In the Battle of Thermopylae (480BC), a small force of Greek soldiers fought valiantly against a mighty Persian army, knowing they could never win.
Their task was to slow down the Persian advance until reinforcements across Greece could be mustered.

But it has never barred a national Medicare supplier -- even when that company has repeatedly committed fraud.

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

🧵I wrote my thesis on how Ireland repealed their constitutional ban on abortion.
What I found, is that the testimonies of women who nearly died - or stories of women who did die - or were otherwise traumatized were the most effective on changing anti-healthcare people’s minds.
