@mrjamesob.bsky.social The problem with hospital league tables is that it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy… those at the bottom of the table will struggle to recruit high quality clinicians and managers (without a huge cash incentive), so will only result in driving standards down further.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

You're not meant to know anything about deregulated Special Economic Zones and Freeports until it's all too late.

Most people haven't heard of SEZs and Freeports let alone the secondary legislation that is embedded within them, which means zero Parliamentary or public scrutiny.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night.

So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

What if Trump’s goal isn’t to govern, but to destroy?

His second term agenda could unravel US federal power, weaken the dollar, and hand control to the ultra-rich.

This is a chilling look at the future.
