"It's useless to stay sad. Instead we have to do something. When I reached the Tibetan border with India, I decided I would have to put all my effort into building institutions that would preserve what we used to have. We have done quite well."

No. Do I think HC is a right? Absolutely. But the M4A bills all state that the Sec of HHS is effectively the CEO.

How well do you think that would be working right now ?

In a fully transparent HC system, cities, states etc can decide what care to pay for their constituents. Much like Canada
@mcuban.bsky.social Would you - knowing what you know now - support a political candidate who campaigns for a single-payer healthcare system?

It takes some training to equate complete letting go with comfort. But in fact, ‘nothing to hold on to’ is the root of happiness. There’s a sense of freedom when we accept that we’re not in control.

“Learning how to love is the goal and the purpose of spiritual life - not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga, or even meditate, but learning to love. Love is the truth. Love is the light.”

They promised 90 trade deals in 90 days.

Today is day 80 and there’s still ZERO.

@maddow.msnbc.com Rachel, I've been enjoying your show for years. I especially appreciate how you connect the current event/s with the past!
I also thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Nicolle. I thought it did both of you great justice!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Chris, re: your 2-hour special on 7/4. I feel it was the best show I've ever seen you do! Great work, which I know included a lot of research or background work.
