“This culture of repression leads to medical settings, given how disempowered patients are to protect themselves, being the place where coerced infection is perhaps most rampant”
No one should have to choose between care & Covid
But healthcare workers are denying the risk & patients pay the price

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

The headline they used for this story is interesting. So if a celebrity gets Covid they are concerned, Yet the majority of the public thinks Covid is over. You can not have it both ways, Covid is not Over.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Many people don't realise how climate change is already - not in the future - affecting our lives. And it's doing so in ways that, once our eyes are opened, we can notice!

Anybody else remember in the early 2,000's when can openers and cans didn't match up right? When even brand new can openers would foul out and leave empty uncut gaps on the lid of the can.
What was up with that?

What if we had Legalcare For All? Where everyone had access to lawyers. Not just public defenders but like for labor disputes, wrongful arrests, civil rights violations, elder law, legal contracts, wills and end of life stuff etc.
Is that a thing? Could it be a thing?

In three days we won't have money for heating fuel, feed, or groceries. We're basically fucked. I need a goal of $2000 by the end of November, about $500 of that needs to be immediate, and we've never made a goal before.
Please help.
