Canada take note!
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media.
Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are.
Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

I think that there's an appetite in Canada for a general strike, but we're not yet at the tipping point. I don't know what it will be.

“Medical Properties Trust” owns 400 health care facilities & rents them back to hospital groups. 9 companies that leased hospitals from MPT have gone bankrupt. And while dozens of hospitals have been sold, entangled in bankruptcy proceedings, or become depleted shells, MPT’s execs earned millions.
On-call doctors who haven’t gotten paid and won’t answer calls.
Medical staff asked to come in and clean the hospital on the weekends.
Beds repossessed in the middle of the night.
This is the scene at just one out of dozens of hospitals impacted by a major hospital bankruptcy.

ending drug prohibition is a necessary step towards a better and more just world
All this activism against cop cities, carceral punishment, police brutality sure would’ve restricted the extent of police power but y’all ignored them and called them “naïve” and “unrealistic” and “far-left”. Supporting that activism would’ve been useful for these times of incarceration of innocents

In 1966 James Baldwin wrote “ I cannot believe what you say…because I see what you do”.
Liberal reconciliation has focused on the saying. The mirror reflection back into colonial logics.
But the world is coming undone and we need more than the saying. We need collective integral solidarity.

It is a marketing term designed to confuse patients, promote pseudoscience, and sow distrust in mainstream medicine.
