this sucks a lot. sorry you have to deal with it, Miranda.

Also a way of beating MAHA at their own ‘populist’ game.

“If you won’t let us talk about serious health justice within formal political party process, we’ll create our own and best you at your own game” a la Mamdani.

As the healthcare system falls apart for just about everybody, it could be a chance to expand such a movement far more widely

It could be a way of building a state based, national membership organization. Could identify and develop leaders who could become viable with a base of power to run for elected office, could model what state level democratic health policy leadership could work.

This would be a way of symbolically challenging the undemocratic and unjust health policy systems that enrich some and immiserate and make the rest of us sick.

Right now health policy is totally captured by capital and governors who appoint health commissioners. Legislatures are unable to successfully intervene in any of it.

Oh cool. What kinds of people attended that training? Where are they operating out of?

Ethically and politically hollow SSN is unhelpful, imo. An empty vessel, devoid of meaning.
