ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...
Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

The only way to see the US as a historically white country is if you pretend Indigenous Americans don't exist and you ignore the fact that African Americans have been in this country longer than most of its white people.
The way US history is taught from k-12 affirms the lie of white supremacy.

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him.
they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

Dictatorships often isolate their own countries from the world, and this move by the US to discourage foreign visitors should be viewed in that light.
They will continue to escalate. I expect they will eventually increase barriers to Americans travelling outwards as well.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

I agree. How do we get Denocratic leadership to jam things up? I’m frustrated we weren’t better prepared because it was literally all in Project 2025.

Years ago, I was driving between Americus and Plains, Georgia, when a PSA came on the radio. Jimmy Carter was letting people know about adult education classes from the Plains Community Center and Southwestern Georgia Technical Institute. I love him so much.

It seems we are already losing sight of the fact that a handful of billionaires effectively turned our information ecosystem into a Superfund site, no one knows how to clean up the mess, and simply telling the truth and hoping people find it is woefully insufficient

I’m putting together a list of how to respond to authoritarianism, among other things, for my friends on Facebook who are despondent.
Most of them are middle aged white women, so they have some privilege and want to use it.

I’m going to go teach English at our local Latino Community Association like I do every Wednesday night, and I can’t help but wonder if these classes will be continuing in January, if it will be safe for my students to meet.
But I’m going to keep showing up.
