When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

It's my birthday today! 36 years feels like a lot these days, and I felt more than 1 year younger in 2023.
Regardless, here's hoping for a long life, a better me, and a great new year for everyone!

Appeals to hypocrisy don't work. He pleaded guilty to both charges, so he's effectively getting off scot-free. I understand the frustration, but this is a mistake.

So many posts on BlueSky these days make me want to ask support for a "I don't actually like that" button.
Good old "like" just doesn't cut it anymore, you know.

Yeah, no empathy here. You voted for a guy that is unashamedly (www.politico.eu/article/dona...) pro-Israel because of your dumb understanding of politics. Now have fun watching things get worse.

Possibly this is my own historical ignorance, but ICC arrest warrants look like a joke to me. Political statements, more than anything else. Also, not everyone who criticises Israel is an antisemite, Benny. Some people just think you are wrong.
