ethics for justices.

Bringing armed people into emotionally fraught environments to confront peaceful protesters is dangerous and leads to injury and death. It's why riots don't tend to actually kick off until the cops show up.

Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can flourish. They should not now. We cannot let ourselves be blinded to crime. We know from the protections afforded by the darkweb how rapidly and extensively criminals exploit such anonymity.

Turns out EU cops hate encryption too.

This quoted bit is obvious bullshit. Historically nearly everything communication was beyond the reach of law enforcement. Cops have so much more visibility into our everyday lives today than at any time in history. www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/...

Can’t stress how amazing this feed of all gift links/gift articles shared on Bluesky is. It’s largely the best of the stuff in traditional papers without the bullshit and fluff, shared by people who liked it enough to pay for it.
