Any conservatives going nuts that Zohran Mamdani wants to provide *free* and *universal* snow plowing or are they all just picking and choosing which "communism" they like and which "communism" they bigotedly and greedily oppose?

Most podcasts are awful, this one is fantastic, and this episode was another one that got me thinking, resonated at the soul level, and was just enjoyable. Check it out. Learn about Berrigan and be inspired to, uhh, live a life that is actually in line with your beliefs.

Musk stopped the arrest of child predator Donald Trump by helping get him back in power, so yes, we agree he is pure evil.

Whether it's measles and anything else, you and your loved ones dying needlessly is the "cost of doing business" to rightwing, anti-public health political forces.
Senior CDC official: Loss of measles elimination status in U.S. would be ‘cost of doing business’
The principal deputy director of the CDC said he would not view the loss of the United States' measles elimination status as a significant event.

Seems like many of the things Maduro is accused of Trump has actually done.

Can you imagine if another nation entered the US and kidnapped Trump?

US imperialism, the international "order," nation-states in general, authoritarians - they're all garbage. Humanity deserves better.

A story! Most of the 7 hours of canvassing I did today was educating people about when they could vote and celebrating the people voting for Zohran (yay to our amazing pep squad! we had a cow bell! we got cars honking for voters! so much fun!). But most meaningful was...

Mobilizing voters for Zohran and telling people opposed to him to at least not vote for Cuomo. If you’re in New York City, and you can volunteer in the next few days, do it!

While canvassing we've found many students don't know they're eligible to register here. So here's a PSA we should all share with students we know:

1) If your home is NJ or VA, sure, vote there this year!

2) Otherwise, register here for 2025 and you can register back in your home state for 2026.

David Adler, on Yom Kippur from the Global Sumud Flotilla, before he was detained by Israel:
From the #gazaflotilla, David Adler writes that “we are approaching interception at the onset of Yom Kippur—our annual day of atonement—which calls on us to reflect on our sins, and what can be done to repair them in the spirit of tikkun olam.”
From the Gaza Flotilla: “I’m Here Because My Jewish Heritage Demands It”
I hope that fellow Jews will join me in redefining their approach to atonement and move toward courageous action to put an end to this horrific genocide.

It is wild to me as a primary care doctor that for concierge medicine and direct primary care practices, panel sizes are 200-600, while for the rest of people it's 1600-2000.
