I’ve been a Kaiser member since 1997 and I’ve been mostly satisfied with the care I received. I am sorely disappointed to see how they have abandoned their mental health patients as a result of this strike. It pains me to say that I will likely be changing to another provider. #NUHW #Kaiser

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose.

Both have active death threats from Iran.

All to intimidate.

This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

Beyond the fact that this is pathetic and childish, the money someone was actually paid for this nonsense came from the pockets of American taxpayers.

The plot thickens.
Reminder that Mitt Romney explicitly said the rationale behind the tiktok ban was pro Palestinian content. The renewed push last year was explicitly to help Israel conduct a genocide without scrutiny on social media.

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless.

In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a $3.7 billion dollar industry.

It all began with the Powell Memo.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

Come on KP, do the right thing. Patients are suffering.
I spoke with workers and patients over the holidays about the ‘arduous’ process of securing mental health care in Kaiser’s SoCal system & how Kaiser has stranded them without many options during the strike. Resolving these issues at the bargaining table is a matter of life & death for some patients.
'What they're offering is stabilization, not care': Kaiser strands patients in limbo as strike approaches fourth month
After months on strike, Kaiser finally agreed to meet NUHW representatives back at the bargaining table on Jan. 9. Better working conditions—and patients’ lives—are at stake.

Mark Zuckerberg scrapped fact-checking from Meta platforms. He's also added Trump ally Dana White to Meta's board and is helping fund his inauguration.

Why is Zuckerberg kissing Trump's ring?

Perhaps it's because of the FTC's antitrust lawsuit against Meta.

Follow the money.
