Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Reports that Palestine Action activists on hunger strike have been hospitalised due to seriously deteriorating health send chills down the spine.
The Government should agree to meet their representatives whilst prosecutors must take steps to end this excessively lengthy pre-trial detention.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

Dissent against a genocidal war in Gaza is not merely discouraged but criminalized, while political intimidation and extortion directed at major institutions, especially higher education, are recast as the new language of governance.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

There is a certain kind of liberal brain that has begun to thoroughly white wash the Iraq war because otherwise any liberal under the boomer generation would have to start to reckon with the fact that the US has been a horrifying war crime monster for nearly half their life.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, a veteran, or identified who I was. They ignored everything I said. They just broke my window and dragged me out. I let them know I was a veteran, I wasn't doing anything wrong, just trying to get to work.

People are getting walked like a dog by the authoritarian media apparatus in this country and they don’t even understand it
It’s driving me nuts that the Trump admin shifted the focus to solely the 2nd strike, & the press & many Dems are just going along with that.
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Illinois / Cook County needs to do this too.
Officials can’t have it both ways. They encourage protest against ICE, but deploy their own police who initiate violence against those protesters, then uphold bogus charges that their police largely manufactured.

Super important! Yesterday, protesters were widely praised by elected officials and the public. People put their bodies on the line. Many were thrown violently onto the ground. Many took direct hits of pepper-spray. A few were arrested.
Charges against protesters are always arbitrary. Drop'em!
