The NHS was ranked #1 in the world before the Tories ramped up austerity and privitisation.

The model works for the people, but big business hates it because it puts people before profit.

The NHS needs staff and funding, not more cuts and more privitisation

First test for the Republican law makers in congress. Are they going to roll over and allow "recess appointments" for someone like Gaetz to be Attorney General?

It'll quickly be time to see how much Republicans really do value American democracy and the constitution.

President-elect Donald Trump is pressing forward with his decision to put forward former Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general, despite unease on Capitol Hill about entrusting the Justice Department to a figure with limited legal experience and investigations into allegations of sexual misconduct.

There are alternatives to goodreads out there. Bookwyrm is an open source federated social network for example. And StoryGraph is an independent proprietary network gaining some traction.

We can be the change you want to see, we don't have to just put up with big corporations like Amazon.
Goodreads was acquired by Amazon in 2013, which basically means it’s owned by Jeff Bezos.

The subtle lesson? You can’t get away from them without turning yourself into a hermit.

Make choices based on your needs, not their moves. Do your best to look out for yourself and others. Live your life.

Trump’s insane Cabinet picks are meant to shock us.
Yes, he’s handing cushy jobs to his most loyal minions, but it’s more than that.
He’s prepping the nation for what’s to come. For what he’s going to do next.
With each new outrage he moves the chains for what is considered “normal”.
